 Great Book December 26, 2007
This book has excellent recipes for quick easy meals. There are no pictures but recipes are so easy you don't really need them. Also has great soup recipes. I highly recommend.
 This book is not bad August 23, 2007
I like this book, its just what I needed but I wish the author could've provided pictures of the recipes, that would've made it more exciting. Overall, I would recommend this book.
 If you have tons of time, money , effort OR are looking for fresh ideas, this is okay March 8, 2007

I am home all day and have lots and lots of experience in cooking all kinds of foods ranging from easy to very difficult. While the recipes in this are not super difficult, this is not a cookbook for most of us.
Personally, I got this book to make dieting EASIER. I wanted a list of things I can throw together for 3 meals a day, and end up with about 1200 calories no matter which I picked from each meal choice. This book, doesn't do that.
For example, for breakfasts: individual fruit platters with hot popovers (huh?) or Fresh Banana-Oat Bread and vanilla yogurt with sliced fresh peaches. Geez! That is a lot of work for BREAKFAST!
Lunches: Curried Tuna and Pecans in Pita Halves with Ambrosia Fruits. Sure Or Wild Rice-Sausage Chowder with fresh tomato
I mean, I have all day, and I'm not making this for lunch. Dinner, maybe.
Dinner: Snapper on a bed of spinach-cheese sauce, basil baked tomatoes and gingered rice. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
If you want NEW and FRESH recipe ideas, this really is a great book, so I gave it three stars. But for most regular joes, this is not a great book,recipes are too complicated and if it's too much effort to just eat every day, folks will drop their diet and eat pasta and chips instead.

I too thought that this book would be a big help to one person on a diet or with a restricted diet. Maybe if the portion amounts, sizes (e.g., 1 cup or 3 oz.) were added it would be more helpful. As it is all the recipes say for four and so I guess you make the recipe and then measure the entire amount and divide by four to get the portion amounts. There are also no carbohydrates listed. I was disappointed.
Quick & Easy Recipes is very true. January 16, 2007

These recipes for the most part have items you would already have at home. They are simple and very good. My husband and I have enjoyed everything we have cooked. To me, this is a must have if you are trying to either lose weight or just trying to stay healthy. I wish she had more that I could find.
