Good gift book, few recipes,

This review is from: Gifts in a Jar: One Dish Meals (Gifts in a Jar Series) (Spiral-bound)
I have most of the books in this series. My parents are aging and I have been looking for items that I can make for them which will have a long shelf life and would require them to do minimal food preparation, yet still have a 'home cooked meal'. The recipes fit the bill for the most part. In each book I found that there were a few recipes that are great and some I wouldn't try at all. This is what I usually find in any cookbook. I would comment that each book only has about 25 or so recipes in it. The rest of the pages consist of 6 copies each of pre-made instruction cards to enclose with each food package. I did feel disappointed in the number of recipes for the cost of the book

Gifts in a Jar.. One Dish Meals,
This review is from: Gifts in a Jar: One Dish Meals (Gifts in a Jar Series) (Spiral-bound)
Bought this for my daughter. She works long hours, six days a week, so coming homr to fix a meal that's mostly prepared (and SHE knows what the ingredients are) is very time saving for her. They have allergies and has to choose her ingredients carefully.

It must be me. First time, I counted 22 recipes. Second time, I got 21. So I rounded it down. There is no index or table of contents, which hurts the book IMO. The price doesn't seem bad, but for so few recipes I think it should be two or three dollars less.
Also, there are NO SERVING SIZES. You don't know if you have five or fifty servings per recipe. Very bad, and on that alone, I would say only buy it used. The recipes are not vegetarian but can be converted. Most can be converted to vegan as well. Recipes include chicken, seafood, ground beef. The meals aren't bad, either. The jambalaya is good (though I leave out the seafood and just eat the rice, LOL),as are the other recipes I've tried. There are two pancake recipes. The rest are chili, chili mac, soup, jambalaya, and a few casseroles. I think this may be a good book to have on your shelf if you are wanting to make gifts, create "just add water" meals (you can use oil for butter, dehydrated veggies for fresh, TVP for meat, and you have it). You can use this for OAMC but it won't be freezer cooking -- you are creating pantry meals. I am using it to create vegetarian meal packages for the poor. I'll use plastic bags instead of jars to fit more meals into less space. Good addition to your library if you like beans and pasta, chili variations, and ground beef one-dish meals.
