I liked to look at the pictures, but to me, the meals seemed "Real Simple"- for Martha Stewart. A lot of the recipes used ingredients that I didn't have, and if I bought them, I wouldn't use them much.

Presentation & photographs: 1 page clear recipes w/ large clear appetizing photographs. Preparation time, total time, & servings. "The next time try".... was interesting as well were the tips.
Sections: One-Pot Meals; No-Shop Meals; 30-Minute Meals; No-Cook Meals; Freezer Meals; short-cut Meals; Reliable Sides; and recipe & Tip Index.
Grilled shrimp tacos; Panzanella (day old bread salad); Soy marinated London broil (Tip cut meat at a slant for tenderness); Steamed halibut & asparagus in parchment; Scallop & corn chowder; or Shrimp w/ arugula &
couscous.
So I am not going to even try: Minted peas, Creamy Parmesan polenta; Ham & cheese waffle sandwiches; French fry pie; Shrimp, watermelon & avocado salad; Sweet pea & mint soup; Not-so-sloppy Joes (no cinnamon in my meat); Crispy leftover pasta; or Saucy eggs.
I may not add this to my collection, but I will happily borrow it from the Library!

A very organized organization book. Some info is completely obvious. I didn't really get any new ideas. Nice pictures. I don't know why the picture is of meals made easy, this is the real simple organized home book.

I bought this book in my 20s, as someone who enjoys food but didn’t (and still doesn’t) identify with ‘foodie’ culture. I’m into plant-based comfort food and keeping it simple but (ideally) sublime.
The lasting value of this cookbook is less about distinctive meals and more about celebrating the approach of simple-but-delicious. It’s more of a look at the value of putting together something with modest ingredients and thoroughly enjoying it. Which is how normal mealtime is probably most honestly approached, in terms of time, money and flavour.
The ideas can be adapted to vegetarian or vegan eating.
