In five years, over 50 percent of the food brought to our tables will be prepared outside the home by complete strangers, whether purchased from a restaurant, deli counter, or grocery freezer. With The Takeout Cookbook, you'll learn the facts behind takeout and acquire the culinary skill-set of the future, including: how to get the most value and pleasure out of your money, time, and digestion, the advantages of the pickup and the downsides of the drive-thru, the optimum takeout temperature for your refrigerator (and which containers are microwave-safe), when to tip and when to complain, the difference between nigiri and temaki, Neapolitan and Sicilian, how to throw fabulous takeout parties, and whether or not to let your guests in on your cutting-edge takeout secrets. Plus so much more!

Also includes:

* Refrigerator labels for your takeout, so you know when to toss
