Amazing cookbook!, Nov 2 2011
By Kristin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Robin Takes 5: 500 Recipes, 5 Ingredients or Less, 500 Calories or Less, for 5 Nights/Week at 5:00 PM (Paperback)
500 recipes with 5 ingredients or less and 500 calories or less.... where do I sign up?!? You might think "how can you get a delicious meal when it has so few ingredients?" Well let me tell you... out of the recipes that I have made, I LOVED them! I have made the Pepper Jack Chicken w/ Chipotle Potato Chips (357 calories), Seared Steaks w/ Chipotle Butter (373 calories), Balsamic Glazed Burgers w/ Sauteed Onions & Peppers (428 calories) and my personal favorite Red Potato Salad w/Honey-Basil Vinaigrette (237 calories).Robin Miller has done a fantastic job with this book. Very rarely do I love every recipe that I try from one cookbook. The directions are easy to follow and the ingredients are so simple that they are available at all grocery stores. It is perfect for weeknight meals in that the recipes are all around 30 minutes to an hour to make from start to finish. Honestly, what more would you want in a cookbook?

Practical With a Gourmet Flavor, Nov 1 2011
By Books and Chocolate - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Robin Takes 5: 500 Recipes, 5 Ingredients or Less, 500 Calories or Less, for 5 Nights/Week at 5:00 PM (Paperback)
This is a practical cookbook by Food Network star Robin Miller that boasts 500 recipes with dishes that range from soups, pizzas, and pastas, to chicken, beef, pork, seafood, side dishes, and desserts, and that represent several ethnic cuisines. The appeal of the recipes is that each one uses five or less ingredients and is 500 calories or less. They are quick to prepare and many can be made ahead of time to make mealtime easier.I found several recipes I want to try such as Buffalo Chicken Soup with Blue Cheese Crumbles, Gingerbread Tiramisu, Roasted Vegetable Salad, Pretzel-Crusted Honey Mustard Chicken, Spinach and Smoked Mozzarella Strudel, Beef and Corn Casserole with Pepper Jack Cheese, Baked Chicken with Black Olive Hummus, and Grilled Chicken with Tomato-Olive Salsa. Despite the gourmet-sounding names, the recipes are actually simple and unintimidating. I made the Buffalo Chicken Fingers with Blue Cheese-Chive Dip. It was a big hit with my family and very easy to make. I also enjoyed the Turkey Meat Loaf with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Parmesan as an alternative to the traditional meatloaf I usually make.
In reading through this cookbook, I didn't find any ingredients I couldn't find at my local grocery store which makes it all the more easy to use. There aren't as many photos as I'd like but enough to inspire me to try more of the recipes. This is a cookbook I know I'll use because the recipes are quick and easy, and one I think cooks from beginners to the more experienced will enjoy.
I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher but the opinion of it is my own and was not solicited, nor was a positive review required.

Book was great use it almost daily.Truly simple by limiting number of ingredients. How many times have you seen a recipe with 12 or more ingredients 3 which you both don't have and never heard of?
This is simple, fast, and great tasting.
