Reader Reviews
I own two cookbooks in the "Busy People" series, and both of them are well-thumbed and often-used. I'm a bachelor with limited cooking skills (and with even less patience when it comes to kitchen chores), but this book offers simple, easy recipes that can be quickly prepared with very few ingredients. The directions are concise, and each recipe is printed on a separate page with a graphic that clearly gives preparation and cooking time. Nutritional information for each dish is also listed. The recipes are generally low in fat, but they don't have the long-as-your-arm list of exotic ingredients and spices that I find in many low-fat cookbooks. Of course some of the recipes are better than others, but almost everything I've tried has been very good. There's nothing fancy here: if you want to impress someone with a virtuoso kitchen performance, there may be better collections. For plain ol' weeknight cooking that's healthy, fast, and inexpensive, this book is a worthy standby.
