not a newlywed but i like to eat. Simple, easy and elegant recipes. Short prep times excellent results the majority of the items most people have already or they are easy to find. Good book for a bad cook.
Awesome!!!

I purchased this cookbook right after I was married after seeing the author on television (one of the morning shows) and it has become my best friend in the kitchen. I am one of those people who gets intimidated in the kitchen, and this book was great. And my husband loves many of the receipes we have tried (especially the chicken marsalla). Great, easy to read format with clear directions. I have gotten many complements on the meals made from this book!
Wow! I Am So Glad I Bought This Book!

I never learned to cook, never thought I would be interested in cooking....until I bought this book. Married for less than one year, I've used this cookbook almost exclusively! The Super Bowl chili was a HUGE hit at our annual party this year, and my new husband LOVED the Valentine's Day dinner. The recipes are easy to follow, and I've been VERY happy with the taste and appearance of the dishes. One word of caution, keep your new spouse around to help out, because it can be tricky to make all of the suggested dishes at the same time! You WON'T be disappointed with this book!!
Great for Beginners and Experienced Cooks

I first saw the author on Sara Moulton's TV show and thought her recipes seemed reasonable. Since my husband and I love to cook and entertain, I immediately bought her book hoping I was right. (We have several cookbooks that a master chef would have difficulty using.) The recipes in The Newlywed Cookbook are simple, yet deliciously gourmet. As a newlywed herself, Robin Vitetta-Miller understands the stress associated with the "firsts", her section of prepared menus offers great stress-free options that you can use as is or add your favorites to easily. We hosted our first Thanksgiving dinner using the turkey recipe and it was amazing! We have since enjoyed many of the other recipes and we have yet to find one we don't like. This is a must for any newlywed couple who enjoys cooking, entertaining and good food.
Fantastic cookbook!

My mother gave this to me after my wedding and I love it! The recipes are great -- most recipes use ingredients I already have in the house or can easily substitute. It is also great that the recipes are often geared to smaller numbers of servings -- two to four people, for example. I also appreciate the clear instructions and lists of required ingredients and supplies for each recipe.
