Reviews


"So far I've made the microwave roux, which I was DELIGHTED to make and use since it is relatively about 15 times faster than making it in a pan for me, and I've made Grillades (pronounced gree-ahds), with the roux, delicious!! And the Lazy Betty recipe (made my own cake mix though, since I didn't have one) that is super-simple mixture of canned pie filling and cake mix. Looking forward to making sausage rolls and I'm sure I'll find more good recipes as I use this book over time. I like the blurbs in the back of the book, describing the multitude of cookbooks the recipes came from, too, may buy some of them eventually; many I'd never heard of."
--StillLife


"Book has some great recipes - as all do, but in this series, if you are repetedly liking those pulled from a certain other cookbook or two, they are easily referenced for you to find and use that books full repetoire. I feel like the amount of time spent cooking and eating the food generated by this book is all worth while. But be cautious with where you start when you open it up as it will suck you in and you may lose track of what you went in there looking for ..." --Robert A. Richmond
