I was looking forward to this as I am incredibly lazy. However, most of the recipes don’t look very appetizing, and I think in large part it is due to the way they are taken. There are food stains on the dishes, the items look plated very sloppily, and the colors look washed out rather than bright and colorful. I saved a couple of recipes and will try them, but when I look for a cookbook, I like gorgeous pictures that make me want to eat the food, and this just did not have that.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.

I like one dish dinners that are quick don't use a million ingredients and taste good. This book has soups, stews and main courses. Will photos that make you want to make them and easy to read instructions this is a good book to have on hand. From the Chicken Tortellini Soup to the Tuscan Tuna Salad with White Beans you will find something to spark your interest and taste buds. I recommend this cookbook for your library. It will come in handy.

Full of great very quick and easy meals. Stuck for something to feed your family tonight? Dashed off your feet surrounded by children after a long day at work? This is the book for you. Informative, easy to follow and very handy to have around.

A great cook book for anyone that is on the go and wants to start a meal and have it ready when you get back, or just to put in the oven. Some of the meals reminded me of ones my would make when our three children were still at home and life was an endless drive, drive, drive, for her and needed something quick and filling especially for a teenage boy over 6 feet and I was working. Still some of these recipes are still good today all you need to do is cut down the ingredients and they still work. I have done it. The photos are very good and book is broken into sections, soups, stews, casseroles, salads etc... A very useful cookbook I believe.
