bored with the same old dinners? this book will turn your dinnertime around!

This is a wonderful cookbook! A wide range of easy to make, fast delicious family meals. You could easily find a recipe to use ingredients you have on hand. I don't feel that unusual ingredients in some of the recipes are a problem. You buy a recipe book to try new foods, right? So part of that is buying new ingredients. Thanks to this cookbook, my family has tried many new ingredients. Wonderful photographs, descriptions of meals and nutrition information. This is my favorite cookbook and I make something from it every week. "Fast and Fabulous Fish" and "Dependable Pasta" are my most used sections. Great recipes for salsas also.

Discover Some Wonderful and Unusual Dishes

The cookbook lives up to its name. The introduction says, "Every recipe has appealing, innovative flavors created from easy-to-find meats, poultry, and fish, garden-fresh produce, and creative seasonings." That's true. More than half of the recipes are pictured. The photographs make every dish look appealing. Each recipe is on its own page which makes it easy to find and easy to follow. Nutritional information is included for those who have dietary concerns. One large section is dedicated to vegetarian main dishes which many cookbooks ignore. I like what I've made so far, but I believe there is one flaw. The recipes are easy to prepare IF you have the ingredients on-hand. Many of the recipes call for ingredients most people might not have on-hand. Some recipes are definitely seasonal unless you don't mind paying higher prices for out-of-season produce. If you plan your meals and shop from prewritten lists, you'll be in great shape to have wonderful, tasty meals. Otherwise be prepared to spend time searching for ingredients before you can create one of these easy-to-make dishes.
