Great!!

Great recipes and a very graphic and cleanly designed book. Me and my girlfriend love these recipes (and that's tough when she is this picky!)

This is a good cookbook for two

I read the other reveiws and people, it's just a cookbook. It has beef, pork, chicken, it has vegetables, soups, salads, desserts. Just like every other cookbook, but these portions are smaller and I am so thankful for that. I bought one for my house (now that we are empty nesters) and I gave one to my married to be nephew and future wife. I love the fact that I have no more leftovers and my nephew and his fiance love the new food to try other than the fast food and take out they are used to eating. This cookbook calls for "real" food that you have on hand or that is easy to purchase without breaking the bank and does not require a lot of "special" food or cooking processes. I love that because in this busy day and time, I don't have a lot of time to shop for "different" food. I hope you enjoy this as much as we have.

saves room in your fridge!

My husband and I received this book for our wedding, and 4 years later we still love it. All our other books yielded 4 servings in most recipes, and we would end up with piles of tupperware containers in the fridge holding leftovers that inevitably went bad. We have tried all of the entree recipes in the book and love them. There are also a lot of recipes for soups, salads, and even some sandwiches food that is easily portable. My husband is the cook in our house- I rarely cook, and am very much a beginner, but all of these recipes were simple enough for me. Yes, there is a lot of chicken, but I don't know too many people who don't like chicken! And yes, there are a lot of vegetables too- but you're gonna be looking a long time for a recipe book without chicken or vegetables. If we didn't want to eat chicken or vegetables, we'd go to McDonalds.

Great if you don't want leftovers

I have found this cookbook to be a great addition to my kitchen. It has recipes of varying levels and diversity througout. Good buy especially if you hate eating leftovers for days!

Great help for busy nights

Everytime I cook something from this book my husband loves it -- just once! No more leftovers! You can through out your Tupperware and start cooking the right amount for two. The ones I've tried have been really tasty and healthy too; the portions aren't skimpy either. I like that the nutrition info is so clear.
