5.0 out of 5 stars A must in your cookbook library., July 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gourmet's In Short Order: Recipes in 45 Minutes or Less and Easy Menus (Hardcover)

All the recipes are easy to make and delicious!! If I come home late and need to put something together, I go right for this book. The Oriental Spaghetti with Shredded Vegetables and Spicy Peanut Sauce is great and to make it easier, I just have all carrots. The Grilled Flank Steak is a snap with white rice on the side. All the recipes are simple and tasty with stuff you can easily find at your local grocery store. I highly recommend it, especially if you don't have a lot of time to put a meal together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly easy recipes. Great photos. You'll love it!, January 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gourmet's In Short Order: Recipes in 45 Minutes or Less and Easy Menus (Hardcover)

I've cooked at least a dozen recipes from this cookbook. Each one is easy. All of them turn out great! The recipes use standard ingredients and spices found in most kitchens. The photos are mouth-watering. Get this book! Also makes a great gift.

This review is from: Gourmet's In Short Order: Recipes in 45 Minutes or Less and Easy Menus (Hardcover)

I got mine bargin elsewhere for $... but it was worth every penny! The first part of the book features 10 different themed menus which is great cuz I always get tired of just making mashed potatoes and rice for side dishes. The menus come complete with entrees and 1st courses, etc.....

The rest of the book features pictures and is dividing into the standard sections that most cookbooks have: chicken, meat, poultry, starters/1st courses, deserts, etc.....

I love this book because the recipes are gourmet but indgredients are not rare and they are not as complicated to make.

This book is great if you are not into "comfort foods" and want to really cook something that tastes divine and pleases your husband/significant other :)
