Sorely Disappointed . .,
This nearly brand new, published just five days ago, book – Delicious and Nutritious “American Mom” Dinner Recipes: Affordable, Easy and Tasty Meals You Will Love (Bestselling “American Mom” Recipes) had so many glowing reviews that barely met the minimum word count that I couldn’t wait to see what all the fuss was about. I’m always up for easy, tasty meals. I was sorely disappointed.
First, apparently nobody bothered to either read through checking for grammatical error or even spell check the book prior to publication. Now I do know from personal experience that no matter how careful you are and how many times you check, some little mistake or other is bound to slip through. “Btu” instead of but shouldn’t be one of them.
That sort of thing tends to lead me to look more closely. When I did I found recipes lifted straight from those freely offered on the Campbell’s Soup recipe site and another lifted almost wholesale from Simply Recipes, including even the original photograph which has been rotated, cropped and shrunk for inclusion in Delicious and Nutritious “American Mom” Dinner Recipes: Affordable, Easy and Tasty Meals You Will Love (Bestselling “American Mom” Recipes). I say “almost” because “American Mom” does make one teeny change in Simply Recipe’s recipe for Arugula and Corn Salad – she uses 2 cans of corn instead of the niblets from the 4 ears of fresh corn specified in the recipe. What a way to spoil expensive arugula!
Not recommended.

|Good recipes, not necessarily practical,
I have been picking up recipe books on my Kindle, and I especially enjoy those that are well organized with a good table of contents. This particular recipe book meets those requirements well. It has a good selection of foods, and while I found an error or two, they were minor, eg. Forgetting to mix the salt in with the paprika and flour in the fried chicken.
But if I had picked this up at a bookstore and thumbed through it, I probably would have passed on it. The recipes include a long list of ingredients, but even more often require long periods of time to cook in several steps. I don’t mind longer cook times in a crock pot, but when recipes call for “firing up your smoker” and take nearly two hours from start to finish, I know I am in over my head.
This is a good collection of recipes, but not particularly easy or practical.

|Great recipes in a convenient package,
I must admit the only reason I got this book was because it featured some of the recipes I wanted to try out. I wasn’t expecting anything revolutionary, because how many ways can you cook an egg, really? I wanted the convenience of having the stuff I wanted in one place, and I got it with this book. A bonus was the interesting trivia about some of the recipes, like the fact that a Caesar’s Salad isn’t supposed to have anchovies (which I don’t like, to be honest). I’ve tried the Mulligan, and it was good, but I don’t think it was really something hoboes would’ve been able to actually make! Nevertheless, a good recipe, and useful book.
