5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Cookbook, October 14, 2008

I got this book as an impulse buy after I found a Le Creuset on deep discount and didn't know what to make in it. I have tried most of the recipes and all have been good. Recipes from this book now make up about a fourth of our weeknight rotation. We love the Gumbo, Halibut with Leeks and Tomatoes, Spiced Chicken and Rice, and Baked Sausages and Beans.

4.0 out of 5 stars My fault for buying the wrong book, April 17, 2009

This review is from: Williams-Sonoma: One Pot: Food Made Fast (Hardcover)

The pictures are gorgeous and the instructions are clear and straightforward. The 'one page per recipe' approach and overall clean layout make this book easy to use in the kitchen.

Having said that, I mistakenly made the assumption that it was geared towards dutch ovens (it's not) and that the end result would be a complete meal (only a small subset of the recipes qualify for this). I do not fault the author or publisher in the least as it is my fault for not bothering to click the "look inside" link.

I purchased Glorious One-Pot Meals: A Revolutionary New Quick and Healthy Approach to Dutch-Oven Cooking at the same time and am happy to say it meets the criteria of "one pot meals".

I don't want to discourage anyone, this is probably a great cookbook, but it's not what I was looking for.

1.0 out of 5 stars The title is a misnomer, April 26, 2009

This review is from: Williams-Sonoma: One Pot: Food Made Fast (Hardcover)

I recently bought a Le Creuset dutch oven and bought this book hoping for recipes. Most of these recipes are not "one pot" recipes, but actually require pans, many requiring an oven-safe frying pan. I was very disappointed since only a few of the recipes are actually for pots or dutch ovens. I do not think this book should come up on an Amazon dutch oven search.
