Cooking Light Superfast Suppers: Speedy Solutions for Dinner Dilemmas Review
This is a great book... we have made about 5 recipes from it so far and most of them have been good, though one was a little bland and I had to doctor it. One thing I like about the book is that most of the recipes give you 4 servings, which is great when you're cooking for two. You have enough for leftovers the next day, but you're not eating leftovers over and over again for a week. There is a whole section of recipes for use with "on hand" ingredients... it gives you a list of 20 or so ingredients to keep on hand and a variety of recipes you can make with those ingredients. Some of the recipes in the book use convenience foods, like Stouffers frozen pot roast dinner, so you have to be careful of the sodium (there's a warning right on the recipe about the sodium content). I substituted Smart Ones pot roast dinners, which didn't make for a cheap recipe, but it was healthier than the other options and easy to make.

Purchase for my daughter, who works fulltime. She has enjoyed these quick, fast, easy recipes. She likes to cook healthy also and feels this is a good cookbook to have in your collections for good easy recipes.
I want to like it - Claire Green -
I want to eat healthy and I want to like this cookbook, but I cannot eat seafood. Even reading about seafood or looking at pictures of it makes my stomache upset and I feel like vomiting. It would be nice to find a healthy cookbook that is not loaded with seafood.
It's Good; Not Sure if "Superfast" is the Word, Though... - Rosie Tomyn - Puyallup, WA USA
I just received this cookbook and was super excited to see some pretty awesome recipes in it. My only question is about the choice of the term "Superfast." To me, a wife that works full time, weekday dinners need to be fast. And, there is a plethora of information out there on fast meals, but most aren't too healthy. I need a combination of both. And, I thought this would be it.
But, I think the term fast means something different to me. These are quick, easy recipes for 7PM on a Monday when I get home. These require a lot of additional prep that I wasn't looking for.
It will be great for weekends when I have more time, but for weekdays, I continue my search. Looking for the holy grail that is the truly healthy, yet quick, weekday cookbook. The search continues! =)
