The QuickFlip system really helps me in the kitchen. It makes cooking so simple. I like being able to make the different international versions of main dishes, soups, side dishes, even desserts and know I'll have a good-tasting, healthy meal without a lot of effort. I also like not having to learn a lot of different recipes in order to add variety to my meals. I feel creative and healthy and I'm spending a lot less time planning meals. It's great not having to dig through 10 different cookbooks - the Quickflip is all I need!

I no longer have any excuse to live on soup and bread alone. Keep in mind that I'm not much of a cook. That's why the protagonist in my murder mysteries cooks - guess what - soup and bread and nothing else. Any recipe with more than five ingredients in it baffles me. I'm not even sure why I chose to read QUICKFLIP TO DELICIOUS DINNERS. The catchy title? The colorful cover design?
What I found inside, though, was an astonishingly well-organized scheme for varying the Pasta, Pizza, Stir-Fry, Saute, Oven Baked, Soup, Grains, Veggies, Meat, and Desserts. There's the Table of Contents for you. Take pizza, for instance: you can make Asian, Greek, Italian, Mediterranean, or Mexican variations. The chart lists a suggested crust for each style, the spread to put on it, toppings, and a cheese to finish it off.
But here's the surprise part: at the beginning of QuickFlip, there's a list of standard items to stock your pantry with. In the recipe, all those ingredients are printed in purple. Any item printed in green needs to go on your shopping list. I don't know about you, but I've always been challenged where shopping lists are concerned. It's hard to make onion soup if I forget to buy the onions. Now, though, with Faughey's easy-to-follow system, I have, as I mentioned earlier, no excuse to bypass these fun, delicious recipes.
Quickflip has a permanent place now, standing on my kitchen counter.

This is easily one of the handiest cookbooks I've ever come across. With one set of cooking instructions and five ingredient variations per page, you could work from one page alone for an entire work-week.

The book is filled with handy hints and tips for preparation. The common sense language approach makes this an easy guide for just about any person.

Extra bonuses include nutritional analysis for each of the meals (great for the calorie counters out there) and a free-standing design.

Only complaint is the light weight cover, but otherwise this is a great little book.

This cookbook was recommended by a dietician. The recipes are simple and easy to follow. Most importantly, the meals are delicious! It makes eating healthier and easier to incorporate into your lifestyle.

I gave my wife a copy of "Quickflip to Delicious Dinners" because I know she's always looking for easy ways to make new meals for the family.

My wife loved it! She raved about how the way the book was set up was so easy to use. She couldn't get over the fact that she didn't have to learn new recipe after new recipe. Instead, all she had to do was learn a recipe once,and just make some minor changes to get a whole new meal. She said it was a wonderful time-saver.

All my wife had to do was look at the ingredients ahead of time, put them on the shopping list for me to buy, and she'd have all she needed for quick, easy recipes perfect for a busy, working mom, who wants to provide
healthy, home-cooked meals.

This is a great cookbook for people who would like to eat meals than are healthier than the typical Standard American Diet. It is also great for those who eat out frequently in restaurants or out of boxes or packages and want to learn to cook. Quickflip approaches healthy cooking and eating in a way that makes it simple to understand the basics of meal preparation. I have read that most people only eat about 15 different meals over and over. With Eileen's book, one can take those few meals and create much more variety and interest. This book has taught me that each culture has much in common in terms of cooking -- same themes but with different ingredients. I would have liked to have seen photos of each dish, but know how hard that can be to do in terms of publishing. There are many great cooking tips in this book, too!

I love to cook and am always looking for cookbooks that offer tips and variety in how to prepare simple, delicious meals. This is a great cookbook that provides for the experienced and novice cook. I would recommend it for anyone who wants variety in their menus and quick preparation.

I made the Spanish Pasta and my husband loved it! I will be trying all the diffent versions, maybe even try tofu (never have before).

My daughter and I have recently begun experimenting with healthy, fun dishes in the kitchen, so this cookbook, "Quickflip to Delicious Dinners" is perfect for us.

We enjoyed the clear instructions, helpful hints and great variety of recipes. There were so many options it was easy to find one that we liked.

The easel stand was a great idea. It was really convenient when cooking. This is an informative cookbook, excellent for both beginning and advanced cooks.

I have been cooking for many years and this cook book is now one of my favorites. It is so easy to use and makes following any recipe simple and clean. If only there were some pockets to slip in my own favorite recipes, this is a great idea. Perfect for someone moving out on their own or a new family. This would make a great gift but be sure to get one for yourself!

I love the Quickflip cookbook. It is a great addition to my
collection of over 50 cookbooks but this one will be used on a much
more consistent basis. So often I go to make a particular meal only
to discover I am out of one key ingredient. The Quickflip shows how
to vary recipes with minor changes and give a completely different
taste. Also, I am a busy professional woman who often needs to pull
together dinner in a short time. These recipes allow me to do that
many times without having to go back to a 'same old' item like hot dogs.

Many thanks for a cookbook that will help me serve quick, easy,
nutritionally sound, and delicious meals.
