Being a mother and grandmother and running a busy household, I don't always have hours to spend in my kitchen preparing meals for my family.
When it comes to purchasing cookbooks, I look for versatile books that have easy to understand recipes with common easy to find ingredients. A big plus for me is if they don't take a lot of time to make!
One of my favorite cookbooks is called Simply Quick and Easy Recipes published by Parragon Publishing, first published in 2001. This cookbook was published in the UK, but is easily available here in the United States, matter of fact, I purchased mine at a local bookstore back in 2002.
If you are trying to locate this item, here is the ISBN number to make it easier, which is 1-84273-218-8.
This hardbound book contains over 180 quick and easy recipes that even the beginner can master. All of the recipes are illustrated in easy to understand cooking terms.
The book is divided into 5 chapters plus the introduction and index sections. You will find recipes for: Soups and Appetizers, Light Meals and Salads, Meat and Poultry, Fish and Seafood and a beautiful Desserts chapter.
Each recipe in the book will tell you how many people it will serve, an ingredients list, directions on how to make the recipe along with a few serving suggestions. I really enjoy the "Cook's Tips" that are sprinkled through out the book.
If you appreciate great photography in your books, you will really enjoy this one. The photographs are enough to wet your appetite before you even look at the ingredients list.
This is a very comprehensive 384 page book with quick and easy to prepare recipes, that you can make for your family on any given day of the week. I recommend this book to both new and well-seasoned cooks.
