Great cookbook for RVing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
If you are cooking in a confined space such as a small RV or boat this is a great cookbook. Most RV oriented cookbooks have conventional, uninteresting recipes that rely heavily on processed ingredients, and are not very healthy. This book features gourmet style, but easy to prepare recipes that are healthy and tasty. My RV has a small two-burner stove, and I can make any of these recipes easily. Also nice are the recommendations for side dishes to go with the main courses. Highly recommended!
Quick, delicious, and never boring.

The meals in this book are perfect for two, and you don't need to be Cordon Bleu trained to make them. You can get a good idea about what the product will be before you make it through the fantastic photography and great descriptions. It's full of useful tips for making your day-to-day cooking easier and have better results. If you aren't into spending all day in the kitchen, but want to eat well, this is a must-have.
A Flash in the Pan is one of my favorite cookbooks.

A Flash in the Pan is a great cookbook. There are several things I love about it. The recipes produce delicious results. Two of my favorites are the Tuscan Sausage and Beans and the Red Snapper with Warm Mango Salsa. The recipes, while simple and easy to follow, are really nice for entertaining as well. Recommendations are made as to what to serve as side dishes. You only use one skillet or one pot. I can always prepare a very nice yet quick meal using this book. It's one of my favorites and I have a great selection of cook books!

My favorite cookbook!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
My husband bought this cookbook for me, and of all the cookbooks that we tried, this turned out to be my favorite cookbook that I use the often. Reasons are many -- many dishes look fancy but are often easy to do and taste very fabulous, and they usually don't require hard-to-find ingredients. Another plus is that you don't use a lot of pans and stuff -- you just use the same skillet for everything (though you'll need to transfer some foods to a waiting dish for some recipes).Also, though the cookbook isn't considered low-carb, many recipes are suitable for people who can't eat high carb and friendly to people who follow whole food/paleo diets like we do. Also, thankfully, the cookbook authors don't seem to have hangups about using good fats, such as butter and olive oil.Our favorite recipes are: steak with sherried mushrooms and fennel pork chops with charred lemons. Also fabulous is the lamb with mint-garlic-caper sauce.
