Product Description
In a world that makes ever-increasing demands on people's time, Superfast Suppers is indeed a lifesaver. Innovative recipes with carefully calculated ingredients (never more than 10), and attenuated prep times (not longer than 20 minutes), get cooks in and out of the kitchen in record time to put delicious meals on the table. Clever and always quick, Superfast Suppers will revolutionize your cooking with no loss of nutrition and no compromise in taste. Especially notable are the 20 recipes with less than 10 minutes of prep time, the 10 slow-cooker dinners and the 25 'Deadline Desserts' which require only 15 minutes from beginning to 'yum!' Finally, this book boasts the unique 'Have It Your Way' chapter that lets everyone create their own special meal from one basic item and a plethora of toppings. Any way you slice it, Superfast Suppers is a must-have for today's families on the go.

 Unimpressive October 6, 2008
I was a little let down with this book. Can't put my finger on it but usually I buy a new cookbook and mark about 30 different recipes I can't wait to try and there really wasn't anything here that moved me. Also, for the price and a large, color hardbound book you would expect pictures of everything and they are few and far between. I don't think its worth the money.
 Great recipes that even your kids will like August 14, 2008

I do not consider myself a good cook and pretty much need a recipe to put a meal together. This cookbook has simple, easy to follow recipes. The recipes use everyday items and there is no need to go to a specialty store for ingredients which is nice since I am usually toting 3 kids with me.The meals I have made have been very flavorful. Each recipe has a breakdown of calories, fat, carbs, protein, etc. which is nice for someone tracking their intake.
 A must have cookboook if you are counting calories May 28, 2008

Since starting a new way of life on www.thedailyplate.com, a website that helps determine the amount of calories you need each day to get to the weight you want to be. I refer to this book several days a week because all the calories and nutrients are displayed on every recipe. Plus, I haven't found a recipe we didn't want to make again. Honestly, I'm sad I didn't cook this way years ago.
GREAT Cookbook! March 21, 2008

I LOVE this cookbook!!!!! It was a Christmas gift and ever since we've been having great dinners nearly every night. I don't even want to go out anymore. This book contains easy to make meals in under 30 minutes (with the exception of the chapter on crockpot cooking). What I love about this one is that it plans the entire menu for you, and gives you steps to follow to prepare 2-3 recipes at once. Meals are usually a protein and a side, and sometimes include salads, breads, veggies, etc. And the best part? They're very light.
I've made probably 30-40% of the menus in this cookbook now, cooking them nearly every night. The only down side is the more expensive ingredients (sometimes) and quite frankly the time it takes to find and purchase all of the ingredients in the grocery store. I spend a lot more time in the produce aisle these days.
Two favorite chapters are the section of meals for two people, and the "20 ingredients" chapter, where you keep 20 ingredeints on hand to make each of the 20 recipes. Favorite menus include peppered beef tenderloin with orange-herbed asparagus and crusty french rolls, pan-seared chicken in proscuitto-fig sauce with roasted green beans, caesar-style green salad, and whole grain rolls, chicken piccata with garlic-basil pasta and steamed green beans, and seared chicken with avocado and tortilla chips con queso... yum!!!!!
Excellent for new cooks January 2, 2008

I purchased this for my daughter's birthday. She is trying to eat better while buying local items and still making things she and her SO will enjoy at the end of a hectic workday.
She says this is great. She likes the pictures and suggestions with the recipes.
