Description

Cooking & Food. Nonfiction. HTML: Even your favorite dinner can lose its appeal when it's in constant rotation, so mix it up! With her largest collection of recipes yet, Food Network's indefatigable cook Rachael Ray guarantees you'll be able to put something fresh and exciting on your dinner table every night for a full year... without a single repeat! Based on the original 30-Minute Meal cooking classes that started it all, these recipes prove that you don't have to reinvent the wheel every night. Rachael offers dozens of recipes that, once mastered, can become entirely new dishes with just a few ingredient swaps. Learn how to make a Southwestern Pasta Bake and you'll be able to make a Smoky Chipotle Chili Con Queso Mac the next time. Try your hand at Spring Chicken with Leeks and Peas and you're all set to turn out a rib-sticking Rice and Chicken Stoup that looks and tastes like an entirely different dish. As a best-selling cookbook author and host of three top-rated Food Network shows, Rachael Ray believes that both cooking and eating should be fun. Drawing from her own favorite dishes as well as those of her family, friends, and celebrities, she covers the flavor spectrum from Asian to Italian and dozens of delicious stops in between. Best of all, these flavor-packed dishes will satisfy your every craving and renew your taste for cooking. With so many delicious entrees to choose from you'll never have an excuse for being in a cooking rut again. How about a brand-new 30-minute dinner every night for an entire year? Tired of making the same old same old, week after week after week? With Rachael's most varied and comprehensive collection of 30-minute recipes ever, you'll have everyone at your table saying "Yummo!" all year long. It's amazing what a half hour can do for your tastebuds ... 365 days a year! From the Trade Paperback edition..… (more)

Great book for people who don't have a lot of time and are looking to cook tasty meals that will give plenty of left-overs!

I'm married, work probably on average 55-60 hours a week -- and this cookbook is the only one i use. I by no means have tried each recipe in it and I don't plan to -- but out

of the 365 recipes -- i've probably tried 60 and i rotate between the same 15-20 fairly frequently, throwing a new one in every once in a while.

Also -- unless you're already handy in the kitchen, I'd recommend watching a couple Rachel Ray 30 minute meal episodes first. It used to take me 10 minutes to peel and cut an oinion - now i do it 15 seconds.

Ingredients in green, other info in blue makes it a little hard to read for glasses wearers. I like the check off section (Its a keeper or try this later) and the 'faves' list @ the table of contents. Haven't used much yet.

Rachel Ray's recipes are often quite good, if you have realistic expectations of how long they will take. I found with the recipes in this book that though they all claim to take 30 minutes to cook (or sometimes less), and while I fully believe that Rachel Ray can cook them in that amount of time,

ma lesser-skilled cook such as myself will often take forty-five minutes to an hour to finish one of the dishes.

With that established, I have enjoyed every recipe that I've cooked from the book so far, and I've learned a few new food combinations to use in other cooking as well. This is a valuable addition to our kitchen.

Umm- these recipes are kind of crazy. They looked cheap and not too tasty. I'm not sure I know of anyone who would actually eat this stuff.
