Review: I have at least 40 cookbooks which I have acquired over the years but this is my favorite by far. I continually go back to this one for new, EASY, creative recipes which are always a hit with my family and for entertaining. The majority of the recipes have just a few ingredients and are simple to prepare…or I wouldn’t be making in the first place! I’ve now tried 4 of the recipes in this book, and they’ve turned out nicely. Pictures are good too. The one thing I have a problem with is that the prep times don’t include prep - because the ingredient list contains already prepped items, such as 1/2 c celery, chopped, or 8 oz chopped sun dried tomatoes- items which I actually have to prep, and many of them just don’t come that way. I still highly recommend this book for fast delicious recipes - just add an extra 10 minutes to the times. (The molten cakes on the cover are easy and delicious).I saw a similar cookbook while visitng a friend. It was out of print. This one is even better with great, easy & quick recipes. Every one I have tried has been a hit with my family.This is a great cookbook. My sister-in-law recommended it to me. I made a shrimp dish for my friends and they also requested a copy of this cookbook. The other day the same friend told me it’s her faviorte cookbook. The recipes are easy to understand, easy to prepare and are very tasty.I like flavor! I love to eat good food! And I am all about saving time but come on- does this mean I have to use so much tasteless processed food! Very disappointing.
