Got this cook book for a friend off a wish list and looked through it myself before giving it away. Fabulous recipes!

Great cookbook for fairly new cooks and after-work meals. My recent-college-grad son and I have enjoyed testing the recipes together and he has become a confident "chef." Recipes vary, but the best are tasty, healthy and present as if they took much more effort (although 30 minutes is a bit optimistic). Favorites: Sesame-crusted salmon and turkey with garlic-mushroom-cream sauce.

I really like this cookbook, because of the format with the shopping list and how to prepare it in the most time concise manner. The recipes don't have pictures which I would of liked. Some of the recipes are a little bland but you could spice them up a little on your own. But for a 20 minute meal this book goes a long way.

Short on time AND flavor

I couldn't believe that the other reviews for this book were so positive. Minutemeals is a good book for those who are only looking to top frozen meals and canned soup, not for people who truly enjoy cooking. I tried the manicotti and the chicken chasseur. They were unpleasant and REALLY tasted like they took 20 minutes to make. I pretty much gave up on the book after that. Why not spend a little more time and cook something with some real depth and flavor?
This is also a very bad choice for anyone on a budget. 20 minutes comes at a cost: the recipes call for all sorts of pre-made items ("dessert included" often translates into "buy a pre-made cake")
Not exactly a celebration of good, fresh food. And I'm a college student with a budding interest in cooking, no Julia Childs. Invest in quality of life, not this book. I wish I had.

The easiest and best-tasting cookbook I have EVER used!

This cookbook has helped me cook meals the way I have always dreamed of (seriously!): absolutely delicious and EASY to prepare and cook...this is from someone who was never taught how to cook anything other than boiling water for pasta and/or scrambling eggs. Now I'm cooking recipes like "roasted pork medallions with balsamic-honey glaze", "scallops provencale" (restaurant quality...reminds me of a dish from a very well known restaurant in Houston), "saucy mini meat cakes (delicious little personal sized meat loafs), and "salmon teriyaki" just to name a few. I actually look forward to cooking now...especially since my husband and daughter are thrilled. I am going to buy lots of these cookbooks as gifts!
