Customer Reviews

WOW! Wish there were more books out there like this one!

I purchased this book used because of the first review--which was less than kind. The book came in excellent condition and I'm VERY glad because I think the book is GREAT!!!!! Yes, it does contain some pre-packaged items like coleslaw mix and gravey in a jar, but frankly, I'm too busy to make everything from scratch! Frozen veggies are there too, but that's okay because they can be healthier because they're frozen very quickly, compared to fresh, which unless you shop at a good fruit market, can sit there for a while. There's even a hand full of recipes using the crock pot--a real time saver! I'd absolutely give this as a gift too. Pictures abound for those of you who like to be visually inspired! Nice fish recipes, pasta, a very cool section on quick side salads. Because of the range of foods, there is lots of color with the meals as well. The shopping list is brief and very helpful. The book is well layed out. There's even a cute little microwave chart for cooking veggies--which we all know we need to eat more of, and they go so great with lots of things! There's this nice little "Vegetable Salad Marinade" that you make then it gives four VERY healthy legume salads to use it on--no leftovers to waste! There are some unusual, different recipes too like "Moroccan Chicken and Lentils"--how's THAT to break up the same-old-thing routine? I don't know folks. I love to cook, but time is at a premium at my house. I think this book has earned five stars!

Wonderful! Wonderful1

This book is truly the best cookbook I have ever owned (and since I collect cookbooks, that's saying alot). I had the book for only 1 week, and have tried 2 recipes (Mexican Chicken Skillet & Dijon Porkchops). Wow---they were quick, easy and truly delicious.The book gives food exchange value for all recipes. Since I am counting food exchanges to help me lose weight, this is a great feature!The recipes I tried truly did take less than 15 minutes. I could hardly believe it! If you're even considering buying it.....BUY IT. You won't go wrong!

Great Cook (Eating) Book

Take it from an eater of these recipes -- they're awesome. Because they're so quick _and_ so easy the number of "standard" menu items in our house is steadily increasing. Of the dozen or so entrees attempted so far, only one has not met with 100% approval (parents and kids). So many cookbooks get bought for one or two recipes. This book will get used for more than that - making it a five star book by far!

Working Women, This Is The Book For You!

I am a busy working woman and not much of a cook to boot. The meals in this book take only minutes to make, but taste like you really know what you're doing in the kitchen. The nutritional info also makes this cookbook very easy to use with the Weight Watchers 1-2-3-Success program. We're buying two more for Christmas gifts this year!

Quick & easy menus the whole family liked.

I have a lot of cookbooks with easy or quick in the title that I never use because either the recipes are not healthy or are not tasty or both. I use this Cooking Light cookbook EVERY week for at least 3 of my weeknight meals. Not only is everything easy to prepare, healthy, and tasty; it is easy to search through the book to pick my menus for the week before going to the grocery store. Everything is spelled out for you. I would use this book even if I had plenty of time during the week to cook.
