Cookbook for the real world

As other reviewers have mentioned, this is a really practical cookbook. No matter how bare my cupboards, I always seem to be able to find a recipe that turns out tasty. The dishes are fast (she even calls out some that are faster than others) and you don't need to make a special trip to the exotic grocery for ingredients. I have a special cubby for cookbooks in my kitchen. It's small, so a book has to make the cut. This one lives in that cubby.

Michelle Urvater is the best!

I first picked up a review copy of the original MtoF cookbook when I worked in a bookstore and found it one of the most well-written, creative, practical, consistently good cookbooks I have ever used. I bought the Pasta book for my husband when he was learning to cook -- We both love it!!! Michelle Urvater provides a wide variety of recipes and always has suggestions for playing with ingredients and what to do with leftovers.

The best practical working family cookbook available

My wife and I absolutely love this cookbook. If you are looking for a quality cookbook with simple yet substantial dinners taking less than a half-hour to complete, then this is the book for you. Save your money going out to dinner and prepare a meal from this book that will accomplish the same goal.
