Summary: Indeed a misleading title!
Review: I agree should have been called "Cheapskate Gourmet" or something like that. I did not find a book chock-full of big money-saving tips like I was hoping for. It's mostly a gourmet cookbook with tips that help curb costs specifically of gourmet cooking. I'm sure this book will save me money if it helps curb our habit of eating out, but it would probably increase grocery bill of a family already cooking at home.I also am not thrilled at the paperback novel publishing type, with the small print, and binding that's hard to keep open. I'm sure it kept the book affordable, but it's not ideal for a cookbook!

Summary: Maybe a better title would be "The Cheapskate Gourmet"
Review: I did not find this book very helpful. There is an entire chapter dedicated to which expensive pots are the best to "invest" in (it seems the pricier the better, and I mean several hundred dollars, I actually went to stores and priced the recommended brands) and what kind of fancy kitchen gadgets are needed to create gourmet meals. I am not a professional chef, just a simple housewife that enjoys preparing simple, good-tasting meals for my family, the recipes here seem to be time-consuming and complicated. Not much money to be saved here!

Summary: Disappointed....
Review: I got this book from the library hoping to find some neat tips to save on groceries and kitchen items. This book gave me neither. It talks alot about how to cook gourmet type meals, not at all cheap. Not impressed with this book. I am glad I didn't order it.

Summary: A good book.
Review: This is one of my many cookbooks. I like how the author gives substitutions for ingredients if you don't have them on hand. I wish that there were illustrations and that's why I only gave it a 4. P.S- The honey glazed pheasant/chicken is excellent!!!

Summary: Not at all cheap!!!
Review: Unless maybe you are a single person who eats out at fancy resturants, and would like to consider this an alternative. Then again, that is if you could only understand half of the recipe directions! This book is the only ... thing you will be getting out of it. Not at all worth the money, (good thing I checked it out at the library before buying it), I would reccomend either The complete Tightwad Gazette, or Not Just Beans anytime before I would this book!!!!
