Not a bad choice for recipies

This book is OK but not quite what I was looking for.  I wanted somehting with more creative ideas since I just purchased an electric pressure cooker.

I will give this cook book a solid ok.  Of the slow cooker cookbooks I have, it ranks towards the bottom in regards to flavor.

The good about this book:
The recipes in this cook book are well written and fairly easy to follow.  The recipes are well organized in regards to their chapters.  The recipes are EXTREMELY easy and fast to prepare.  I have yet to find a recipe that had a long and difficult prep period.  Most of these came together in under 20 minutes which is a big plus.  After each recipe, she writes a verdict.  The verdicts are entertaining and are often about how her family reacted to the recipe.

The not so good:
None of the recipes have I have tried have been fantastic.  I have tried about 10 recipes from this book and so far, the results have been mixed.  Some recipes have been bland (a tomato quinoa dish was pretty boring), some ok (salsibury steak) and some pretty good (a chicken mole).  The majority of the ones I have tried are around average in regards to flavor. The only one we really really liked was the chicken mole dish.  This is a nutless mole dish that is really pretty simple to put together and had a pretty good taste.

So lots of choices, nothing terrible, nothing spectacular either.

The recipes included do seem to be quick, as advertised, and do not rely completely on mixes and pre-packaged items to get there (some recipes do, many do not). Most include ingredients I wouldn't have around and wouldn't use the leftovers if I bought them just for this recipe. Or things I just don't particularly care for.

I will admit that two of my pet peeves are recipes that are so simple they are only useful for the most novice "cooks", or "fast" because they simply combine pre-packaged pre-prepared ingredients, and while *some* of these recipes fall into either category, it's not the vast majority.

The directions are clearly written and straightforward, the ingredients clearly listed.

Nutritional information included may be fairly complete, or may only show calories and fat, for instance.

Overall, three stars because of all the recipes included, I did not find a single one that interested me enough to try, but that isn't because they are inherently "bad" recipes. The chances that any other reader would find at least a few they wanted to try? I would say pretty good. And if so, they should be easy and quick.

I really like this cookbook, which is full of simple recipes that are illustrated very well, broken down very well, and end up tasting good.

It's not perfect.  To me it doesn't come off as totally authentic, some recipes in particular come off as a Thai-ish version of Chinese favorites (I'm looking at you, fish-fragrant eggplant, although to be fair it's a great dish).  Sometimes I find it a little bland, which is easy to adjust once you have a hang of the recipe.  But it still calls for gulangal, fish sauce, palm sugar, etc., which puts it above a lot of other Thai cook books.

Anyway I learned a variety of easy dishes that I really enjoyed, and learned to appreciate something of the subtleties of cooking Thai from this book.  I'm making my way through it and plan to eventually graduate on to another cookbook which is more involved & more authentic.

Great for cooks who want a nutritious, home
cooked meal for their families but don't have
a whole lot of time to spend on preparing.

I bought several of these knifes in this price range. For the most part the deliver on what they are supposed to do, prepping ingredients for cooking. Just few minor points, to me they are a bit to light to work with, sometimes having to use more force then necessary while prepping food stuffs. Also they do not keep their edge as well as similar knifed that cost quiet a bit more. I believe these make good stater knifes for someone who has just come into cooking and is still learning their prepping, cutting, chopping skills.

Nice pictures, healthy recipes.  Post-it-ed a bunch of recipes I intend to try.  Everything has been tasty so far, although there are a couple of recipes that I would not make again because they did not turn out as in the picture, or they were more labor-intensive than a similar recipe I already use.

This wasn't bad. It just didn't have much in it that would make me want to cook many of the recipes. Others may like it just fine.

I purchased this book because I was looking for easy, yet nutritious recipes.  The ones I have tried so far are really good and easy.  My hesitancy to give this a 5 star is for two reasons.  1)  while I realize the author is trying to be fun it reminds me of a book for a child.  I would have liked something more professional/traditional looking to display in my kitchen.  2)  the recipes are good, but there is quite a bit of "reinventing the wheel" going on.  Many recipes are similar with only a few changes in ingredients.

A good book for the price.  Easy and fast using ingredients that can be found at the common grocery store.

Best part of this cookbook is the listings of foods that are "okay" but red, yellow and green.  The recipes are simple and not time consuming, which is a plus, but not very exciting.

I am able to follow the recipes fairly easily. I could use a few pictures of the finished product to compaire my attempts with but over all fairly nice book.

It was just okay. I didn't find too many recipes inside that I'd use but I did find a couple!

The recipes here are simple. They don't have a great deal of fancy ingredients. The resulting dishes taste good and I'm doing something healthy for my body. Grab your own copy now.

Obviously this is a cook book, so some recipes look great, while others make me want to gag... but it's all about preference.
I'm a huge supporter of Dr. D'Adamo and all his research, so maybe I'm a bit biased... but it's nice to know I have some go-to healthy recipies that don't break the bank.

I have made 6 recipes from this book so far. Two were absolutely delicious (and easy) and will be staples in my repertoire for years to come (Tofu Teriyaki and Pierogies with Creamy Mushroom and Sherry Sauce). Two were okay, but not great (Chicken Marsala and Soba Noodles in Ginger Broth)--when I make them again, I'll tweak the ingredients a little. Two were pretty bad (Honey Pecan Chicken and Eggplant and Tofu with Garlic Sauce).

I rate this book 4 stars because I give it the benefit of the doubt. Many of the recipes seem appetizing and I am hoping the two duds were exceptions. Also, the two recipes that were good were REALLY good so they made up for the price of the book, even with the dud recipes.  I think this is a worthy purchase if you're a busy person and need quick meals for weekday evenings, but just be aware that there are some bad recipes in here.
