Customer Reviews

easy and creative dishes!

I recently moved to a VERY tiny condo with a VERY tiny kitchen. I bought this book because it looked like it had some great ideas for things I could actually put together without too much preparation. This book did not disappoint. It just came today so I have to admit I haven't actually cooked anything from it but I can't stop flipping thru it. Everything looks so tasty and most can be prepared in minutes. I love Sam's easy breezy attitude, too. This is my first of his books and now I want to purchase more.

My new GO-TO cookbook!

I love everything about Sam's cookbooks. The recipes are always so easy and great tasting too! His books are the ones that I always reach for when I'm in a hurry cause I usually have all the ingredients already in my pantry. I've given his first cookbook to several people as gifts and will do the same with this one. Everybody loves it!

IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!

This book is the best! Maybe even better than the last. Hurry - quit reading and go order it NOW. BTW - gotta love SAM

Mrs. Yum Yum

Sam has saved my marriage. Finally, someone has the good sense and knowledge to help me make my family not only happy, but estatic. I've tried several of Sam's recipes and they're not only delicious, but absolutely outstanding. Our family has been following Sam's TV show for years, and finally network TV has discovered him- I can't wait for his next appearance on the TODAY show- he just makes it rock. His latest cookbook with all those exciting recipes just demonstrates how really good and healthy simplified cooking can really be. All our friends are loyal fans and have bought every one of his previous cookbooks. Bravo, Sam!

This book makes me want to cook!

I have been a fan of Sam Zien's for some time now. I love to cook for my family, but I would not say I am an expert in the kitchen. I have always wanted to be more adventurous with recipes, but never knew where to start. Sam's new book, Awesome Recipes and Kitchen Shortcuts, really surprised me in a positive way. This is not only a great recipe book, it is also a true cooking guide book that every food lover should own. Sam busts out of the box of traditional cookbooks in that he also teaches you how to have flexibility and enjoyment with the entire cooking experience. His book shows you how cooking and fun should be synonymous and that food should not only look good, but taste good! Oh, and I love his sauces. They taste awesome and they are a breeze to make. This book has changed the way I cook, completely!
