Even your Man will find this cookbook easy to use to plan a great romantic dinner for two! If Rachael can cook a whole Holiday Meal in 30-60 minutes then, we can do an everyday meal in just the same! I purchased her 365 meals last year and some of the recipes can be cooked and ready to serve in less than 15 minutes! I was surprised! I'm looking forward to getting this book too.
This is one of the 30-minute meal cookbook by Rachael Ray, which means from preparation to chopping to finish cooking, all the meals in this book takes 30 min. Maybe longer for me since I often lacking ingredients. :) The cooking part is easy. Most recipes out there are measured for ~4 person. When I only need to cook for 2 and cut down the ingredients to half portion sugguested, what about the cooking time? Do I lower the oven temparature and shorten the cooking time? Or when I want to make a 4 person recipe into 8, how much more should I add? This book addresses all these questions because it has recipes just for 2, 4, 6, and 8 person. In fact, the book is divided into 4 sections: Meals for 2 (25 meals) Meals for 4 (34 meals) Meals for 6 (22 meals) Meals for 8 (19 meals) Each individual meal has 3-4 courses. The combination for each meal are always good and well balanced. That's Rachael Ray! It's got international flavors. There are 8 pages total color pictures for the meals. It's got full meal, such as brunch, lunch, and dinner. It also has mid-night snacks for night owls. The text and comments are fun to read, too. Not boring at all. Great book! Cooking should be fun and low stress. Happy cooking!Read full review
Since Rachel Ray has made a name for herself, I decided to buy one of her books. Because I live in a rural area, some of the ingredients are hard to find. In addition, alot of the recipes in this book call for alcohol products which I do not keep on hand, much less, know where to purchase! All in all, there are some good recipes that I will try. This will be a great book to give to my daughter who is just starting out with cooking.
Book has great recipes and is full of great ways to cook health and especially when you are always on the go. I cooked for my family and they asked me what restaurant i catered from... No joke! Anyone who has the desire to improve their cooking skills or learn some new recipes... I think you should look into purchasing a copy of Rachael Ray 2,4,6,8. and if you purchase it from Ebay member: bluepacificbooks, it will probably come autographed by Rachael Ray herself.
Racheal Ray is one of the best cookbook writer today. She is the cook in my kitchen almost everyday. Her ingredients are user friendly and the flavor which I crave for is the best. I know her personally and and her recipes are made for today's family she is going to be the replacement of Al Gineburg the 'Mr Food Man' in the simple use recipes. A great gift.
