Budget Gourmet Home Cooking

We have the first edition of this cookbook and love it. We've given many copies away and are glad to see that it has been reissued. The recipes are delicious and simple and satisfy our love of international cuisine with a Vancouver flavour.

Hands-Down Our Favorite!

This cookbook is fabulous. My husband and I rely on it, and have yet to find a bad recipe. I've just taken my copy in to a print shop to have it ring bound because it's beginning to fall apart from years of use. I keep hoping that the Vancouver Sun Times will publish a sequel. If you like healthy, easy, excellent cooking, this is one not to miss.

I use this cookbook again and again

_Six O'Clock Solutions_, a collection of main dish recipes, comes from the _Vancouver Sun_ test kitchen. To be included, a dish must take no longer than 30 minutes to prepare, from start to finish. The recipes are easy and forgiving,.. and draw on worldwide influences -- Italian-style pasta dishes, Asian-inspired chicken sauces, French seafood stews, etc. Assuming you have a reasonably well-stocked pantry (balsamic vinegar shouldn't be a stranger), you'll find that you can prepare most of the recipes with ingredients you already have on hand. Best so far? It's a tossup between Glazed Apricot-Walnut Chicken and Chicken Breasts with Mushrooms and Creamy Mustard Sauce.A chart at the back of the book shows which recipes are low-fat, which are especially fast to prepare, which are good candidates for entertaining, and which have the highest KAF (kid acceptance factor). Each recipe is accompanied by suggested side dishes. The _Vancouver Sun_ has also produced a cookbook called _Five Star Food_. I hope they continue the theme and write cookbooks featuring four, three, two, and one!
