Great cookbook! July 27, 2008
There are so many easy recipes (especially for brunch) that usually take less than 30 minutes to prepare. My favorite are the yummy overnight breakfasts -- I can take 15 minutes to make blueberry french toast before going to bed and then just pop it in the oven when I wake up -- a delicious breakfast that didn't take long to make!! Most of the recipes are designed for moms who have a little one on their hip. You only need one hand to make a delicious meal that doesn't take long from start to finish. You can add little touches to any recipe (or change ingredients to your liking) -- it takes the stress out of cooking when you're pressed for time. Great buy!!
 Nice book for first time parents but not for a gourmet March 29, 2008
I am the mother of 3, and I cook EVERYTHING from scratch. I like the spiral binding. The book is sturdy and the pages stay open. There is a lot of advice in the beginning of the book but I did not find the advice helpful because I've already "been there, done that" and figured it out on my own by making mistakes. The advice may be very helpful to a new mother -- would make a great gift. As far as the recipes go, some are great (Mediterranean Chicken, which is adapted from The Silver Palate) and some are not. There are a lot of short cuts and adaptations from other cook books, which is kind of unoriginal. Some of the recipes I don't get -- there's one for stir fry chicken which consists of buying veggies, chicken and bottled sauce (why buy a cookbook when the recipe is on the back of the veggies package?). And, some of the recipes are not for kids -- my kids wouldn't touch the food. Although this book is good for the one-armed cook, I think that the recipes in my Gourmet (5 Ingredients), Bon Appetit (Keep It Simple, Everynight Cooking), and Rachael Ray books are just as easy and great.
Great Cookbook for All! January 12, 2008

I received this cookbook as a birthday gift over a year ago and it is - by far - the best, most useful cookbook I've ever owned. I was a decent cook (definitely not a chef!) but, over the past year, this book has elevated tremendously my ability to provide delicious meals for my family. My husband even publicly commented about this recently at a party we were attending! I knew I liked the recipes, but I didn't realize that he had noticed so much!
The recipes are wonderful, delicious, and easy to prepare, and even the non-recipe chapters are full of useful information (such as how to stock your pantry). I can't recommend this book highly enough!
Just what a mother of five needed! December 29, 2007

I have raved about this cookbook to my friends. I have several cookbooks but the recipes in this one are actually for meals the children WILL eat! Yay!!!! :) The meals are easy to prepare, simple and delicious! I especially love the sections on planning simple get togethers (with specific menus all spelled out) and the slow cooking section. I use this book several times a week and have to say I finally have more selection for what to make for dinner and I'm enjoying the variety too. BUY IT!
Excellent book December 10, 2007

I bought this book not for a new mother but for a busy mom, I would buy this book again without hesitation for baby showers in the future.
