I too love this book. I bought it off a bargin rack (a competitor) because I collect cookbooks. To my surprise, I found my self earmarking nearly the entire book. This author provides a variety of selections that are quick, simple and easily prepared. She has a nice chapter on salads from common to ethnic (Muffaletta, Pecan Waldorf, Chinese Chicken, California Cobb, and Buffalo pasta salad, to name a few). Other chapters include soups, sandwiches, casseroles, side dishes and glazes to top a deli-prepared roaster. I've made several of the recipes and have put them into my "keeper" files. I go back to this book time and time again. I'm very happy I purchased it.

Dressing up a rotisserie chicken has never been easier. I made the salsa-stuffed bell peppers with chipotle sauce for friends last weekend. Delicious. And the leftovers held up nicely in the freezer. The chipotle sauce is also a winner with fajitas. The book is quite well written. Instead of just flipping through the recipes, I actually read all the front section about stocking the pantry and cookware. Definitely something to slip into the box for all those June brides.

With our hectic schedules, dinner often falls on me, (the least talented cook in the family). I have made dozens of these easy to follow recipes to rave reviews from my teenage crew with only around 30 minutes prep time. The wide range of recipes --from Indian to Mexican flavors--has allowed me to produce a lot of variety in a household that eats a LOT of chicken. A very practical answer to the "What's for dinner?" dilemma.
