Another beautiful cook book from Quartro Publishing Group. I Love Tasty has beautiful step by step pictures and instructions, easy recipes with everyday ingredients most people should have on hand presented in clear and concise manner. This is a perfect book for the novice cook, though any cook would love it.
I follow quite a few different versions of 'Tasty' Facebook so I'm familiar with their recipes and I usually enjoy watching them. When I requested this cookbook from NetGalley I thought that it was an official book from Tasty, I guess I didn't read the description very well. So it was a little disappointing when I started it and realized it wasn't official. But obviously that's my own fault.
This collection of recipes isn't very large, I read through the book in about 15 minutes. I'm not sure I liked the recipes they put in this book all that much. I felt like there are a lot of better and more interesting recipes that Tasty puts out that could have been included. It would have been nice to see some more international dishes maybe from Tasty's other pages as well. There were a few decent looking one's that I hadn't seen before that I will more than likely try soon. The recipes overall felt very basic and maybe they were going for more of a beginner cook audience but it made the recipes not very interesting to me. Some of the "recipes" I wouldn't even really call recipes, like the teriyaki chicken wings that include ingredients of pre-made teriyaki sauce and fresh chicken wings. All you do is slap some sauce on the wing's and cook 'em! LOL. There was also an ice cream sandwich recipe where you took pre-made cookies and pre-made ice cream and slapped them together! SMH. Overall this is not something I would have spent money on.
*I received a free advanced copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Very easy to read and delicious looking pictures. Great cookbook and am planning to use many of the recipes.
If you love the Tasty recipes, you will really enjoy this cookbook. Beautiful pictures and step by step instructions of all the recipes. So easy to navigate through the ebook via the index as well.
Even the beginner cooks will find this book extremely easy to follow. Measurements are in both Metric and Imperial so no conversion is necessary.
I am sure anyone who purchases this book will agree to loving it as soon as they open it up.
Thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Harvard Common Press for the opportunity to read and give an honest review of this book.
Great variety of recipes. Used to follow Tasty on FB but have fewer and fewer recipes.
Tasty but in book format, what’s not to love?!
This the perfect recipe book for those who don’t know how to cook, are learning, or just don’t really feel like cooking. It’s simple, has easy to follow step by step instructions. With pictures. Bonus.
Each recipe looks Tasty (see what I did there?) and brilliant for any level of skill. Plus the book has conversions in each recipe. As a Brit this is massively handy cause I have several differently sized cups.
I love this book. The simple, clear and concise presentation of the recipes make them easy to follow and encourages you to give them a try.
The food maybe be easy to make but they look tantalising and as the title suggests tasty.
Perfect addition to the bookshelf for students, new cooks or rusty ones.
The recipes all looked super easy. Each recipe also has pictures for each step of the directions. I think this would be a great cookbook for someone just learning to cook. I think a college student, a newlywed, or anyone suddenly doing all the cooking would learn a ton. For more experienced cooks, you'll appreciate the color photos and the simple dessert ideas. I think easy cooking and easy baking are entirely different, so the easy dessert recipes felt more impressive.
This review copy request was a no brainer for me. I love when the Tasty videos come up on social media. There is always something that I never thought to try, or even something that simplifies prep for a recipe I’ve already been using. The videos are easy to follow. However, if you’re looking to have a neat little place to have these recipes to pull out on the fly this recipe book is a great place to start. The pictures are simple and easy to follow. You can’t go wrong with these. The only issue I had was the version given doesn’t show the complete layout of the book itself. P.S. The Kick'n Quesadillas were a fave.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishers for this review copy. I follow Tasty on facebook and love watching the videos of different unique recipes, so for it to be in a handy book is even better. Obviously it is better to watch the video for clear instructions on how to make things, but the book is just as good. The recipes are original and look very good to eat. They pictures are clear and the instructions are simple and concise. Even the most basic of cook shouldn't go wrong with these. Well worth the buy! Five stars!
