Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When I first moved away from home, my mom gave me a cookbook called "6 Ingredients or Less." Recipes in that book called for a lot of cream of mushroom soup, Russian salad dressing, and dried onion soup mix. OK for dorm living, but not something you'd be happy for company to eat with you. This book, on the other hand, is a marvel. These recipes taste like you studied in France for two years and then spent all day in the kitchen, yet most are quick enough for weeknight dinners. My family loves the Pasta with Pancetta and Peas as well as the Olive Stuffed Chicken with Almonds. I also bought the Gourmet's Weeknight Meals, and I like this book much better. I give this 4 rather than 5 stars because there are several sections that I just don't use--Cool Drinks, Snacks, Starters, Sweets (Campari and Grapefruit Ice Pops? probably not), and an anemic chapter titled Menus. However, the sections I do use were well worth the money.
