The Weeknight Survival Cookbook : How to Make Healthy Meals in 10 Minutes

Rating:
Summary: Best cookbook, easy, delicious, a must buy
Review: Are you tired of searching through healthy cookbooks to find a recipe, and then spending more than a hour in preparation? This book was a great find. Your grocery list is prepared, buy your food, prepare in one day (about 1 hour), and you're set for the week. The food is delicious (and healthy). If Dena Irwin writes another cookbook in this manner, she will definately have a sale from me.

Summary: The best of the genre - No "duck tacos"!
Review: I am very pleased with this book: it is simple, the recipes can easily be modified, and best of all: there are shopping lists. I find that a large part of my meal executing woes are caused by not having time to plan and make lists. The foods are very middle of the road: not too gourmet, not too many processed foods. A couple meals a week are vegetarian, but carb watchers can add a fish fillet or chicken or something to the meal easily. Lots of veggies are included too. After purchasing a similar book that ended up suggesting I make "duck tacos" this book is a winner. Tip: take it to an office supply store and have the cover laminated and have it spiral-bound for easy use.

Summary: Goodbye Chineese Delivery!
Review: I have completed week two of this book and am delighted. The food is simple and good and QUICK! Though the recipes are for four, I have easily made the adjustments for two (my husband and I). The Sunday preparations for the rest of the week have not exceeded an hour yet--wow! With all the money we are saving-no deliveries, and all the extra sleep we are getting (thanks to quick prep and quick clean-up) this could be the best thing that has happened to us in a looooong time! Would have given 5 stars but the meals are not quiet gourmet...

Summary: Life Changer - WIFE changer!
Review: I have NEVER written a review before -- who has TIME??? But this book is a must-have for any busy working woman/wife/mother. This book has saved my life, my marriage and my sanity! It is SO easy, so healthy, but does NOT taste "healthy!" Cream of Broccoli soup with no cream? My husband did NOT believe me and LOVED it. He now brags to his coworkers about the "gourmet chef" at home. But the recipes take 10 minutes!!! (And with the book, he can help!) Not to mention the speed, health and sanity it offers you, it also SAVES YOU MONEY! Go buy "The Automatic Millionaire" along with this book, and you will see how unplanned spending at the grocery store and/or dining out can be your "Latte Factor". Become a 10-minute gourmet chef now and a millionaire over time! Gotta go -- back to work! Busy busy busy!

Review: I have tried many cookbooks and this one makes it so easy, healthy and delicious. My three kids have enjoyed many meals.

Summary: Great!
Review: I love this book! Most of the recipies are very very tasty for how healthy they are. I feel great and actually lost weight eating these recipies (along with my normal exercise routine). I am single though so i wish there was an easier way to make 2 servings instead of 4.

Summary: A must-have cookbook for busy families
Review: I stumbled across this cookbook recently, and I am so glad I did! I have read many (too many) cookbooks on how to prepare quick healthy meals and this book is excellent. I love going to the store armed with a list of healthy ingredients that I KNOW will give me a week's worth of nutritious meals--at least for me and my husband. My kids are super picky, so I have to work around them a bit. But it is not hard to do using the ingredients in these meals. I would recommend it to any family looking for healthy and quick dinners. It has definitely helped my stress level and made me feel like a more organized cook. I commend the author for her work on this cookbook. Great job!

Summary: Dissapointment
Review: I was very dissapointed about the types of recipes that were offered. I consider myself to like most foods, but this cookbook had many dishes that the majority of people would not like. It also has several tuna dishes, yuck. I'm sending mine back ASAP.

Summary: Five Stars
Review: Right this minute I can tell you what I'm having for dinner every night for the rest of the week. Not only that, the ingredients are already in my house because a weekly shopping list is included in the book! And the meals are super quick to make, healthy (the author's a nutritionist) and filling. A life-saver for this single guy.
