5.0 out of 5 stars An Answer to the Cooking Blues, March 24, 2000

By	Ayn "badbaker" (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews

I have all of Holly Clegg's cookbooks and I think that "Meals On The Move" is my all time favorite. I am not the best cook and I never seem to have enough time. Everything I have made out of this book has been great....even my husbund has commented on it! I highly recommend it. If it works for me, it will work for anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars In a Hurry? Here's a cookbook for your lifestyle, October 7, 2002

By	Harold McFarland (Florida) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

"Meals on the Move: Rush Hour Recipes" is sure to delight the tastebuds of anyone who tries the recipes. And the best part is that they are not only delicious but can be created in thirty minutes or less. The American Institute for Cancer Research was consulted on the preparation of the meals and many of the recipes designed to include extra fruits and vegetables. Quick, nutritious, healthy, tasty; what more could you ask for from a recipe book?
The front of the book has "Mix and Match Menus". For several given categories of menu types (Italian, Casual, Greek, Mexican, etc.) there are suggested Starters, Main Dishes, Sides, Salads & Breads, and Desserts so it is easy to plan a complete meal of complementary dishes easily.
Extras include a comb style binding so the book will lie flat when used, notation for several recipes on how to alter the recipe to make it even more healthy, nutritional facts, and Tips and Tricks.
Some absolutely fantastic choices include Spinach and Tomato Crustless Quiche, Mushroom Barley soup, and Potato Pizza (an excellent heat and eat breakfast too if any is left over).
A fantastic recipe book that should be in everyone's kitchen in today's hectic world. A highly recommended buy.
