Customer Reviews
Nice book- creepy pictures! by R. Strom
So far this is a really nice cookbook. The recipes are simple, and don’t call for too many crazy exotic ingredients. The layout is really handy because the recipes are grouped into menus, so that means I don’t have to go crazy trying figure out what side dishes to serve alongside the main courses. What bugs me, and counts for the lower than five star rating, are all the creepy pictures of Rachael Ray. She looks the Joker! Jack Nickleson’s Joker! Kidding aside, her photographs are outnumbering the food photographs at least two to one. It doesn’t ruin the book for me, but it’s odd to have someone beaming at me from the pages of a cook-book.
A great purchase by Citlali T. Contreras Moreno
First I’ll tell you a little about me. I own a café, took formal studies on Culinary Arts and altough I have only been in business four years (plus the three of my Culinary education) my family is one that has always gathered around a kitchen, for every family reunion. So while I am not a terribly experienced chef, neither am I a complete neophyte at the kitchen range.
That said, I must say that this breezy book was quite a surprise. The recipes in it are good, easy and very clear. It reads almost like a conversation with Rachael, like she is your chum and you are cooking together. I have already tried several of her recipes and they are hehehe Yum-o!
I was a bit intrigued because I read some fairly contratictory reviews to other books by Rachael Ray. I love cooking, but I feel it a bit snobish to dismiss someone’s recipes just because they lack formal chef training. In fact, some of the best cooks I know lack said training, and in the case of this book, I believe Rachael’s practical talent is a plus! Not everybody can go to Culinary school, but almost everybody, in one moment or another, will find him/herself in the position to cook. Here’s where I advice you to get one of Rachael’s books. Especially this one.
Every recipe (unless she warns you beforehand) takes more or less, 30 minutes (unlike some others that say they take that time, but fail to specify that that is only prep time, and then you must bake/broil/boil for say an hour and a half!) and they feel like someone’s tried and true family recipes.
Ingredients… well, living in Mexico, I find some of them a bit hard to find, but they are easily substituted by others like them, and while the result may not be the one expected from the original recipe, they are nonetheless good!
If you are like me, and have little time to cook for yourself (or are exhausted after cooking for others for 12 hours in a row) or just want great tasting food without a terribly lot of work, DO buy this book. I am already getting it as a wedding gift for two of my friends.
Too much Rachel, not enough taste by David
If you want a cookbook with as many pictures of Rachel Ray as recipes, then this is the book for you. Overall it’s okay, but I find the pictures of her smiling out at me on nearly every page excessive. The recipes are okay, but not very detailed on how to prepare them. If you buy this book you’ll quickly need to discover that “evo” is “extra virgin olive oil” to cook anything. This is a great buy for someone obsessed with Rachel Ray, but otherwise go for the “Best 30-minute recipes” from America’s Test Kitchen instead.
Another winning cookbook! by S. Orem
Another great cookbook by Rachael Ray! I highly recommend you add this to your collection.
