Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This really is a wonderful cookbook. I bought it in college and it was really great for making quick, wholesome, tasty meals in what little time I had. Now I continue to use the book because the recipes are so wonderful; and I bought my mother a copy, which she uses on nights when she gets home late from work or doesn't feel like cooking.
Many cookbooks that advertise expedience have little to offer other than bad-tasting food. Not so with this book! The recipes are inventive and plentiful--it would take a long time to get tired of all the meals in this book! One of my favorite things about the book is that the author explains the reasoning behind some of the shortcuts he takes and also takes the time to educate the reader on how to perform basic cooking duties. I am an experienced cook and found the comments interesting and helpful rather than annoying.
I recently bought this book for a friend of mine who is very afraid of the kitchen. She has already made 3 recipes from the book, all of which were a success. Just a great, great book.
