Customer Reviews

The easiest and best-tasting cookbook I have EVER used!

This cookbook has helped me cook meals the way I have always dreamed of (seriously!): absolutely delicious and EASY to prepare and cook...this is from someone who was never taught how to cook anything other than boiling water for pasta and/or scrambling eggs. Now I'm cooking recipes like "roasted pork medallions with balsamic-honey glaze", "scallops provencale" (restaurant quality...reminds me of a dish from a very well known restaurant in Houston), "saucy mini meat cakes (delicious little personal sized meat loafs), and "salmon teriyaki" just to name a few. I actually look forward to cooking now...especially since my husband and daughter are thrilled. I am going to buy lots of these cookbooks as gifts!

What a GREAT cookbook!!

What a great cookbook! The recipes are concise and very easy to follow. The main recipe is accompanied by a whole meal menu, including dessert. For each recipe, it lists what you need from the grocery store, along with what you will need from your pantry. One thing I really like about the recipes is that you don't need 1/4 tsp. of this seasoning and 1/4 tsp. of another - I love it and recommend it to all my friends who are avid cookers or first time "chefs."

Meal Time Helper

I got this book as a gift and I love it. It has been so helpfulto me for meal time planning. I am so busy and I love theway every meal is spelled out especially with the ingredient list. I am about to buy two more as gifts. It makes a greatgift for anyone who uses a kitchen. My children love the chickenfingers with dipping sauces on page 78 of the cookbook. I highlyrecommend this book. It is a great addition to anyones kitchen.

great recipes

I found the meals that I tried were of company quality. The crispy oven-fried flounder was very tasty and also good for you. With the shopping list supplied and the suggestions throughout the cookbook you can really do 20 minute meals that are truly delicious. The ziti with fresh herbs, smoked mozzarella and prosciutto was really easy and delicious too. I highly recommend this cookbook for anyone who enjoys cooking and finds time at a premium.

Beautiful and all planned out for me

This book is beautifully laid out so it's a pleasure to use. I also loved that it told me exactly what I needed to buy beforehand or have in the "pantry", paltry as mine is. And the recipe I tried worked - I did a great meal in 20 minutes!
