2.0 out of 5 stars dissapoinment! I thought it would lay out menus., September 22, 2003

This review is from: Cook Once, Eat for a Week (Plastic Comb)

I ordered this book hoping it would be a weekly version of the once a month cooking books, intead it just had advice on freezing and preserving and a bunch of recipes, I still have to do all the planning, just as I would with any other cookbook.

2.0 out of 5 stars Save your money...buy a different book, May 10, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Cook Once, Eat for a Week (Plastic Comb)

I was very disappointed in this book. The part of the book about how to actually cook once and eat for a week was very small. The book was mostly recipes. I returned the book ASAP.
