I love Rachael Ray on TV, but just like the 30 min meals cookbook I received as a gift, this on is impractical for a family with small children. The recipes say cook great meals with things you keep in your kitchen, I don't keep white wine in my kitchen, or fresh herbs, because I do not drink, and fresh herbs go bad quicker than the ones in the jars. I made the Apple Chicken recipe out of this cookbook, it tasted awful,.. my husband is so picky about his food and he wouldn't even try it. So if you are someone who is not on a budget when it comes to your money and your groceries, like I am, then maybe this is for you. But it's not for me. I have two small children and am going to go back to chicken nuggets, carrot sticks, peanut butter and jelly and macaroni and cheese. I am just glad I didn't pay full price. Good LuckRead full review
I bought this book about 3 weeks ago. I really like the book, I am a Racheal Ray fan. What I like about the book is that it is food that I would cook for my own family. Simple ingredients, and fast cooking time. I like the pointers on the side that tells you what you might need from the store and what you should already have on hand. Also that the recipe is on two pages so it is easy to follow when you are looking back and forth. I also like the way that when you read it , it sounds just like her talking to you. YUMMO. Very Racheal. The thing I don't like about the book is that it is a soft cover. But all Racheal's books are soft cover. I own two of her books and have tried many recipes, and have loved them all. If you want to try fast and easy recipes, that taste great, this is a book for you.Read full review
I originally brought the book because I'm a huge fan of Rachel Ray's 30-minute meals TV show. The book is great! She tells you EVERYTHING you need to know on how to prepare the dishes. The only thing that I dislike about the book, and it's just personal likes and dislikes, is that there are more recipes in there that I'd never try simply because it's not within my usual forte of dishes.
I have watched the show and thought I'd be interested in the book and I was wrong. The book you need a lot of the items on hand and stored in the fridge. Plus most of the recipes called for food that my family didn't or wouldn't eat. I'd recommend that you tried to view the recipes beforehand if you can before buying it. If your family doesn't like most of the ingredients that are used than don't buy this book. I wished it had more pictures in it to be able to see the full effect of the item being made. I believe most of the recipes needed the main ingredients though so I wouldn't suggest replaceing them with another.
