Welcome back, appetizers !,
By Karen Stash (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Idiot Guide To 20 Minute Meals (Paperback)
Many of us fall into the habit of either not making appetizers or making the same appetizers over and over. But with Tod Dimmick's book, that no longer has to be the case. He reminds us that the simple appetizers, as well as the more complex, are within our reach. I was reminded of many of those wonderful combinations - salty prosciutto mixed with cool, slightly sweet melon or rich, creamy blue cheese mixed with pears. Welcome back, appetizers. It's good to see you again.

Exactly what I wanted,
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Idiot Guide To 20 Minute Meals (Paperback)
Tod clearly is no dummy when it comes to making tasty and nutritious meals for a busy family. While I am not a novice in the kitchen, many nights I am not in the mood to make elaborate meals. However, I still desire to have something beyond the basic. Tod's book fits that bill perfectly. Its emphasis on fresh ingredients and influences from many cuisines makes it the perfect book for the sophisticated palate that either lacks the hours or the inclination to spend their time in the kitchen. The layout is easy to comprehend, and the explanations of ingredients, tools and methods for less advanced cooks is concise but thorough. Finally, his categorizations make sense and lend the air of a comprehensive text. Overall a great basic cookbook.

Good food, easy to use,
By Riley of OC (Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Idiot Guide To 20 Minute Meals (Paperback)
My husband gave me this book for Christmas. It was a struggle to pry it out of my sisters-in-law hands when it was time for us to head home from the holidays. Tod Dimmick writes in an easy-to-read conversational manner about easy-to-make recipes. I cooked veal scallopini for the first time in my life using Tod's recipe. Given the straightforward directions, I whipped up this dish in 13 minutes while my husband threw together a spinach salad and the rolls baked in the oven. The dinner was everything Tod promises: fast, easy and delicious. I'm looking forward to making many of the other dishes. This book fast becoming a staple in my cookbook collection.
