Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this book because a) I loved Andrea Chesman's "The Garden-Fresh Vegetable Cookbook," and b) I was writing an article on cooking good meals for busy people. The concept of one-dish suppers and comfort food seemed like a good match.
I have to admit that the book lives up to its title; many of these dishes are similar to ones that my mother might have made: beef stew, chicken and dumplings, mac 'n' cheese with ham and green peas, pot roast with vegetables. There are a few nods to international cuisine, but all in all, I didn't find much in it that was either new or exciting enough to make me want to add the ingredients to my next shopping list. Experienced cooks, and those with adventuresome palates, may not find much of interest in its pages.
On the other hand, it would be a great book for someone new to cooking. Buy it for a niece or nephew going off to college or moving away from home. My copy will go to my daughter, who is just getting interested in learning to cook.
