4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Cookbook!, September 6, 2006

First off, this cookbook's presentation is simply beautiful. There are many wonderful photographs of the finished product (something most freezer cookbooks lack). The one issue I have with this cookbook is that the directions are only given for 1 meal. Dream Dinners gives directions for one and three meals and Don't Panic, Dinner's in the Freezer gives one meal, three meals and nine meals. Having the ingredients already ratioed for larger bulk cooking meals (which is really a basis of freezer cooking for me) is a nice addition and sorely missed in this book. There is a nice selection of meals to choose from in this cookbook. There are not repetitive of the books already out there. Don't Panic, Dinner's in the Freezer is still my fave but this is a welcome addition to my kitchen even though I will have to write double and triple calculations in the margins

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what it promises., July 4, 2007

I was a disappointed. This is not a book of the recipes Super Suppers offers in their kitchens. Almost NONE of these recipes are the ones you'd find in their storefronts. And it's not really even an assemble-and-freeze cookbook. MANY of the recipes in this books are not appropriate for assembling ahead. There's a whole chapter on SALADS, for heaven's sake, none of which can be frozen ahead, of course. Why do we even need a chapter on salads? It felt like filler to me. And the same with the chapter on vegetables -- ONE recipe can be assembled and frozen ahead.

And even the sections on entrees don't give nearly the number of recipes you'd expect. Of 28 recipes for beef, for instance, only 14 are what I would call assemble-and-freeze. The others either are not for doing ahead at all, or they're meals that are cooked completely to be frozen and then reheated.

And as I was paging through it just now counting how many recipes really fall into the category I was expecting, the book is starting to fall apart at the binding.

That said, there are some recipes that are good. There just aren't anywhere near enough of them to fulfill the book's promise.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unhealthy!, November 10, 2006

All the recipes use campbells soup, stove top stuffing or some other processed food as a main ingredient. Some recipes call for crushed fritos and chips. Why go to the hassle of making dinners like these when you can just stop at a fast food resturant!? I've gone to Super Suppers and actually created meals and i found them to be less proccessed (at least i assumed so). I was hoping to find recipes that i actually made there. Only a few are in the book. Recipes are very simple - campbells soup, white rice and chicken. Or pork chops, rosemary and salt. Very simplistic and unoriginal.
