5.0 out of 5 stars Less than 30 minutes until great food!, February 10, 2001

By	"superevie" (Matthews, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews

Comfort Foods, written by Rachael Ray a popular cook book author, chef, and television chef has written a delicious book! I had the pleasure of interviewing Rachael about her book for my family web site families-first.com where we feature all important topics for families- recipes, crafts, education, and health.

Rachael has done an excellent job in providing us, in her book Comfort Foods, a collection of wonderful down-home favorites- meatloaf, mac and cheese, along with spaghetti and meatballs- all can be made before the pizza delivery guy reaches your front steps! It takes only 30 minutes or LESS to make these great dishes! Your whole family will love her recipes- both kids ang big folks!

5.0 out of 5 stars 1st PRIZE WINNER!!, February 3, 2003

By A Customer

This book is great! Personally, I own 3 of Rachael's books and watch her show regularly. I entered a local cooking contest which was on T.V. and I won first prize making Rachael's stuffed chicken with roasted red peppers and garlic herb cheese. If you haven't tried it you really must. After 14 years of cooking for my husband and family this is truly the best chicken I have ever tasted and it is a breeze to make. I love the receipies in this book, they are simple to make, quick to pull together and taste great!

4.0 out of 5 stars TV'S MOST EFFERVESCENT COOK, January 13, 2005

By	Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

Rachael says it straight forward. She is NOT a chef. She's not classically trained in cooking. In other words, she's like 99.9% of the rest of us. RAchael first and foremost is a food lover who has a deep appreciation for how busy all our lives are and how most of us are not concerned with presentation and having a meal that can be photographed for Gourmet magazine.

We want good meals and good tasting meals and we want them Fast. That's What Rachael does in all her books including Comfort Foods, presenting the kinds of recipes that are good, make you feel good, and are easy to make. These recipes feature big, bold flavors in very little time. Best of all, like Rachaels other books, Most of the ingredients are things found right in the cupboard in your own home.

REcipes like Grandpa's Ziti, Swedish Meatballs, even meatloaf and mashed potatos. This is one cookbook that you won't be intimidated by. They're recipes you've made before but with Rachaels great tips for quick preparation. Real food for real people. Good stuff.
