9.30.2016 - One to Five













Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this cookbook.

I love cookbooks - can sit and read them like a novel!  This one was great and definitely lived up to the title.  Rachael Ray wrote the foreword so you know it's a good book.

This is a great concept - take one recipe for a food...say a pot roast.  Then he gives you 5 more recipes to make that use the pot roast.  Genius!  Plus, this is not one of those "have to run to the store for some weird ingredient" cookbooks.  This uses things you probably already have in your house. Plus, he gives you great tips on essentials for your pantry and refrigerator.  I've already bookmarked lots of recipes. 

This is just personal preference, but I love when cookbooks have nutrition info for their recipes.  I knew going into this book that since it uses some processed foods (like canned biscuits) it probably wasn't uber-healthy but I still enjoy the nutrition info.

Bravo to the chef!  Families short on time as well as those just starting to cook will love this book!
