Food Network Magazine Great Easy Meals: 250 Fun & Fast Recipes

Borrowed from the library first...took one day before we realized we needed to add this to our cookbook collection. Great ideas for sides and desserts to accompany the quick and easy entrees, useful photo-indexing, complete metric charts, FABULOUS photography throughout, and interesting product picks ("secrets") for enhancing recipes. You'll turn to this again and again; we still haven't put it in the cookbook bookcase(s); it stays out in the kitchen, within easy reach. This is a true "keeper" you won't be disappointed

This cookbook is a must have for every cook. I bought the cookbook for myself, who I consider to be a decent cook, and I bought it for my sister, who is a beginner cook. We both LOVE the book and have made recipes from it that are amazing. We both recommend it to anyone - it really is a great cookbook to have on hand! Can't say enough good things about it!! :)

My girlfriend is a bit of a foodie and I'm not. But she's really enjoyed every meal that I've made from this book!!! And boy are there allot or recipes to choose from!Do I have any caveats about the book? Only one. I think that while instructions are pretty darn simple and clear, you still should be able to tell when something is cooked by the look, smell, and feel of it in order to properly judge when one stage of the cooking process is down and the next can begin.Other than that, this book is a great deal and the recipes should expand type of menus that most at home cooks can prepare.

My wife and I often come home from work late, and tired, but we greatly enjoy dinner together although it's often difficult to go through elaborate preparations. This wonderful cookbook is full of excellent but quickly made recipes that, in our brief experience since receiving the book, work beautifully well. This is a terrific book for people who love good food, but have little time to prepare really tasty weeknight dinners.

I like the most of the recipes I’ve tried. We used this for one of our cookbook club meetings, so I’ve tried several items I didn’t cook myself. My problem is that pages are missing from the book, so a couple of the recipes that I wanted to try were not there. There were pictures of some delicious looking recipes (peanut butter banana mousse or parmesan broccoli for example) which referred you to a different page for the actual recipe, but those pages didn’t exist. So frustrating.

My wife and I were looking for some new cookbooks and have always enjoyed recipes from the food network. This book has a nice variety of recipes for small meals, family meals, and quick meals. The pictures are great for getting an idea of what the final product should look like. The chapters are convenient for finding specific foods and so far most of the recipes have been straight forward, nothing too difficult to follow. The recipes also allow for easy substitutions especially when they call for an expensive ingredient. We have enjoyed more recipes than recipes we didn't care for and it has given us some new go to meals that we love. Overall we are satisfied with this book and would recommend to anyone looking for new recipes.

You don't need to know much about cooking to use the book. The editors of "Great Easy Meals" are teaching you what the title says, 'You can do this.' There is not one recipe in this book that a home cook will have trouble with. Just buy the ingredients and get cooking. There are numerous spreads that give you the basics, then let you mix and match. It's great, practical help.Note: (c)2011 by Scripps Media, New York, NY.
