Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals Get Togethers

More fine, quick recipes from one of my favorite cooks. Rachel knows how to reduce a recipe to its basics without compromising the taste. On the day it arrived, we found a recipe that had to be shared -- the Chili Casserole. I look forward to trying most of the others. I go back to Rachel Ray's cookbooks time and again -- many of her recipes have become standards in my cooking. But she can sure multi-task! I rarely do one up in thirty minutes until I have done it several times.

As far as I know the recipient was happy with her gift : o )

As a "non chef" I am always excited when I find a cookbook that has recipes I can follow and which turn out the way they are supposed to. Rachel Ray's recipes do that and more - they are easy, quick and don't usually take a whole lot of ingredients. I have gone from hating cooking to actually looking forward to making her dishes. I have two of her books already, and just ordered a third.

Yes, these recipes can be finished in 30 mins when you are somewhat organised in your kitchen. Yes, recipes are also suitable for get togethers.However, I was not 100% happy with this book for two reasons - one, some of the recipes are not very creative and probably everyone who has lived with flatmates at some point in life has done them...two, photos of presentations would make all the difference in the world...Most of us use more than our sense for taste when cooking and enjoying a meal and that also applies for getting ideas what to cook.

We do family gatherings every week end and my family just loves the dishes that I prepare to bring to the potluck. They all borrow my books for the meals.

Many good recipes but found that there are many that I would not use. She has clever ideas of preparing meals.

Love my Rachael Ray

Love this book and all of it's recipes.

Rachael Ray, doesn't disappoint. American products(e.g. cuts of meat) can be a little tricky to substitute at times, but well worth it. Great book will get a lot of use in our house.

good tips
