Wouldn't Live Without It !!

I can always find the ingredients in my kitchen to make at least one meal from this book, even if I am running low on food around the house. I consider this a must have recipe book.

Bachelor's must have cook book

I've had this cookbook for 22 years. I met my future wife after impressing her brother and sister inlaw with my cooking abilities.The recipes do rely heavily on processed food stuffs - canned soup, muffin mixes etc -but that's how the ingredient count is kept down. Some of the recipies, such as company chicken and rice, have become family staples. We've been asked for the recipe many, many times. The recipies do allow customization by the cook based on personal preference - it's easy to remove an ingredient you aren't too fond of and replace it with something else. I'm sure none of these recipies will ever grace a plate at Buckingham Palace, but we've had great success with them.

A MUST FOR ALL KITCHENS

I first bought this book in 1991 after having dinner at a friend's house where every dish came from this cookbook. Since then, I have tried almost every recipe and have bought a total of 6 copies for birthday gifts, bridal shower presents, and going away to college gifts. Most of my favorite dishes come from this cookbook and friends are always asking for my special dinner rolls(jiffy cake mix is the secret ingredient). I own several cookbooks but when I'm in a bind and I need to make something fast and don't want to go to the store for more ingredients--I always pull out Six Ingredients or Less. You can tell. It has more splatters on its pages than all my other cookbooks combined!

This is a life saver for easy to put together meals.

This is my favorite and most frequently referenced cookbook.The recipes I've tried in this book are quick and easy to use and I usually have most all of ingredients on hand! Or I can often find a recipe that fits the ingredients I do have on hand. The recipes range from basic to some great but simple serve for company meals. Even my husband will cook using this cookbook!

Happy husband!

My wife has cooked many delicious easy meals from this book. In fact she has basically trashed it over the last 5 years and so I'm buying her a new copy!
