Product Description |
Even your favorite dinner can lose its appeal when it’s in constant rotation, so mix it up! With her largest collection of recipes yet, Food Network’s indefatigable cook Rachael Ray guarantees you’ll be able to put something fresh and exciting on your dinner table every night for a full year... without a single repeat!
Based on the original 30-Minute Meal cooking classes that started it all, these recipes prove that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every night. Rachael offers dozens of recipes that, once mastered, can become entirely new dishes with just a few ingredient swaps. Learn how to make a Southwestern Pasta Bake and you’ll be able to make a Smoky Chipotle Chili Con Queso Mac the next time. Try your hand at Spring Chicken with Leeks and Peas and you’re all set to turn out a rib-sticking Rice and Chicken Stoup that looks and tastes like an entirely different dish.
As a best-selling cookbook author and host of three top-rated Food Network shows, Rachael Ray believes that both cooking and eating should be fun. Drawing from her own favorite dishes as well as those of her family, friends, and celebrities, she covers the flavor spectrum from Asian to Italian and dozens of delicious stops in between. Best of all, these flavor-packed dishes will satisfy your every craving and renew your taste for cooking. With so many delicious entrees to choose from you’ll never have an excuse for being in a cooking rut again.
How about a brand-new 30-minute dinner every night for an entire year?
Tired of making the same old same old, week after week after week?
With Rachael’s most varied and comprehensive collection of 30-minute recipes ever, you’ll have everyone at your table saying “Yummo!” all year long.
It’s amazing what a half hour can do for your tastebuds … 365 days a year! |

The BEST Everyday Cookbook! |
We have been so pleased with these recipes! Perfect for everyday, and adaptable (with added side dishes and appetizers) for company! We've made about 60% of the recipes so far, and have had one miss (Super Mashpots--- ho-hum) and about 200 HITS!!!!!!!! Try the Mamacello Chicken--- OMG amazing!
An outstanding, easy, fun, DELICIOUS food producing cookbook!
Our first Rachel Ray cookbook, but it won't be our last! |

Very useful for busy families |
What this book has over most cookbooks is that every single page has a complete answer to "What's for dinner tonight?" Many other cookbooks include breakfast foods, desserts, or fancier dishes, or else you need to put together a couple recipes to make a complete meal. With this book you just flip through the pages until something sounds good and you have most of the ingredients, and within an hour, you are eating. Honestly that part is just brilliant and earns five stars even though there are minor problems.
Our family uses this book frequently. Despite what I just wrote, the book works works slightly better if you pick a few of the recipes right before your weekly grocery store trip, so you can get all the ingredients you are missing. Most of the recipes use fresh ingredients, which improves the taste but makes it harder to be 100% spontaneous, it's very rare to just have everything in your pantry and fridge. At the same time, that's why it's harder to do the same thing without this book.
Most of the recipes are good, though some are not. C'est la vie. You sometimes pay the price for not doing any baking, roasting, stewing, or other time-consuming operations, but this is definitely weeknight fare, and it is a major step up if you're in a spaghetti-and-red-sauce rut like we were. I must say the "30 minutes" is kind of a fantasy if you don't have a paid prep cook, but it's always under 60 minutes, which works for me. It's great that all the recipes make the same amount, four servings, so it's just another thing you don't have to think about.
The page numbering is maddening. The index refers to page numbers, which are printed in the tiniest type at the bottom of each page. But your eye can only see the enormous "recipe number" at the top of the page. Since there's about one recipe per page, two numbers are _almost_ the same; just wrong enough to confuse you 100% of the time.
Our trick is to take recipes we like, and then hand-write the big recipe number in the index. Then when you are browsing the index for something to eat, you're eye is drawn to the ones you've already liked, and you can actually find the right page easily. |

don't be fooled by 30 minute meals |
|
The recipes are good but there's too many ingridents so it takes longer than 30 minutes. If you're working and you think this will be easy and fast, it won't. I'm unemployed right now and I find a lot of these recipes too difficult. The recipes are good but they are harder and take longer than 30 minutes. Maybe if you're a gormet cook they'll be easier for you. |

Almost perfect |
|
So far our family has only tried a couple of recipes. Must confess it took me a bit longer than 30 minutes, but both were easy to prepare and very tasty. My only criticism is that the recipes rather routinely call for 2 pounds of meat to serve 4. Half a pound of meat is simply not healthy and I worry that people will get the idea that if Rachael calls for it, it must be a good thing to do. BTW, simply reducing the amount of meat isn't a good solution, since the balance may get wildly thrown off. |
