A cookbook of make-ahead entrees and detailed instructions on how to prepare and freeze 30 meals in one day. Month of Meals addresses the cooking process from start to finish, including what foods don't freeze well, what types of freezer containers to use, and how long foods can be safely kept in the freezer. It includes master forms of shopping lists, freezer labels, and dinner forms that can be photocopied. 80 chicken, fish, beef, and meatless recipes that emphasize fresh ingredients and ease of preparation are featured in a easy to read style.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very well organized, good for the beginning monthly cook., July 10, 1999

This review is from: Month of Meals : One Day to a Freezerful of Entrees (Hardcover)

This book is very well orgainzed, a good beginner's manual if you are new to once-a-month-cooking, she explains what can be frozen and what can't, for how long, etc, very well. I liked most of the recipes, but I would like to see more chicken and more ground beef recipes, since those are the less expensive cuts of meat and those of us on budgets use a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent cookbook, June 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Month of Meals : One Day to a Freezerful of Entrees (Hardcover)

I love to cook and I love to buy cookbooks. I've looked at hundreds of cookbooks, and I definitely like this one. I especially like the three ring binder format so I can insert my own recipes and notes. And the shopping list and other forms are excellent... I especially liked the freezer labels. It's so convenient to be able to copy something out of a book without breaking the spine! I think this author's strong point is organization. She sees cooking as a job and wants to help people get that job done as quickly and efficiently as possible

I am a professional speaker and consultant who specializes in time management, enhancing productivity and life balance. I loved the concept of month of meals but never found a resource I could recommend to my clients until I came across this gem! Not only do my clients rave obout the book's recipes and organization, so do I. As a business owner and working mom, this book has saved me time, stress and guilt. I no longer worry about dinner, even when my business takes me on the road away from my children and husband. I know my family will enjoy healthy meals and a "taste of Mom's cooking" even when I am away. My clients who are working parents echo the same praise. If anyone is debating the purchase of this book, don't hesitate. This is a true winner!
