This review is from: The Everything Quick And Easy 30-minute, 5-ingredient Cookbook: 300 Delicious Recipes for Busy Cooks (Everything (Cooking)) (Paperback)

This book is excellent and the recipes are delicious and foolproof. My family has loved all of the recipes I've prepared from it. They're quick and easy and classic with a twist.

If some reviewers would actually READ the book before reviewing, they would see that Ms. Larsen doesn't count oil, water, flour, and seasonings in the five ingredient count. It's helpful to know the parameters of a book before you start cooking, let alone write a review. And there IS no recipe for pesto in the book. ALL of the recipes are five ingredient and meet that standard.
