200+ Simple, Flavorful Recipes to Make Cooking Easier and More Enjoyable

Kimberley Melvin: Love the photos and clear easy instructions to follow. Loved the recipes I tried. And the information on how to cut chicken as examples. Differences in meat. Many examples. Going to be my main book.

Jackie: The media could not be loaded.  This book seems like an overall good cookbook. It’s The first one I’ve bought so far and so I wanted something simple but solid. However, although I think most people would really enjoy the recipes here, it’s not really the type of food I was hoping for.

It has lots of text and some small demos as well as recommendations for products and dedicated pages for learning how to go about Serrano things like broth or useful things to know about steak

It’s also not a start from scratch sort of cook book. The ones I’ve looked at so far (I just got it 5 min ago so take what I say with a grain of salt) have things like rotisserie chicken witch is the go-to for a fast chicken soup and precooked rice that you get in those small bags at the store.
Anyway, I will still be trying some of the recipes and I’m sure they’ll turn out just fine :)

GravityGear: ATK always has fantastic recipes, and these are no exception. This our second ATK book. HOWEVER, make sure to attend to the part where it says COOKS in 30 minutes or less. That does not count prep time. Most recipes take 45+ minutes.

Amazon Customer: Gave this to our son and his partner for Christmas, since they are novice cooks. They have been using it a lot and love that it explains the science behind cooking.

Stephanie Eddy: I work full time and also often have work in the evenings but I still want a homemade dinner on the weeknights. This book has been perfect for me and my boyfriend and the recipes really do get to the table in about 30-40 minutes.

My favorites so far have been the Thai Curry and the Chinese Orange Beef. Really great flavor, easy prep, and lots of interesting dishes to choose from. I have a lot of America's Test Kitchen books and I think this one is now my favorite.

The only downside is that the recipes are all "full-flavor" which means more fat and calories, it's not excessive but I usually cook from the healthy or calorie reduced books. It's the only thing that prevents me from cooking from it every single night.

Christina: OK I've had a chance to go through it, I haven't read it cover to cover as I will eventually but I did spend some time with it today.

First thing I noticed was the size.......WOW I LOVE IT! It's THE PERFECT size. It isn't large like the Best Of series. It's probably 7 inches by 8 inches, I really do love the size.

Secondly, as I flipped through the book I noticed IT'S FULL of color pictures. Not just small ones that focus on a technique, but FULL PAGE color pictures of finished dishes. Much more than we've seen in the past. Not just a couple of sections in the book, know what I mean, a lot through the entire book.

Third, the quality of the pages. WONDERFUL! Heavy,glossy, quality pages. Not whimpy flimsy like the ATK Family ring binder book.

Finally, the content. Are these new dishes? Um.......nope, but really did you think they would be? :) They are BASICALLY the same but changed up a bit. And who knows, maybe there ARE new recipes. I only have two Best Of books, the 30 Minute and Skillet Meals books and frankly, they don't inspire me and have looked through them a few times. I know the content is good if I just take the time to read it but I am visual....
