That’s a win in my book.

I am not a cook. My family knows this and forgives me for it completely. My husband does most of the cooking in our family. He and I both liked this cookbook, though, for the simple recipes (that, despite their simplicity, went beyond average cookbook fare), easy-to-follow directions, and great photography. Maybe it's just a pet peeve of mine, but I hate cookbooks that don't include pictures of the food. Many times, it's the photo itself that will pull me in and make me want to try a recipe that I otherwise would've passed right over based on just the instructions alone.

Good, but nothing stood out.

I’m going to keep and hope I use. Lots of recipes that I want to try and lots of recipes I will never try.

This cookbook was so promising. The pictures of the dishes look simple and delicious, but the recipes sometimes did not rise to the occasion. Just didn't do it for me. For example, I recently tried making the sautéed zucchini, but it came out soggy.

Working my way through cooking the recipes that appeal but nothing leaps at us as a must add to the make-again list so far.

Good recipes, simple ingredients.

I use this one for my non-veg friends...simple and well-received.

beautiful recipes with simple ingredients, although a lot of them are premade short cuts.

the magazine's website has more and better website...but you can't beat my pals at RS when it comes to healthful, delcious yum yums on a budget. it's all about 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, y'all.

All the meals may be "simple", they are not original.

This book made cooking....Well, simple. The meals were so easy to make, and it tasted gourmet.
