Time to buy this cookbook!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2011

Verified Purchase

I saw this cookbook in a bookstore, and it haunted me that I did not buy it! It took some sleuthing since I could not remember the title or authors, but I managed to locate it online, and I'm so happy I did! Everything about this cook book is excellent! The main format is one I prefer, one recipe per page including a color photo and using a reasonable amount of readily-available ingredients. The authors also add several great features, like recipes to use with the leftovers you generate, and recipes that begin with what you might already have on hand and need to use. While the book seems to be directed to families with younger kids (there is a toddler chapter) my 11 and 13 year old daughters and my husband have enjoyed everything I've prepared from this book so far. And so have I! After all of the positive comments I have made, it must be said that this book stays on my cookbook rack on the counter, I use it weekly, and have yet to taste something that I would not make again. I can highly recommend this wonderful book.I'm just sorry that the magazine which inspired it (Cookie) is no longer being printed, because it must have been terrific too!

Editors of Cookie Magazine put taste and style into family meals

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2010

Verified Purchase

I was a subscriber to Cookie Magazine, and found myself greatly missing it when it was taken out of circulation. One of the sections I missed most was the recipes that showed one ingredient (for instance, ground turkey), and then plotted a graph showing 3 different ways to cook that item, with photos, tips and final pictures of the meal. All on one page! Well, this cookbook brings that back, along with fantastic images of a stocked fridge, pantry and cabinets. This is a cookbook with usable recipes, helpful tips and great ideas to encourage family dining. First on my list to try is the ice-cube-tray sushi and the sesame noodles with extras. And one more thing - it is a feast for the eyes, with killer photographs and detailed ingredient lists.

Very untraditional- not in a good way

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2010

Verified Purchase

I was very disappointed in this book. The pictures are nice and it is easy to read but the recipes are just not what I was hoping for. For example one suggestion for a meal is leftover rice from a Chinese dinner with raw chopped vegetables and a fried egg on top. If I fed that to my family they would not be happy- actually I would not be happy either. There is a chart- pick one from each of 3 columns and it is a meal. Their suggestion was Mozarella sticks corn and edamame- put these together and it is a meal you can"feel good about"- are you kidding? I will go back to my Jamie Oliver book,

I would give this a zillion stars!

This book is incredible. I love the 1 star comments...."leftover rice and veggies with an egg on top? That's not a meal!" Um, yes, actually, it is. It's a traditional Korean dish called bibimbap. And the "feel good about" meals are simply a protein/veggie/carb combo so you don't have to stress if your kiddo is not interested in what you've fixed....there's no "recipe" for feeding your kids cheese sticks for dinner.

This book is about making delicious, simple dinners and actually using that time to connect to your family, not creating a gourmet meal. This book is PRICELESS. It's not traditional american fare....no meat/potatoes/salad/bread dinners because that sort of eating is 1) Bad for you and 2) Time consuming. If that's what you're looking for, find another cookbook. The recipes in Time for Dinner are much more healthy and veggie friendly than some Americans are used to, BUT they are delicious. Buy this book if you want to save time, please your family, eat delicious food and get healthier in the process.

There's good and there's bad.

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2011

When you have as many low rated reviews as you do good reviews you've got to figure there's something wrong with the cookbook. But I purchased this cookbook just for the chapter Strategic Sunday Dinner. It's the same premise as Semi-Homemade Money Saving Meals (Sandra Lee Semi Homemade) meaning you cook some big meal on Sunday and then use the leftovers to transform into other meals for the next 3 days. The goal is to make it to Wednesday.
The first recipe for Sunday is Flank Steak, grilled vegetables, and corn bread. Then you're to turn the flank steak into summer rolls w/dipping sauce, mexican steak & eggs, and then cuban sloppy joes. The excess grilled vegetables then become pasta & bean soup, chicken paprikash, and jambalaya. The corn bread then becomes corn griddle cakes, oven-fried catfish (cornbreading), and then vegetable pakorsas.
I also loved the chapter "8 things to do on the weekend" and it was to make a marinara sauce, boil a pot of beans, roast a chicken, caramelize onions, make a vinaigrette, wash greens, blanch vegetables, mix a chili blend, and freeze ginger garlic and onion ice cubes. I regularly make a crockpot of spaghetti sauce and let it simmer in the crockpot all day to use through the week. This recipe for marinara was good but I would suggest getting Saving Dinner: The Menus, Recipes, and Shopping Lists to Bring Your Family Back to the Table . She has a 40garlic chicken that is awesome and I really liked the sauces she has a little better than this one. But it's all personal taste.
A fair number of the recipes are ethnic inspired. There's avgolemono soup, lamb, coconut chicken curry, borscht soup, buttermilk avocado soup, etc...some of the recipes might be a turnoff to small children. I like trying new things so you be the judge whether your family will eat it.
The pictures are good quality, the pages are glossy so they'll wipe clean, it delivers on what it says.
