5.0 out of 5 stars They really work!, December 5, 2001

This review is from: Busy Woman's Cookbook (Plastic Comb)

The recipes with only 3 and 4 ingredients are wonderful for the cooking-challenged like me. And here's the best part. The stuff actually tastes good! My husband and son have never been too crazy about my meatloaf, but I made this one (the secret ingredient is catsup in the meat and as a sauce), and they went back for more. Walk--no, run and get this one today. Tell all your friends. I have made the Licking Good Spareribs, Old Time Meat Loaf, Over Noodles Beef Stew, and Chicken Fried Steak.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quick meals, less time, less ingredients, August 29, 2002

Deanne Kelley (Bridgewater, Nova Scotia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Busy Woman's Cookbook (Plastic Comb)

I commute 3 hours a day, and this book will give you quick hits for meal time. You should be able to find a recipe at the end of your workday, made with everyday household ingredients, that taste good and don't take much time to cook.

My favorite recipe was the Pretzel Baked Chicken and the kids enjoyed the Lazy Day Potato soup the best.

You should buy this book if you:
-hate to spend a lot of time in the kitchen
-like simple fast recipes
-want something that tastes good made in less time

Enjoy!!! Bon Appetit

This review is from: Busy Woman's Cookbook (Plastic Comb)

This book is not just for women but for men too. With over 500 recipes you can find lots to like. The recipes use simple, easy to find ingredients. A great cookbook for beginning cooks, college students, busy people, and those physically unable to spend time in the kitchen. Soups, side dishes, meats, cakes, pies, cookies, appetizers. Also, the side notes about remarkable women make great reading.
