5 out of 5 stars A VERY SIMPLE COOKBOOK   June 17, 2008
This is a very simple cookbook with mostly very simple recipes. I don't like time-consuming recipes, so I love this book. Most of the ingredients are stuff you will have already in your pantry. It also has a lot of interesting information about cooking in general.

Bought for newly divorced son who needs some help in the kitchen.
We both liked this and I will buy one for myself. Easy reading and
cooking!!



2 out of 5 stars A disappointment   October 17, 2007
I thought the Cake Mix Doctor by this author was just great. How could this book be such a dud? I was very disappointed.

I love to read cookbooks. Usually, that's all I do with them, thumb through them and set them aside, maybe making one or two of the recipes. When I got this cookbook, I took it to my son's football game and read it during timeouts, etc. Not only was it a good read, but the recipes are perfect for a family on the go who needs ideas here and there for something different. I'm also a cook who isn't afraid to try new things, so some of the recipes give me good ideas and I can adjust them to my family's taste.

One of my favorite sections is the appetizers. Our family attends many family social events, and there are several good appetizer recipes that are good to take to parties and get togethers.

I think some reviewers are a little harsh in their judgment of this book. If you want a cookbook that has recipes where the ingredients are all from scratch and are low in sodium, calories, fat, etc. then a book from the Dinner Doctor obviously isn't going to be for you! But, if you want a book that will give you a several easy, quick, friend- & family-friendly ideas for use every now and then, then this is the book for you.

This lady can make a meal out of a mess!! She has wonderful ideas to throw together a good dinner, usually just by using the stuff around the house. Tastes like gourmet food. Gave me some new ideas for dinner, what every mother needs to spice up the dinner table. Easy, tasty recipes. Worth purchasing.
