nice everyday ideas for beginners!

this was one of the 1st cookbooks i bought, and i used it a lot then. cons: like many cooking light cookbooks, some recipes use prepackaged, precooked and/or processed foods. i found once i knew what i was doing a bit better i could substitute fresh ingredients where necessary. (examples: frozen cooked chicken, frozen mashed potatoes, commercial pesto, frozen beef stew, etc.) i originally purchased this & began cooking out of necessity, so it was o.k., but now i don't like it as much for this reason. there is a section of side dishes in the back of the book, but it doesn't contain the great majority which are dispersed along side most of the entrees. while convenient at the time, it makes finding them again a pain. the serving sizes are small! pros: the recipes are good, easy, and guide you through with a chronological supper plan, including serving suggestions. there's even a good french toast recipe, despite the "supper" title, rationalized by breakfast for supper. =D i am usually cooking for 2, and while this cookbook is not entirely geared for 2, it does have a nice little section for just that, and the other recipes are not overwhelmingly large.

Everything we've tried is GREAT

With a newborn and a toddler running around, I'm constantly strapped for time. This book has been a solution for me. Each recipe I've tried has been easy to make, very tasty, and healthy too. I am going to begin purchasing this book for every baby shower I go to. It is a must for anyone who likes to cook, loves to eat, but no longer has time to do either...

Indispensable!

I LOVE this cookbook. The meals are tasty, yet simple and (of course) superfast! There's also plenty of opportunity to play around with the ingredients and make the dishes your own. Every recipe I've tried has been great so far. I HIGHLY recommend this one.

Make dinner without thinking

This cookbook tells you exactly what to make for dinner in 20 minutes. The menu includes an easy main dish and one or two exceptionally easy side dishes. It requires almost no thought. I pick something to make over breakfast, make a small shopping list, then take 20 minutes to make dinner when I get home from work. With twice the effort I could make slightly better food, but this book makes everything super-duper easy. It's healthier and easier than getting takeout.

I received this cookbook as a gift. This is the first cookbook that I've found in which the recipes are simple and quick enough to make after work without being a burden and the food is always delicious. I've probably made 30 of the dishes now and they have all been hits with my family. This is my favorite cookbook out of the 100 or so I have. I use it everyday.
