Summary: One of the best cookbooks I've ever used
Review: Debbie did a cooking demonstration for an organization I belong to,,, making several items from the book. Everything seemed so simple to make, yet the end results were so awesome! I have made many things from her book and even plan my parties using her book as my guide--listing recipes, page numbers and making shopping lists. I had a farewell party for a friend and made several items from the book and everyone raved... my friends kept questioning whether I really made everything. I finally pulled out my menu list with page numbers along with the cook book to convince them. Since then, at least one friend has purchased the book and told me she too loves it and has made many of the items for family and friends with similar results. Every time I see her, she thanks me again for introducing her to the book! I grew up in a large family and learned to cook "country-style" from my mom and grandmother. This book has introduced me to new ways of cooking, maybe a little more gourmet! Thanks Debbie for making cooking and entertaining fun again!

Summary: You'll want to try every recipe!
Review: I attended a cooking class given by Debbie, and she used several of the recipes from this cookbook. She prepared some of the tastiest dishes I've ever had. The class members were delighted! Her recipes are very easy to follow, don't require complex, hard-to-find ingredients, and are a joy to put together. I've made her "Cha Cha Chicken Salad" twice in one week! I've also been pleased with the "Bacon Tomato Tartlets". Next, I'm trying "Hearts of Palm and Artichoke Crostini" and "Steak Soup". Thank you, Debbie, for a great cookbook!

Review: I received this as a gift from a friend who knew of Debbie Meyer because they live in the same area. It is a fabulous cookbook and one of my most relied-upon resources. There is a recipe for just about every type of food for every type of meal you would want to serve - from brunch to appetizers to any kind of dinner. I have recommended it to others who loved it and I am buying several as gifts this year for the holidays.

Summary: Delicious and inspiring!
Review: Recently Debbie Meyer made a presentation which I attended. I must say that this is the first cookbook that I, myself, have ever purchased. Every other one that I own was a gift or handed down to me. Mrs. Meyer's samples and presentation so inspired me that I, even though I am not particularly fond of cooking, bought the book. Every sample we had was mouth-watering and her demonstrations and instructions in the book were simple to follow and completely within my abilities.
