I have to say, I was suspicious of the title for this cook book, because, let's face it, usually "brand names" are out trying to accomplish one thing - selling their own name!

However, this book has surpassed all of my expectations. Not only are the full-page pictures on every page gorgeous, mouth-watering, and helpful, but EVERY SINGLE recipe I've tried have been EXCELLENT.

The best thing is that this book is that, in its efforts to use "brand name" products, the recipes are simple and easy-to-understand, with shortcuts like using canned diced tomatoes or pre-made Italian dressing. Usually I have everything the recipe calls for right in my cupboard, and substitutions are easy to make. Because of this book, I've become more creative, trying out things I never would have dared to experiment with before.

Best cookbook I've ever owned!
