When I first bought this book (a friend suggested it) I stuckit up on the shelf with the other cookbooks. But when I was invited toa dinner party by the same friend and he proceeded to serve the most incredible, healthy food (and this was a TV dinner kind of guy) I had to ask where he was taking cooking lessons. He told me that every dish he had prepared that evening was right out of 'The Cookbook of the Year' and the best part is that it only took him about 45 minutes to prepare and cook! I opened that book the minute I got home and I found complete shopping lists and daily menus. I went out and bought a weeks worth of groceries and began thrilling my roomate and family with these great meals! I can't say enought about this book. Buy it! You will use it. The food tastes great and it's healthy and easy! People actually think I 'cook' now. Wow!

I ran across this book at my mother-in-law's house while on vacation. The best part about the book is that it removes the day-to-day drab of cooking for a busy household. No extra fancy recipes or ingredients that require special ordering or a high-price spice or specialty store. A good cost-cutting, fat-cutting general all-around cook book. Highly recommended.

I am the mother of twin infant boys and this book has made this part of my life so much easier. I do not have to sit down and plan our meals and prepare a grocery list anymore! It is such a timesaver and the recipes are delicious and easy to prepare. My husband loves the food, and I love not having to dig around in the pantry at 5 o'clock anymore in a frantic search for dinner ideas.
