Rating:  - An Easy and Successful Way to Menu-Plan
This is such a great concept- and it works, if you are faithful to it.
I got cookbook/guide a while ago and used it haphazardly at first, choosing to follow it on some weeks and ignore it on others.
Then, a friend of mine who saw it at my house and ordered it started following it faithfully and told me of her good experiences with the book. I decided that I would give it a go, and have not been disappointed.
I have only skipped one recipe in the "schedule," ... Read More
Rating:  - I already have a cookbook
I really bought this book because I have two small girls and I wanted my family to be the family who cooks dinner every night and eats at the dinner table instead of feeding the babies and us eating later. So I thought this would be more of a workbook or something to help me accomplish this. Okay, so I already have cookbooks and I can honestly say I can write and use a grocery list. So this seems to be all this book is. A cookbook with a grocery list. If cookbooks and grocery lists did it for ... Read More
Rating: - Wow
I really love this book. I took 2 weeks worth of recipes in this book, because I had 3/4 of the ingredients from 2 weeks worth already in my kitchen, and I created 1 weeks worth of dinners and the grocery lists. My husband and I were really amazed at the different types of foods we can cook for LESS than the monotonous food we were eating before. We now have variety for a lot less.
Rating:  - simple recipes for good cooking while living abroad
I received this book as a wedding present and didn't open it for the first year I owned it because the recipes were too simple for my husband's and my taste. We love to cook and love experimenting with flavors, and everything just seemed bland and unimaginative.
However, it was the only cookbook I brought during the time I spent in South America doing research for a few months. I love the joy of cooking complicated recipes for my husband at home and honestly, I was worried that without ... Read More
Rating: - Didn't like the things I tried
I made 2 dishes from this book, followed recipes to the letter, and both came out poorly.
The Orange Chicken was so bad that we ended up tossing 4 chicken breasts, 4 cups of rice and a lot of fresh broccoli. The book seemed to cost me more than saved me time.
I am moving on to a few other books and giving this to someone who might want to take more chances than I.
