Great basic cookbook for a small household

5 / 5
I've been using this cookbook for a few weeks, and pretty much every recipe I pull from it has tasted great. The methods are easy, the author explains everything well, and also notes nutrition information for every dish. The only problems I've had with it are sometimes it seems the servings are very large, and I've also had to up the flavor on a few of the recipes (double the spices, add extra garlic, etc.) I would recommend this book to anyone who lives by themselves or with one or two other people.
Excellent!

I love this book! The proportions are just right for my husband and myself...no leftovers (unless I want to make that much). The health information is there, and the things I have made from it so far have been terrific! The potato salad is great, as is the potato-leek soup... I am enjoying making something new from it every few days...
Absolutely Fabulous!!

For years I have been tired of using recipes sized for 4 or 8-11 people, then get so tired of the food I've cooked that I never want to make the recipe again.This book is one of the best cookbooks I have ever invested in. It's a relief not to have to eat leftovers for the rest of the week and not to be afraid to go to the grocery store afraid I'll overspend. Great tasting recipes you'll never tire of, as there is hardly any leftovers. They're all easy to make. I use this book every week and for entertaining. My blood sugar has returned to normal (along with my budget)- and it's so concise and meals so tasty, that you want to include them over and over again. Now I eat much more fish and vegetables and have tried new and varied ways of cooking. The pan-fried catfish and Maryland crabcakes are the bomb. I've learned to poach chicken. Can't wait to get to the ground turkey section. You can't miss with this cookbook.
