Desperation Dinners!by Alicia Ross, Beverly Mills
This cookbook has favorite recipes "redone" using up-to-date ingredients which make the recipe much simpler and quicker than the original recipe. It is so easy an idiot could pull off a great meal and surprise everyone at your cooking prowess!! I especially love the shepherd's pie recipe. It is great and quick- what more can you ask for??? You will be thrilled to have this cookbook on your cookbook library. It will make weekday dinners quicker and easier and your family will rave about the taste.

Love this book!
The only down side to this book is that is lacks pictures. I prefer a cookbook with pictures, however, this book makes up for it by having such tantalizing recipes with simple instructions. Perfect for the everyday mom. I love the simple recipes with easy-to-follow instructions. Plus there are excellent tips. I have never had a better minestrone than the "simple minestrone" recipe found in this book. I can't wait to try more of the recipes.

The book is very helpful for busy working moms.
I bought this cookbook, Desperation Dinner!, for my sister who works full time and has three fourteen year olds who keep her chauffeuring most afternoons and evenings. The book suggests items to keep in the pantry and recipes to have a home-cooked dinner in a very short time. My sister and I both thought the book was an excellent addition to her daily repertoire of recipes.

A lifesaver!
I love this book because, with 7 children at home to cook for and numerous activities, I am desperate on most days! The recipes are simple, use ingredients that most people have on hand, budget minded, and delicious. I decided to purchase it for all of those reasons. Finally, a book with realistic recipes for busy families. I ordered 4 more copies for friends and family.
