Summary: Dinner On Time: A "must have" for the busy entertainer
Review: Dinner On Time is a "must have" book for people who have busy lives, but enjoy entertaining. While the cookbook is centered around holidays, I have mixed and matched recipes to create dinner parties any time of the year. The recipes are easy to follow, and the shopping lists and time tables further simplify the entertaining process. I have also discovered that I spend less money grocery shopping, because I am buying exactly what I need, and not adding unecessary items, or buying too much.

Summary: more than a cookbook
Review: DinnerOntime has great recipes but it includes so much more! The book really tells the reader how to put together a meal and gives realisic time frames for preparations as well as cooking times. The decorating hints are practical and inexpensive and the shopping hints are great. This is a book for new cooks and oldtimers, something for everyone. It will make all the special holidays more enjoyable for the hostess. There are even suggestions to be sure to make enough to have leftovers for the "day after", a great way to give us all more time for fun.

Summary: DinnerOnTime
Review: I have read this cookbook and find so many helpful ideas in it. I used the Thanksgiving section this past holiday season and for once my Thanksgiving dinner (for 24 people) was served on time--not the usual hour late! Many thanks to Janne for her organizational skills and wonderful writing style--so easy to read and follow!

Summary: Making Dinner Simple
Review: I really liked this cookbook because it was easy to follow and full of common sense things to prepare. It focuses on the types of food that normal people will enjoy and does not require you to be an "expert" cook. The directions are clear and logical in the way they are discussed. I also liked the layout and the way the book is bound. You can lay this out on the counter and since its spiral bound it will lay flat on whatever section you're following without you having to put something on top of it like you do with the hardcover cookbooks. Very thoughtful idea.

This book outlines every detail, from what you should buy to when you should buy it to how and when you should prepare it so everything is on the table at the same time. And the food was delicious! Everyone asked me for recipes...I had to confess that my secret was this easy-to-use book!

Review: Not only are the recipes in this book fun to cook, they are also easy to prepare and a sure hit with guests. I tried several of the appetizers as well as the Buffet Dinner for twenty-five during the holidays and got rave reviews! Janne's writing style and hints are so helpful for the cook who's facing a time crunch. I found it extremely easy to refer to the shopping list provided and use it as a guide for my online shopping!
