I was NOT a cook – until I read this book!,
I read this book when Meg first released it.
To confess, I’ve never been much of a cook. I had no real clue about how to fix good food simply.
I read this ebook cover to cover and could not wait to try the recipes. They were simple to understand and used ingredients that I actually had in my cupboard. Oh my they were heavenly!
This has become my go-to cookbook. If I’m fixing a meal now it either comes from this book or was inspired by it.
If you don’t know much about cooking or don’t even know what you need to stock a kitchen, get this book. It is an essential. You will save money and eat better.
My kid actually LIKES my food now, so consider these recipes “kid-approved.”

|not for me,
I like the author’s thinking and what she says about moving away from gourmet cooking that requires elaborate equipment and exotic ingredients and exhausts the cook. My own cooking has evolved to more simple “peasant” food, love that we’re all heading the same way. But there wasn’t a single recipe in this book that I wanted to try. They’re all way too 50′s Betty Crocker for my taste (or health) with dated recipes like carrot salad and unhealthy ingredients like canned foods and sausages. Gave up scanning them when I saw the recipe for 2 bean salad, with canned beans and the author’s suggestion that you could throw in a can of tuna at the end. Yuck.
This might be good for beginner cooks, since it has simple recipes and any food prepared at home is healthier and more economical than eating out.
Kindle formatting issue-there is a table of contents but you can’t access it by clicking menu, then go to. You have to go back to the cover and scroll a few pages to find it. Cookbooks need an easily accessible table of contents.

|Fabulous,
I really enjoyed this book. The author has started to live a more minimalist lifestyle and shares how she has translated this into the kitchen. Cutting back on kitchen gadgets and just enjoying the process of cooking. Just what I needed to read.
Keep them coming!
