Customer Reviews

Delicious, delightful, and best of all EASY!

I must confess I'm a culinary klutz, but this book has given me a LOT more confidence in the kitchen! These recipes are super easy to follow, and the results look elegant and taste delicious. So far my favorites are the farfalle with zucchini and lemon-cream sauce and the ziti with garlic-roasted cauliflower -- but that's only because I haven't tried them all yet! This book is terrific for someone who wants to eat well but doesn't have a lot of time to waste fussing around in the kitchen. I didn't spend more than a half hour on any of these dishes, and it's so satisfying to finally be able to impress family and friends with my cooking! It's also beautifully illustrated, so it'd make great gift book as well.

Quick, Smart, Scrumptious, Savvy, Stylish, and Sensible Food

This book is amazing. It makes it possible for regular people to make not just quick but quick, smart, scrumptious, stylish, sensible food with savoir-faire. She totally debunks all that cook like a chef stuff--and I don't want to cook like a chef. I'm not a chef. I want to make fabulous dinners without spending my entire evening or life on them. All these recipes are easy, but with big deep flavors and no convenince foods. She's simplified everything for us--and I really appreciate that. And she has such good ideas, such a fine palate.I will use this book until I've cooked everything in it--and by then, I hope there will be another book from her. Thank you Susie!

Streamlined Cooking

I like for meals to look like I put a lot of effort into them, but I don't have the time or energy to prepare them. This is the first cookbook that I have owned that helped simplify and streamline my cooking. I have been inspired by this book to reorganize my utensils, spices and dry ingredients so that I can prepare delicious, nutritious and simple meals. I love to use fresh herbs and many of these recipes allow me to use all of the varieties in my garden. The photographs are lovely as well. This is a nice addition to my cookbook collection.

I recommend this book.

This is a fantastic cookbook. I found that the selection of menus and the ease of preparing them to be very convenient and delicious. I also thought the photography was quite beautiful and made it easy to choose a meal by simply looking at the pictures. I will definitely keep this one very handy in my kitchen.

Quick Simple Food. It's all that. And more.

Susie Quicks' new take on many of my favourite recipes is a welcome addition to my vast collection of cook books. I love to cook but am often pressed for time with a family including three teenage children.Our family has lived between Paris, Sydney, London and New York for the past twenty years and are very keen on ethnic yet sophisticated foods. Susies' recipes are just that without cutting corners that can lead to less than successful results. Once you've tried the Turkish Meatloaf you'll know what I'm talking about.The photographs are magnificent and the look of the book is sleek and modern. I'm inspired to try any of the recipes by just looking at those images.Susie Quick is the best thing to happen to good food since Donna Hay.Two thumbs up!
