Summary: Just doesn't taste good!
Review: Well, I really wanted to like this book. I read it like a novel then rolled up my sleeves to try some recipes... I ended up throwing a lot of food, as I couldn't get anybody else in my family to eat them! Even I could not bear to eat the leftovers. And the recipes weren't as quick and easy as I wanted. Maybe I'll have better luck with a cookbook by Jeanne Lemlin, which I will order next.

Summary: "What a Relief"
Review: What a relief! Finally a cookbook which offers some quick great tasting recipies plus the added kicker of a shopping list. The authors have very cleverly set-up the recipies to tell you what is needed from your pantry supplies and then what you need from the store (usually the perishables). After you stock up on the recommended basic pantry supplies all you need to do is pick up a few items from the store. When I come home from work I can't think anymore and it was always a struggle for me to think of a fast, nutritious, vegetarian meal. Since I aquired this cookbook, I just ask the kids to choose a meal and then I get the few things I need from the store. Sometimes I have everything on hand. Most other quick meal cookbooks focus on the short preparation time of the meal but I think the added bonus of having what you need at hand is also a time saver. Nava Atlas & Lillian Kayte did a geat job organizing the meals, the recipies are healthy, and they do take 28 minutes!
