Easy, Delicious and Nutritious

This is a great cookbook for busy people who like to eat delicious, healthy, creative meals. The recipes are easy to follow, with short ingredient lists. The preparation is simple but elegant. And the main idea behind this book, that you can "cook big" on the weekend and still not be doomed to eat exactly the same thing as leftovers for the rest of the week, is a lifesaver for me. The pictures are beautiful and the layout is easy to read. My only concern is that the binding will not hold up to years of use in the kitchen. I checked this book out of the library and liked it so much that I am now buying a copy.

On the go gourmets try this book!

My wife and I recently purchased this book with the hopes of being able to plan ahead for the week with a gourmet twist. This book has exceeded our expectations in every way possible. The meals are not only fun to prepare, but have gotten rave reviews with everyone we have shared them with. The book contains a broad selection of menus with varied meats as the theme. This versatility has really kept us trying each set of meals. We have currently tried the first two weeks and are excited about the remaining eleven. The chocolate cheesecake for week one is outstanding. If you like cheesecake, this recipe alone is worth the price of the book. The pepper crusted tuna with grilled asparagus and grilled potatoes will keep you coming back for more. If you are a person who enjoys cooking good food, but also enjoys a very busy and active life, then this book is for you. Enjoy and bon apetite.

This is a great cookbook!

Perfect for a busy two career household. Great food, easy to prepare and healthy. All recipes I've tried are near gourmet. Also saves money on your grocery bill. Highly recommend.

Fabulous!

Cooking for the Week : Leisurely Weekend Cooking for Easy WeekDAY Meals by Diane Morgan, et alThis is one of the better cookbooks I have seen. The book is well written, the recipes are clear and easy to follow, not to mention delicious.I recommend this book to anyone who has asked themselves what to do with leftovers or said that there is nothing in the house to eat.This book will get you thinking in a new, better, way about menu planning.

LOVE THE WAY THESE FOLKS COOK

These cookbook writers have it together. They feel the same way about cooking, eating, and enjoying life as my spouse and I do. We have been cooking with "planned overs" in mind for years. This book reaffirms what we have been doing for years and adds a new dimension. This last week we patterened our menus after their chicken week and it worked like a charm. This is a book which will stay in the kitchen and become batter spattered. It won't become lost in the closet. If you haven't checked out their other cook books you should.
