There were a half dozen good recipes for entrees that I found interesting enough to make. The rest of the book—sides, salads, appetizers, and desserts—was not all that impressive or enticing. I guess I expected more from a show with decades of cooking segments.

A Delicious Collection of Comforting Recipes!

Today Loves Food is a wonderful cookbook filled with recipes that feel approachable, flavorful, and perfect for everyday cooking. There’s a great variety of dishes, making it easy to find something whether you’re looking for a comforting family meal or a fresh idea for dinner.

The recipes are clearly presented and enjoyable to follow, with plenty of inspiration for cooks of all experience levels. I love that the dishes feel both practical and special without requiring complicated techniques or hard-to-find ingredients.

This is the kind of cookbook you’ll want to keep within easy reach in the kitchen. It’s full of inviting recipes that make you excited to cook and share good food.

Five stars! A warm, inspiring, and delicious addition to any cookbook collection.

This is a decent cookbook. The dishes are photographed, which is a plus. Most recipes come with tips and comments. Of course there is some behind the scenes content, but there really isn’t anything new here. These are uncomplicated, achievable recipes. I borrowed this cookbook from my local library and I recommend that as a way to see if this cookbook is for you.

I love cookbooks and enjoyed reading this but two complaints, early photos don’t identify the dish and recipe creators are often well known members of the Today family, but those that aren’t are not identified. Small details but they bug me. I would not purchase but get from your local library.

This is a money grab cookbook. The best recipes from the cast were contributed by Hoda. There is a photo accompanying every recipe. Just skip this book unless you’re a HUGE fan of the show, as this cookbook was unnecessary.

A nice mix of recipes! From the Today Show hosts to the Chefs who have been on the show! Looking forward to trying them out!

3.75 This is when my two favorite things collide together, the Today Show and reading cookbook’s. If I own a cookbook I have made 90 percent of it and just don’t buy any cookbook.

I read a library copy of this book. I think I need one for my shelf at home!

quite a few yummy ideas

[Donna Robinson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall, this was a good cookbook featuring recipes from those who work on the Today Show. There are plenty of recipes and even some nice additions you can make or change. Some recipes I did not like because of my food allergy and preference but overall this was good.

Beautiful pictures for each recipe. All the recipes are easy enough for beginners. The meatballs (minus veal) are almost the exact recipe I always make to rave reviews.

Great recipe book!

Good variety of unique recipes from appetizers, entrees & yummy desserts. I have added some to my favorite recipe book.

Found at least 6 things I want to make.

[Bobbi Galvin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lots of ingredients in these, but I did get what looks to be an easy baklava recipe.
