Summary: ANOTHER WINNER!!!!!!
Review: As before, I was NOT disappointed Rachael's latest book. Her technique and enthusiasm comes thru clearly, as it does on her show. I LOVE being able to make something in about 30 min.. even if it takes ME 31 min or so (I don't chop as fast)!! BUT!!! being retired does not mean I have more time to spend in the kitchen..if anything I have LESS.. So being able to put together a meal quickly works great for me and my (also retired) husband. THANKS FOR THE LATEST EDITION of your collection of recipes and cooking techniques. WE LOVE your show and watch it all the time. You have an infectious smile... Can't wait for the next cook book ...I AM SURE one is in the works!!!!!

Summary: Not a review - Question
Review: Can someone who has this book (or any other Rachael's books) please tell me whether nutritional info is included for each recipe? It's a deal breaker for me when I buy a cookbook.

Appreciate your help

Summary: RACHAEL RAY for LIFE
Review: I have yet to try one thing in this book that doesn't make you a culinary mastermind! The beautiful thing about this book is that making it once, you are already good at it. Everytime I make something of hers, not only is it so fast and easy to buy ingredients for, but I get constant complements on how great it tastes and looks! Buy it!!! Buy it now. This is definetely the best of all her books.

Summary: Good food but lacking instructions for 30 minute preparation
Review: I like the fact that this book actually groups recipes into meals, which Ms. Ray's first cookbook did not (it was really 30 Minute Recipes, not MEALS). Many menus I recognize from her show, which I enjoy very much. However, part of what makes Rachel's show informative is that she not only discusses the food and recipes, but how to organize in order to prepare the entire menu within 30 minutes. The cookbook gives you 3 recipes per meal, and no other help. An instructional section for each menu would make this book perfect. Something like this: 1) Preheat oven for bisquits. 3) Mix the sausage, pat out, and begin cooking. 3) Open the bisquits, top with blah blah..... But I still do recommend Ms. Ray's books for their simple, accessible recipes that introduce people to new styles of food and cooking that can still be simple and quick.

Summary: Excellent Resource
Review: I love this cookbook. It is simple and delicious. It makes a beginner like me into a Grade A chef with little effort. My family raves about my meals all the time. I can't wait for the next book.

Summary: yummy pork tenderloin...thank you Rachel !!!
Review: I watch The Rachel Ray show and also the $40.00 a day food budget ( on vacation ) Wonderful and very entertaining!!! Browse through a book of hers and came across a pork tenderloin recipe with short ingredient list, purchased pork loin , went home and made it. YES, it was done within 30 minutes ( prep & cooktime ). The wonderful thing about her recipes are the ingredients.It went very well with cous cous & French salad beans w/garlic in olive oil...YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!!! You don't go through hoops just trying to figure out where to obtain the ingredients.Majority of ingredients are found in every kitchen. Her recipes makes life in the kitchen a breeze. We all enjoyed the pork tenderloin. No complaints here!!!

Summary: Just another fluff cookbook
Review: I've bought and taken back every book Rachael Ray has ever wrote because I've yet to find a keeper. Her books just do not measure up to the hype.
I will admit most of her cooking shows are worth a watch, but the books stink in my opinion.
You can get better 30 minute recipe ideas from the internet than you do from her books. The food network channel posts all her recipes from the show anyway so the books are just a waste of money as far as I'm concerned.
