Book Reviews of Food Made Fast: Weeknight (Williams-Sonoma)
Book Review: Good for the cook who WANTS to cook from scratch quickly
Summary: 5 Stars
I have bought other cookbooks before where the recipes call for ingredients that are already processed. This IS NOT THAT BOOK! This book is absolutely perfect for the person who wants to know exactly what goes into their food. This book is for people who want to have fully nutritious, well balanced meals on a daily basis without spending three hours a night making dinner. Lastly, this book is for people who are perhaps a bit more adventurous with their palate.
There are some really great tips, like roasting 2 chickens on the weekend and using the leftover chicken in three different recipes throughout the week. Meal planning takes a little work, this book makes it a little easier.
I also want to add that the recipes in this book are very diverse, from Thai Chicken Curry, to Moroccan Lamb Burgers. The combinations are creative and will keep your palate pleasantly surprised on a regular basis. So for those who prefer processed food or don't like to venture out beyond mac n cheese, or if you prefer iceberg lettuce to arugula, I suggest you find a different cookbook.
I LOVE this book, I am still working through the recipes but so far so good. I must say that I for one find it a relief from the pressure of meal planning. I can simply flip through, find a few recipes that look appealing, add the ingredients to my weekly shopping list, and we are set for the week. Another thing I like is that the ingredients lists are budget friendly. I don't have to go out and buy a dozen expensive ingredients for each meal because many of the meals use similar ingredients (caveat: I do already have a rather well stocked kitchen). Cooking was starting to feel more like a mundane chore, this book made cooking fun again for me. I LOVE it!
