Rating: Summary: Simple, elegant recipes with complete menu suggestion. Review: Great cookbook, and simple recipes. Variety of recipes that appeal to everyone's tastes. Perfect gift for anyone who likes to cook and those that don't.
Rating: Summary: want a GOOD dinner - fast? Great ideas to work with. Review: I borrowed this book from my sister. We both love to cook and agree that this is a must. Not only are the recipes delicious, but the pictures are most tantalizing. How many times have you decided to eat at home, but you really want to eat within the next hour? This is what you need! The ingredients are basic, and of course you can always substitute in a pinch - but this cookbook will inspire you. I usually play with recipes, but these I want to try true the first time through.
Rating: Summary: I use this cookbook more than any other Review: I like this cookbook for a number of reasons: the recipes truly take 30 minutes or less TOTAL to prepare (prep and cooking), they use a combination of convenience foods as well as fresh ingredients, and the recipes all make 2 or 4 servings, which shows they were created as entrees for every night, rather than for guests. That said, I have served many of these recipes for guests and they have declared them "gourmet meals". The recipes can usually be doubled, and I've found it fairly easy to cut a "serves 4" recipe in 1/2. In fact, because the recipes are quick to prepare, I often make 1/2 of a "serves 4" recipe twice in one week rather than prepare the whole recipe once and reheating it on another night.
Rating: Summary: Best cookbook I own Review: I've cooked several pasta and seafood recipes from this book and they are all winners. The recipes all seem well-tested and accurate. Best of all, the book suggests accompanying side dishes and desserts that are well placed.
Rating: Summary: Great main dish recipes, and MORE! Review: This is a great resource for cooks on a tight schedule. The book offers a nice variety of entrees, including a number of excellent vegetarian dishes, and I really appreciate the side dish and dessert suggestions. This is a useful, unique cookbook that would make an appetizing addition to anyone's collection.
