5.0 out of 5 stars Everything to love in a cookbook!, April 24, 2007

This review is from: Betty Crocker Quick and Easy Cookbook: 30 minutes or less to dinner (Betty Crocker Books) (Spiral-bound)

This cookbook has it all - the spiral binding that makes it lay flat so you can consult it while your hands are full; beautiful pictures of every recipe; nutritional information for those of us trying to eat more healthfully; an easy-to-use index! The recipes really ARE simple, as the name implies; they don't ask for you to hunt down obscure ingredients, nor do they expect you to know how to perform professional chef miracles either. This is for the everyday cook, who doesn't have a ton of time to devote to cooking but who does love a good, healthy, easy meal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Motivating for a "non cook" like me!, February 21, 2008

This review is from: Betty Crocker Quick and Easy Cookbook: 30 minutes or less to dinner (Betty Crocker Books) (Spiral-bound)

A friend of mine had an older edition of this book at work, I paged through and liked everything I saw; however it was out of print. I purchased the current edition and am so glad I did! From pizzas to soups to seafood it has so many great recipes, and I like the ideas at the beginning of each chapter as well. They are easy without a lot of ingredients and fuss, perfect to stock the pantry and be ready for a quick (delicious!) meal after a long day.
