5.0�toiles sur 5 Busy People's Fast & Frugal Cookbook is fantastic!, Nov. 23 2009

Par	Tania Bugnet "book reviewer" (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

I like cooking for my family and friends but, as I am sure many of you will be able to relate to, quite often our time constraints don't allow us to be able to serve gourmet meals, right? Well, that is why Dawn Hall wrote the Busy People's Fast & Frugal Cookbook.

What I love about this cookbook is that the recipes can be prepared in 30 minutes or less. A nutritious, home-cooked meal in 30 minutes or less. Amazing!

The recipes in this cookbook are also of a frugal nature. Therefore you aren't going to break the bank when you go shopping for groceries necessary to make these recipes.

This book is also full of really handy "Helpful Hints" placed along the page borders which I found very useful. I liked how the cookbook was presented - clean, tidy, easy to read. Each recipe also gives you a nutritional break-down along with Diabetic Exchanges (yay!).

I really enjoyed reading through the Busy People's Fast & Frugal Cookbook and I would recommend this cookbook to any "busy people" who are looking to be able to feed the family for less.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Rapid and cheap - the new way of cooking, Oct. 6 2009

Par	Canadianladybug "Canadianladybug" (Ottawa, ON, CANADA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I love cookbooks... And my husband thinks that I have too many of them on my shelf. Is there really such a thing as having too many cookbooks? So when I go the opportunity of getting a new cookbook in exchange of a review, I jumped on the opportunity! *grin*
I am trying to lose weight since the beginning of the year. And to do so I decided to go back to Weight Watchers which I was a lifetime member since my university years. If I was able to do it back then, I could do it again. So I went back to a new plan about counting points in a day (compared of counting the bread, veggies, and so on from back when I used to go...). So to be able to calculate the points, three important pieces of information is needed... I need the Calories per serving, the Total fat and the Fiber. What a joy to see that all that information and much more in included for each recipes.
The cookbook is easy to use and well planned. A chapter contains all the recipes for a specific meal or part of a meal. For example, there is a whole chapter on Soups and Chowders. Each section within a chapter corresponds to the time that it takes to cook the recipe so you would find 10 minutes or less recipes as well as 30 minutes or less. And the pictures that you will find throughout the cookbook are so well done that it makes you want to cook the recipe. Yum! The smoked sausage and Cheddar Egg Bake sounds wonderful for a cold winter morning... However, not all the recipes have their picture included. I particularly like it when I can see a picture of a recipe.
The author has also taken the time to list the supplies needed, the grocery list, as well as helpful hints for each recipes. I also find that some recipes contain ingredients that will be hard to find in Canada. But I'm close enough to the border that I could go do some grocery shopping once in a while in the US. Unfortunately, if I feel like doing one particular recipe - like the Italian Seasoned Scones - I will have to wait until our next trip in the state of New York to get what I can't find here. So patience is needed for me...
HAPPY COOKING!
