This is the greatest 30 minute meal guide of all time. I've made some incredible dishes that left my dates speechless and smiling. I would recommend this book to every cook or beginner.

Not only does it contain nutrition information for all dishes but each recipe has a color photo and the ingredients are things I already buy! Every busy mom who likes to feed her family well should buy it!

This book is great! I've never really cooked all that much--but this book has made it very easy for me to "throw together" wonderful dinners easily in not a lot of time. It's really made me look like a gourmet!!!

I recommend this book to ANYONE--but it's especially helpful for inexperienced cooks with not a lot of time on their hands!

I borrowed this cookbook from the library and now I have to buy it because it's GREAT! Everything I've tried has been a hit with the whole family. It lists the nutritional value for each dish and includes side dish suggestions too! "Buy it, you'll like it"!!

I received this book at my bridal shower. I've since bought copies for many of my friends. I LOVE that every recipe has a picture and nutritional information. The ingredients are basic things that I always have in the pantry. The meals are quick, healthy and taste great. The directions are very easy to follow. I recommend this book hands down! LOVE IT!!!

I usually like cooking gourmet meals entirely from scratch, but everybody has a busy day now and then. My brother had made me a couple of things from this cookbook (raspberry honey chicken and mexican pasta salad) and I was hooked.

The recipes are reliable and consistently a hit; although, there are a number of recipes in the book that I know I'll never use. I tend not to use prepared ingredients because the results are often disappointing, but this book has managed to walk the fine line between convenience and taste. They also include suggested sides so that I don't have to give dinner any thought at all.

In addition to the two mentioned above, some favorites include florentine pizza, chicken stir fry pizza, margarita chicken, italian three bean skillet and spinach-feta frittata. I know I'm leaving some out, but this book accomplished what it set out to do and has helped me put dinner on the table quite a few nights.

I love this book. Pictures for every recipe and ingredients I can find at my local grocery store. Lots of fun going through for a shopping list, hard part is deciding what to make. Includes a kids' favorites section with dishes kids can help plan and make.

This book is amazing. We have made four of the recipes so far and had four incredibly yummy meals and they took very little time and effort to do... just as it advertises. Go figure. By the time I get home from work the last thing I want to do is spend two hours making dinner, so I am very thankful to have found something like this.

This cookbook has not failed me yet. I have tried about half of the recipes and would make all of them again. Only two meals needed a bit of extra spices, but that's an easy fix. The recipes are versatile, easy, have common ingredients, and each recipe is pictured as part of a well-balanced meal (giving those of us non-cretive types ideas on veggies or other sides). I recommend this book without reservations.

I have never left a review before, but I had to write one about this book - All of the recipes are simple with easy to follow directions - And there are pictures to go along with every recipe - There is even a section of food for kids - Most of the ingredients are things that you are already going to have in your pantry - Fabalous must have for anyone who doesn't always have a lot of time -
