You know those cookbooks that have
tons of beautiful photographs but actually
very few recipes.

This cookbook--fortunately--is not one of these.
This book had more recipes and less
beautiful, arty, but ultimately useless photographs--
which is all to my liking.

This cookbook had one whole chapter on vegetarian
recipes, some recipes with tofu, some gluten free
desserts, and broccoli and cheese meatballs--what
could be more healthy than that?

A lot of the recipes sounded very tasty to me.
For somebody who wanted a meat and potato
cookbook they probably would not like it.

I feel that this cookbook really lived up to its name.

In a couple of weeks I am visiting my father and his wife, whom are older, just moved to a new city, and overwhelmed with the simple tasks. This cookbook has some interesting recipes, but most are too exotic for my father's taste - he is a meat and potatoes, bland cooking kind of guy. So by eliminating the recipes that interest me (Mexican, Thai, Indian, etc.) I am uncomfortable with making most of the stuff for Dad. Also, he doesn't grill, and some of the marinated meats have grilling instructions once thawed (yeah, could be baked or broiled but I hope to include recipe instructions when I give them the meals). Add to the complication is he has crones, so I also have limited vegetables he can eat. The cookbook has very few pictures, and I admit to being a sucker for food pictures. The layout is ok. It begins with make ahead tips, how to freeze and how to prepare. Each recipe cooks the recipe, then has "to refrigerate" and "to freeze" instructions. I am not sure how to rate it since I am not trying any of the recipes -so, for my father, this is an ok book but I can't use it.

Yum! Usually make ahead and healthy don’t go together so I had to check this out. I’ve got the sweet potato enchiladas in my freezer and want to try the chipotle turkey meatloaf. I really appreciate how practical these recipes are; no strange ingredients or lots of hands in time.
