picture perfect

I gave this cookbook as a Christmas gift to a very novice cook. The recipient loved it's easy format and the terrific photos! The recipes were easy to prepare and resulted in success. We want to try others in this series as well.

Great Book

Sandra Lee teaches us how to use her 70/30 philosophy: Mix 70% quality prepackaged foods with 30% fresh ingredients and a dash of your own creativity to fix meals that are 100% delicious. All of the ingredients are easy to find in any grocery store and require little prep time. No fancy gadgets to cook with. A stove and a slow cooker are about all she uses. Chapters include; Comfort Food, One-Dish Dinners, Grilling Greats, Slow Cooker, Around the World and many, many more. Great pictures accompany easy to follow recipes. Fun and tasty cookbook. This will be your favorite the minute you try any of her recipes.

Easy Recipes for Lazy Cooks Like Me.

Contains a lot of quick easy recipes. If you are like me, I don't really like to cook but have a family to take care of, you'll love this book. I don't necessarily suggest that you use it everyday because of the amount of pre-packaged (high sodium / fat) items called for. However, it is a nice change from my boring everyday fare and takeout.

Great Book!

I'm a collector of all her books. This is a great addition to the ones I already have. I like the fact that her recipes are easy and use items you can easily find.

300 of Sandra Lee's favorite recipes.

This cookbook is 300 of Sandra Lee's favorite recipes that she considers worthy of being called "family meals." Typically that means they're kid friendly, and family and friends are welcome. The chapters included are "quick weekend meals," "one dish wonders," "all-american favorites," "grilling greats," and "holiday parties," just to name a few. If you have her other cookbooks then you have these recipes. This book is a compilation of her favorites in one book. These recipes are all geared for family-friendly meals. The BBQ sauce #7 is in this cookbook as well as her semi-homemade grilling 2 cookbook. It also includes the best of the slow cooker, desserts, and gatherings, etc. All great recipes grouped in one book. The pictures and display are just wonderful, typical Sandra Lee fare. She has a section devoted to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. This makes a great menu for parties you know would suit children as well as adults. Drink recipes are included. This would make a great wedding gift for the new bride because it includes the "best" recipes from her many different genre of cookbooks. It's a well-rounded cookbook.
