Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Food columnist Vollstedt's latest entry in her Big Book cookbook series (Casseroles, Breakfast, Potluck, Soups & Stews) is invaluable, as it contains an enormous assortment of easy-to-follow recipes that make putting dinner on the table a stress-free and even enjoyable experience. The "casual, lighter, and fun suppers for family" run the gamut from traditional (e.g., Hamburger Stroganoff, Chicken Florentine, Linguine with Clam Sauce, Bread Pudding) to modern (e.g., Salmon Chowder; Lamb and Turkey Loaf with Cranberry-Horseradish Relish; Egg, Ham, and Chile Strata; Smashed Potatoes with Blue Cheese and Chives). Many of the sweets in the book are light and incorporate a variety of popular fruits available year-round (some are heirloom recipes from the author's family). All can be prepared with a minimum of time and effort, and many call for common pantry ingredients. Introductions to each section (and there are 15, including main course salads, pasta, soups, stir-fries and grilling) are brief, informative and friendly, welcoming any level of cook, beginners included.

EASY indeeeeed,
This review is from: The Big Book Of Easy Suppers: 270 Delicious Recipes for Casual Everyday Cooking (Paperback)
I recommend this book to anyone who feels they are a beginner in the kitchen and who want easy,simple, and healthy meal ideas. These recipes are very simple and easy to follow, plus the ingredients lists are never too long, complicated or overwhelming. The book is organized in simple sections, which make finding a recipe a snap. Plus there are tons of other recipies for appetizers and desserts. My parents gave this book to my sister and me when we lived together and started cooking on our own. We used recipes from this book almost every supper! Hope you enjoy this book :)

Too busy to cook? Not with the aid of Big Book Of Easy Suppers: 270 Delicious Recipes For Casual Everyday Dining, packing in almost three hundred recipes which rely on a degree of processed foods paired with appropriate fresh foods for quick production. From entrees and side dishes to dessert, tips include how far ahead the dish can be made, insights on what will make flavors blend better, and advise on what makes the dish bake up better. No color photos, but the very simple directions and recipes don't need 'em

Bringing back supper,
By Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Big Book Of Easy Suppers: 270 Delicious Recipes for Casual Everyday Cooking (Paperback)
This book is Vollstedt's effort to bring back the tradition of lighter suppers in the evening following the heavier dinner earlier in the day. This is how my mother-in-law cooks during holidays and I like this approach because you don't have a heavy feeling late in the day.The recipes are easy to understand and follow and not intimidating at all, she took the term easy seriously when putting this book together. Easy does not mean boring or monotonous her recipes cover a wide variety of foods including soups, salads, sandwiches meat, poultry, eggs seafood and fish, pasta, vegetables, pizza stir-fries, grilling and desserts. Two categories salads, and pasta grains and legumes have both a chapter for main dishes and one for side dishes. Although the focus is easy recipes there is a wide variety to choose from and it would be hard to pick up this cookbook and walk away without some ideas for a good and tasty supper. 27 of 29 people found the following review helpful

Change title to Big Book of Good Suppers,
By walkinggirl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Big Book Of Easy Suppers: 270 Delicious Recipes for Casual Everyday Cooking (Paperback)
This is an excellent book full of simple yet delicious recipes. My mom has other cookbooks by the author and really enjoyed them. Then she stumbled across this one and after I flipped through it, I picked up one for myself. There recipes are very basic and easy to follow and call for normal ingredients. Nothing exotic or specialized. Even my meat and potatoes husband enjoys what I have cooked out of this book.
