I too love this book. I bought it off a bargin rack (a competitor) because I collect cookbooks. To my surprise, I found my self earmarking nearly the entire book. This author provides a variety of selections that are quick, simple and easily prepared. She has a nice chapter on salads from common to ethnic (Muffaletta, Pecan Waldorf, Chinese Chicken, California Cobb, and Buffalo pasta salad, to name a few). Other chapters include soups, sandwiches, casseroles, side dishes and glazes to top a deli-prepared roaster. I've made several of the recipes and have put them into my "keeper" files. I go back to this book time and time again. I'm very happy I purchased it.

With our hectic schedules, dinner often falls on me, (the least talented cook in the family). I have made dozens of these easy to follow recipes to rave reviews from my teenage crew with only around 30 minutes prep time. The wide range of recipes --from Indian to Mexican flavors--has allowed me to produce a lot of variety in a household that eats a LOT of chicken. A very practical answer to the "What's for dinner?" dilemma.

Dressing up a rotisserie chicken has never been easier. I made the salsa-stuffed bell peppers with chipotle sauce for friends last weekend. Delicious. And the leftovers held up nicely in the freezer. The chipotle sauce is also a winner with fajitas. The book is quite well written. Instead of just flipping through the recipes, I actually read all the front section about stocking the pantry and cookware. Definitely something to slip into the box for all those June brides.

Quick to make and quick to remember. The few meals I have made my family has enjoyed and asked for more. It's nice to have a cookbook that gives me a head start on what to do with an already cooked chicken. I can change the recipe to fit my family without taking away from the meal. A Must Have for the Kitchen library!

This book is not only great for the recipes, it is great for giving you an idea about variations and substitutions if you don't have something in your pantry. It gives you a limitless list of things your can do in a very short period of time. A must have for the working mom.

I really like this book. It has some very imaginitive ways to use rotisserie/leftover chicken. I have made a few recipies from it and all were successes. All of the recipies seem quick and easy with easy-to-find ingredients. It does not have pictures though. Overall a solid book.

book has lots of recipes...most common sense, I was already doing with my rotisserie chicken....no pictures...I love pictures in a cookbook!

I am tired of using the same old recipes and I'm tired of spending hours in the kitchen. This book offers me a chance to remedy both situations. I still have to cook for my family. I have found several NEW recipes that take half the time! The ones I have tried so far are wonderful. The seller delivered the book within the time frame. The book was new. I am veryyyyyyyy happy with the transaction. Thank you and God Bless you.

In regards to this book, I have to admit that I was disappointed and couldn't wait to be done testing my three recipes so I could move on to another cookbook. The results were mediocre at best, and while I'm all about quick meals that come together in a hurry I also need my food to actually taste good too. The recipes are based entirely on the idea of using frozen and canned vegetables, jarred sauces and dried herbs, all in the name of putting food on the table in record time. But unfortunately much of the flavour and depth that I have grown to love in my food was missing. Needless to say this book will be disappearing from my shelves.
