Customer Reviews

For newlyweds, new cooks, moms and everyone else who likes EASY and YUMMY!

When I got married I got several cookbooks and found either the recipes called for ingredients that were too "out there" or hard to find OR the recipes took a really long time and a lot of preparation to make (30 minute prep time was really more like 2 hours prep time). I'd find winners in these other cookbooks sometimes, but it felt like a hunt with only occasional winners. As a then working wife with a working husband and no kids, I didn't have time or energy to do anything too exotic for dinner. This cookbook solved my problems. It has color pictures on every page and "normal" ingredients, and I've never made a recipe in this book that wasn't great. Prep times and baking times are pretty accurate and listed at the top of each recipe. And most recipes made enough for four, so after we ate, we had enough left for 1-2 servings of leftovers, but not tons. Even my husband whose cooking experience was limited to bachelor fare like frozen burritos and Pasta Roni could make these recipes and enjoyed being in the kitchen because the recipes aren't too elaborate. Then we had kids and I had to start cooking for pickier palates. Again this cookbook has saved us! These recipes are kid-pleasers (with the exception of recipes that call for salsa or something a little spicy that is easily adapted to their tastes) and as a mother of two little ones, the feature that shows prep time and cook time helps me plan better. It also has suggestions for substitutions or different ways to make some of the recipes. I give this now as a wedding gift and recommend it to everyone looking for easy, delicious, simple recipes. However, this cookbook is not for the serious cook looking for artistic creations - it's a down-to-earth cookbook for sensible family meals. You've gotta try it!

Great Cookbook!

This is a great cookbook for the time pinched who still want to at least give the impression of homemade. The book uses premade, canned, frozen ingredients in all the recipes. Also good for amature cooks. Easy!

Best Cookbook Ever!

This has been the greatest book for me. I am a college student, and I use this book all the time to make food for my roommates. They totally love it and think I'm a great cook, when actually I haven't had that much experience. I usually make mistakes in my cooking, but this seems to be fool-proof! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants genuine good cooking the quick and easy way.

A Great Buy!

I wasn't much for cooking...BEFORE I bought this cookbook! Now, my family ALWAYS wants me to cook, and brags about how good I am! Little do they know, that I have this secret cookbook! All of the recipes are very "homemade" tasting! It has appetizers, classic recipes, tex-mex, everything! I highly recommend it, any dish I've made out of it, has been quick, easy, and a crowd favorite!

Quick & Easy!

I am such a fan of the Campbell's Cookbooks. All of the recipes include easy-to-find ingredients (most ingredients are regulars in most households anyway) and are fast to cook. I am a calorie-counter, and while many recipes are not light, they are easily lightened using the "Reduced Fat" or "Healthy Request" versions of the products in the recipes. My single favorite recipe is the one for Garlic Shrimp Pasta - it's amazing that a recipe that starts with Campbell's soup can almost seem like a gourmet meal. Many recipes that you may already clip from the back of soup cans can be found in one neat and organized place here. I highly recommend this book - especially if you are looking for dinner in a flash!
