There are only about 160 recipes-not one for each day like I thought there would be. Mon. & Tues., Wed. & Thurs., and Fri., Sat.,& Sun. each share a recipe-3 per week. I've had this calendar for about 2 months now and only about 3 recipes look like something I would make. These recipes are not your everyday ones.

I love my calendar and use it everyday!


It was shipped in a timely manner and am so happy to have found it online. I had looked but could not find this particular calendar in our town.

I'll go right to this website next year for EASY replacement.

Not much of a calendar. It is just a big stack of recipe cards that happen to have two days/dates at the top of them. The recipes don't seem to be very simple or appealing to me.

I really like this calendar a lot, and will save many of the cards for my permanent recipe collection. For now, it sits on my desk at work so I can see the date and flip through the recipes when I'm on a break and looking for cooking inspiration. It seems no matter what I'm looking for, I find it here. ( The Chicken Adobo and Cold Noodles with Sesame or Peanut Sauce are particularly fantastic.) The recipes are varied, tasty, inspiring, and keyed to the seasons. Quite often, I flip through the cards to look for cooking ideas, tuck a card or 2 in my purse and swing by the market on the way home. Really really convenient! Bittman's How to Cook Everything also works for me because his style is all about maximum flavor with minimum effort. I was glad to see that there's going to be a 2009 How to Cook Everything calendar. By the way - if you want to see what the cards look like there's a picture of one on the 2009 How to Cook Everything Calendar Amazon page. Bon Appetit!
