This cookbook is great for more than just get togethers. It is also perfect for weeknight meals--no matter the occasion. Like all of Rachael Ray's cookbooks, you can cook from cover to cover and not be bored. This one is a little different from her other 30 minute cookbooks in that it is arranged by theme. There are menus for all types of gatherings: movie nights, dinner dates, brunches, sports gatherings and 'smallidays.' None of the recipes are complicated, few use expensive or hard-to-find ingredients. My favorite recipe we have tried from this book is the Mussels in Mexican Beer. I'm not really fond of mussels in general, but this is truly excellent! My only complaint is that this book, like all of her other cookbooks, is a bit skimpy on pictures. There is only 1 small section near the beginning with about 8 pages of photos. I guess this helps keep the price down, but I prefer more pictures so I can see what the finished product is supposed to look like. This is a perfect cookbook to have on hand for busy weeknight meals or anytime friends or family drop by.Read full review
I bought this book for my sister. It is going to be a christmas gift. She is always calling me asking me how to make things. She really has never been that great of a cook. Now she is married and is trying to learn. Rachel Rays book I felt like would be the best gift for her to start with. I watch Rachel on TV all the time and everything she does is pretty simple and looks very yummie. This book has a lot of great things in it and all of it only takes 30 min. to make. That is good because my sister is also kinda lazy and does not want to spend a lot of time cooking. Everything in the book is written clearly and I think the instructions are pretty easy to follow. This would make a great gift for anyone who is trying to learn how to cook and that does not really have a lot of time or does not like to take a lot of time cooking.Read full review
I love this book because of the easy elegant recipies that, I as a disabled widow can make quickly, without getting to tired to enjoy a meal with my my friends. The meals that I've made from this book are very tasty I just love them it makes cooking less of a chore for me. I bought this book because its a Rachael Ray book & I have a lot of confidence in her recipies, and the ingredents she uses are easy to fing in the grocery store
This cookbook reminds me of the robin miller's newlywed cookbook. this is a cookbook I like to call a personal guide to successful gatherings with friends and families. It has all the tips and instructions you need to ace any dinner party or something as simple as a little gathering. It has sections for holidays dinner parties brunch and lunch and so much more. I just love this cookbook. I will always treasure this cookbook and shall never pass it on to anyone else, even though I will recommend others to invest in this book.
I bought this book because I love here personality... And it comes out in all her books... and her recipies... Watch here on the FOOD CHANNEL... She is awesome. If it's not $40.00 a day, or 30 minute meals... or any other program she is on... she is very down to earth... no ghimmicks... no.. BING BANG BOOM... Just Good Fun Food! This book is great for when you are having company over... and you want to dazzle them with a new creation! Thanks, Garry, KCebay.com
