I'm a graduate student and I don't have a lot of time for cooking. Fortunately for me, my girlfriend (who lives overseas) sent me Good Food No Fuss, which is full of great ideas, all simple to execute and delicious. The steak with red wine and herb sauce is now one of my favorite quick dinners -- amazing how a little guidance can enhance previously drab creations. Anne Willan has shown me that it doesn't take a lot of work to be a success in the kitchen. Recommended for all those whose inner chef de cuisine is begging to be set free.

My husband and I love to cook, but sometimes (okay, often) during the week, we don't want to make a big fuss and want to get dinner on the table quickly so our family can eat together. This book has some really amazing recipes (like the ginger, lime, & cilantro pasta) that are quick, delicious, and relatively healthy. We use the book as an old standby, with plenty of great recipes we've cooked from several times, and we also use it for inspiration, for there are always more recipes to try. The recipes use ingredients we often have at home on hand, and they usually take about 40 minutes (not 30 as advertised) to prepare. A wonderful book!

I saw this woman as a guest on another cooking show. She seemed enthusiastic, the host was enthusiastic, and together they produced 2-3 recipes from this book.

I found a copy on Amazon (new/used) for about the cost of postage, and ordered it.

I have NEVER prepared a dish from this book. Despite the "30 Minute" and "One Dish" chapters, there isn't a single recipe in this book that has even *tempted* me to try to prepare it.

Save your money. This book adds nothing to your kitchen (or to your repertoire) ... even if you can get a copy for USD 3. Having read it now (several times) I wonder whatever it was that I originally found interesting.

It's worthless.
