Jenny's Country Kitchen: Recipes for Making Homemade a Little Easier

Summary: A cookbook that you'll actually use? This one's good!
Review: The title of this book is right on: if you like homemade taste without as much work, you'll enjoy this cookbook. There are make-ahead mixes, freezer and crockpot recipes, and helpful color-coding of recipes. Our family enjoyed making the banana bread recipe, which also encourages readers to make a double batch (4 loaves) and wrap'n'freeze the extra loaves for convenience later. (Yes, we baked two loaves and now wish we had made more.) Jenny's recipes are pantry-friendly and do not require exotic or specialty ingredients. Even so, I will definitely try her suggestion to make our own vanilla with a real bean infused in alcohol. The artwork adds a charming touch throughout the book and makes it feel like a book you can sit back, browse and enjoy. This book would make a nice gift as well.
