5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Cookbook Ever!, August 9, 2010

I've never posted a review before, however I had to post one for this book because it is fantastic. I have tons and tons of cookbooks but this one surpasses them all. I purchased the book a while ago and have prepared many meals. I'm pretty good at following recipes, but depending on the creator and how well the preparer follows the recipe, will of course determine how tasty the meal will turn out. My point is that even though you follow a recipe to the letter, if the creator is not such a good cook (even though they have published a cookbook) the meals could turn out yucky! That is not the case with the Sassy Girls...these ladies can cook; every one of the recipes in this cookbook comes out perfectly delicious every single time. I get so many compliments when I prepare meals...I love it! I would recommend this cookbook to anyone, because even the worst cook will be a gourmet chef for a day.

I purchased several copies of this book to give to my girlfriends for Christmas and I love it. We all have a bit of the hostess diva in us and this just plays it up.

This is the second book I've owned from the Get 'Em girls. Like the first one, it did not disappoint. Makes me want to grab a bunch of people and invite them over for a stupdendous meal.
