This book is nice for those just starting out on their own or just learning how to cook.

I appreciate the recipes' simplicity and that the book is divided not only according to the different meals but according to different types of meat.

I have made several recipes from this book and think it's very easy to follow and would recommend it to others.

I was happy to see the recipies broken down into real portions for one or two people. There are no leftovers and they have taken the guesswork out of measuring and figuring out those fractions when trying to 'shrink' a recipe.

All of the Taste of Home cookbooks are great! Lots of color pictures, nothing out of the ordenary that you can't find. I love this book with the small sizes. Great meals without a hugh amount of food left over.

I had originally gotten this book out of our local library after purchasing a seasonal magazine published by the same company. After finding WAY too many recipes in this book to type out for myself I figured it was much easier to purchase the book. I have made a total of 5 or 6 different dishes listed in just one week! These recipes seem to consist of most everyday type of ingredients, so one is not looking all over town for some hard to find ingredient.

Even when I would cut a "regular sized" recipe down to half my husband and I were still eating the same meal for several days trying not to waste food. When I would freeze some of the overage, the food never had the same flavor, so this book is great! FINALLY! No more meals for an army! :)

When I have wanted to try a new recipe, I have consistently turned to one of publisher's magazines, and NOW, this recipe book. I highly recommend it!

The Rieman Publication company, which was purchased by Readers Digest, has had a great family of magazines for years. Magazines include, "Quick Cooking", "Taste of Home", "Reminisce", "Country", "Birds & Blooms", "Country Woman", and "Farm and Ranch." I have subscribed or at least seen one issue of each of these magazines and they are very good. Most have about 8-10 recipes in each issue sent in from readers across the U.S.

ENJOY!

This book is very useful & has a lot of great recipes to use when cooking for a few folks at a time. Most recipes use ingredients you usually have in the cupboard & refrigerator!!

Ithink this is a great cookbook for those who have to learn to cook for less people at the dinner table. I gave it as a gift to a lady who was suddenly widowed and said she was living on cereal because she didn't know how to cook for one, and found it depressing. Well the book just gave her the impetus to get cooking something new and fun!

Nice to have a book with recipes appropriate for empty nesters. Illustrations are good, and variety of dishes excellent.

I was looking for just this type of cook book! My husband and I love the recipes for a compelete meal. It makes it so easy for shopping so that then I know what to get for a side, main, and dessert/bread for dinner. I like how it's laid out as well. If there were one thing lacking, I'd like a photo of each thing. I know with so many recipes that isn't always possible. A very good cook book.

This cookbook is perfect for me because I live alone and don't want to cook enough for an army or family. I can eat one serving and freeze the other or have it for a meal the next day. Love this cookbook!

This cook book is the best. Easy to use, easy ingredients, yummy. The meals are perfect sizes. I have always cooked like my mom did for 5 people, and had a lot of left overs that we didn't always finish. This gives you portions that satisfy.
