5.0 out of 5 stars One of the tTop ten easy fast meals...., October 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Betty Crocker's Cook It Quick: Homemade Made Easy in 30 Minutes or Less (Betty Crocker Home Library) (Paperback)

I found this cookbook at the library and plan on getting my own copy. Easy to read, very nice pictures, simple, fast, with less than 10 ingredients for almost every recipe. The books divided into section starting with 10 Quick Recipes You Can't live Without, Lighter Fare, Pronto Soups and Main Dish Salads, Quick Meaty Main Dishes, No-Fuss Poultry Fish and Seafood, Easy Pasta Grains and Beans, On the Side, and Simply Delicious Dessers. Nothing real fancy and nothing calling for expensive ingredients like many cookbooks I've seen. The recipes can also be changed to meet anyones preference. Spice it up, add more vegetables, or substitute. Some of my favorites are the 3-Step Enchiladas, Speedy Beef Stew, Apricot-Glazed Pork, and the Quick Jambalaya. Some call for frozen vegetables which I've found saves money because they won't spoil before I can get to them like fresh veggies do. For some of the chicken dishes, to save time, I buy a rotissouri chicken and take what I need for that recipe and use the rest for another dish or for lunches the next day. It's great for chicken salads too. This book is perfect!
