review 1: Just having moved beyond the sandwich to truly banging around in the kitchen a year or so ago, this cookbook is just right for me. Not only is the layout fun and inviting, with many color photos and a retro vibe, the recipes look amazing for two key reasons. First, they seem to use fresh and wholesome ingredients to create dishes that just about anyone would enjoy. Second, ...? They look very, very easy. I've been inspired to make my first frittata, sweet pea and onion, and my first ever chili; I'm about to start the chili right now! Not many ingredients and not many instructions. I picked up the fixings for the frittata, chili, and herb-roasted beef with potatoes and carrots yesterday and plan to put my oven to work. I love the idea of making what appear to be "re... moreal" dishes from fresh ingredients with veritable ease! If it's easy, I can do it, even after a busy day at work.
review 2: I love cookbooks that have pictures of all the food, so this book passes the test. It is also a great reminder to go back to the basics. I was reminded that french toast and peanut butter banana open faced sandwiches ARE awesome. However, for those of us who have been cooking and baking a long time, it is hard to appreciate the picture of a toaster with "Toaster" labeled underneath or the intense directions in how to chop an onion. But, for anyone just starting out, this is a fantastic way to learn how to cook yummy, easy to deal with meals. On a snarky side, I could not help but think if this book would have ever made it to the shelves if Mrs.Seinfeld did not have the famous coattails of her husband to ride on. less
