So far, I've made three meals out of this book. All have been fantastic. I checked the book out of the library and have now ordered one for myself to keep at home. I will continue to try more recipes from this book. Already, the three we tried (mexican lasagna, spicy shrimp and dried fruit pilaf, chicken pesto risotto) are staples on our family menu. I also enjoyed the suggestions at the beginning of the book about making cooking simpler - spending time on Sundays to prep cut veggies for the week, etc. As a busy mother with only basic cooking experience, if I had to live off of one cookbook, this would be it.
Excellent!

This is my favorite cookbook. Most of the recipes have foods from the entire food pyramid so that I don't have to cook separate recipes for a vegetable, grain, or meat for dinner. I also like that the recipes are very interesting - there are Asian, Indian, Italian, Mediterranean, etc. which really give my family a variety in meals and fun to cook also. I would not call this a lowfat cookbook, but there are quite a few recipes that are lowfat and several that you can substitute for low fat.
Great book!

This book has alot of wonderful, tasty, and easy recipes. It has a wide variety of tastes, from not so spicy to very spicy. It has made my life alot easier to come home from work and know that, in most cases, within an hour or so I can have dinner on the table with a minimum of mess.
Great ideas for fast, hearty and wholesome meals.

I was surprised to learn how many interesting dishes could be prepared in one single pot. The preparation and cooking tips were very useful, too.
