Terrific book! All the recipes are easy, healthy, delicious, and make just enough for two or three people. Perfect if you don't like eating leftovers and are tired of wasting money throwing away uneaten food. The Parmesan-Glazed Chicken recipe is to die for!

Fantastic cookbook. Versatile and delicious. I guess it's a product of it's time though and so, no pictures. And no adjustments for gluten, sugar, dairy, cilantro or whatever people need to avoid these days. How did the entire American population fall apart in one generation that now they can't eat what their parents ate? I'm 50 and when I was in school, one kid had a peanut allergy and everyone thought he was a freak. Now everyone is allergic to everything. That is seriously concerning. 🙁

Within the first few months of purchasing this cookbook I had made around 50% of the recipes, and have since increased that to nearly 80%. There were only two occasions where my sweetheart or I felt that the dish shouldn't go on the 'repeat' list, which is a great record, especially as compared to the other 'cooking for two' books I have. Great results come with basic skills, and the focus is on fresh ingredients as opposed to canned or frozen.

I love that this cookbook is focused on the recipes. There are two sections in the beginning with tips and techniques, and the occasional in-depth ingredient explanation fleshing out a recipe, but there is no space that's wasted that could better be devoted to recipes.

I never give cookbooks as gifts, because people have such different tastes and needs when cooking, but made an exception for this one. I bought a second copy for a friend and have considered buying copies for my sister and mom. All three households have two or fewer people and the variety of recipes would allow everyone to find dishes that satisfy them.

I am having tremendous success with these easy-to-follow, easy-to-love recipes. I am getting over my kitchenphobia nicely. I recommend this because the recipes have nutrition information and are geared toward healthy lifestyles, without cutting on the taste and filling corners.

These are truly healthy recipes--lots of good whole grain stuff in there.
