Summary: Tasty meals that are easy to make
Review: Everything I have prepared from this cookbook has been quite tasty, as well as easy to fix. These recipes live up to their billing as meals that you can prepare easily and quickly when you get home from a day at work. Not a lot of ingredients and no complicated preparations. But the food is simply yummy. I plan to give this cookbook as a gift to fellow working stiffs.

Summary: Great for someone who doesn't like to spend hours over a....
Review: I bought this book for my brother who doesn't cook, is a total working stiff, and is sick and tired of take-out. However, when I leafed through it I knew I had to keep it for myself. I'm married and we have two small children and the quick but scrumptious-sounding recipes really appealed to me. So I kept it and gave my brother something else for Christmas last year. On New Year's Eve I prepared a meal from this book for our family: Jumbo Shrimp, Chicken Breasts with Artichokes & Mushrooms, Herb-Roasted Potatoes, a green salad, and Chocolate Pecan Pie for dessert. What a meal!! Since then, I've cooked from this book many times especially when I'm in need of something quick. The recipes are classy and just plain wonderful. I love this cookbook and yes, I did get one for my brother too. Guess what? He's actually begun to cook! Thank-you Bob Sloan for such a wonderful little cookbook!

Summary: These are not easy
Review: I have several weeknight cookbooks, and I actually bought this one more for its hip design than its contents, but I was pleasantly surprised at the latter. Everything I've made has been tasty and pretty simple to prepare. My only complaint: no pictures!

Summary: A dream come true!
Review: I searched for ages for a cookbook that had quick, tasty recipes that wasn't a how-to-cook tome or chock full of dishes made with expensive ingredients, and The Working Stiff Cookbook was the answer to my prayers!This book is probably best for someone who:
a) likes to cook and already knows the basics, but is lazy (*ahem*) or busy or both!
b) has a hodgepodge of kitchen gadgets bought on a whim that never get used (all the chopping in this book has reacquainted me with the finer points of using a mandoline)
c) wants to prepare tasty, elegant meals with the minimum of effort. I will admit that the lack of pictures didn't even occur to me until I started reading these reviews. The dishes are so simple and easy to visualize, I didn't need or miss them. The real winner has to be the Deluxe Chicken recipe. I have a feeling this one's gonna save me from stressing too much over last-minute dinner parties. The One Pot dishes are all divine for someone living in a small apartment with limited counter space.

Summary: Eat it up, yum!
Review: This book was given to me by a girlfriend who saw me as a potential husband. One of my flaws, according to her, was that I did not know how to cook so she gave me the Working Stiff Cookbook as a birthday gift. We were never joined in matrimony but at least now I know how to cook, and what a joy it is! Since then I've purchased quite a few cookbooks but time and time again I'll pull out this one. The salmon recipes are killer, especially the pan-fried salmon. You'll love the quick chicken recipes as well. So buy the book already! You'll thank me and your stomach will thank you.

Summary: A Must for Every Kitchen!
Review: This is a great book for those who DO know how to cook. I love to cook and am quite good at it, but with 2 little ones, time is of the essence. I didn't want to give up 'pretty' food for 'quik' food...this book is good for meeting both those objectives. I am going to give it to a friend that doesn't like to cook. I think she will like it as much as I do because it has simple,fast and contemporary food selections.

Summary: Squash your hunger in a hurry!
Review: When you get home from work, the last thing you want to do is spend a lot of time in the kitchen. With The Working Stiff
Cookbook you can still cook a gourmet-style dinner, without all the hard work. This cookbook is probably the one I use the
most in the kitchen. The recipes are embarrassingly simple, and you don't have to go to a specialty store to get any of the
ingredients. Before you know it you'll be whipping up Thai-Style Flounder with Coconut Rice and Chicken Curry in a Hurry!
