I bought it for a gift, so haven’t used the cookbook, but it looks very easy for anyone to use just starting off cooking……….

The recipes in this book were a little “out there” for me. I have more simple tastes and most of the recipes here were things my family would never try. For someone a bit more adventerous, I’m sure this book would be enticing, but for me, I couldn’t find one thing that I would make that my family would be interested in.

There were a few good recipes in this book that were “easy”. However many of the recipes were not easy. To me “easy” should apply to more than the actual preparation of the meal. There were many recipes in this book that called for obscure or uncommon ingredients that were difficult to find.
A better recipe book that exemplifies “easy” is Eating Well Serves Two by Jim Romanoff. While I have not tried every recipe in the book, I did prepare many of them and every one was not only delicious but “easy” to shop for and prepare.

I try never to miss the author’s telecasts on Food Network and was really looking forward to her latest book. I am always looking for cookbooks that have easy recipes for meals that I can serve my family. I was disappointed in this book–too many unusual and stir-fry recipes. Maybe “healthy,” but certainly not “luscious.” I would not recommend it to people who like hearty food.

Easy? More like Martha Stewart easy. Many of the recipes have long ingredient lists (15+ items). I eat a lot of healthy, fresh, organic food, but I don’t think I’ll be making many of these recipes. Having said that, there are some true gems in this book, such as “blueberry-almond french toast bake,” that you make the night before. I think this will be our new Christmas morning breakfast. There are several “to go” lunch recipes, interesting wraps & sandwiches, that will likely make it to my kids’ lunchboxes.
This book has beautiful pics of many of the recipes, and every recipe has detailed nutrition into, including what vitamins and minerals are abundant in the recipe. Another really nice thing about this book is that the recipes are presented as a complete meal, such as “chipotle orange glazed pork chops with maple squash puree and spinach-green apple salad.” I know I’ve tried new recipes and wondered “what the heck would go with this?”, and she takes care of that here.
So, basically, if you tend to be more of a gourmet “California Cuisine” type chef, you will probably absolutely adore this book. As for me, there are some stellar recipes that I know my whole family will like, but most will go untested in my kitchen.
