I love cooking and baking, and own hundreds of cookbooks.  But after many years of elaborate meals, I've been looking for shortcuts to things I love to make.  I will say first that the big drawback to this cookbook is that there are very few pictures of items - you pretty much have to decide what it will look like yourself.  There are a few pictures, but like others have mentioned, pictures of the completed dishes would be nice to see.

Saying that, I found that the recipes included do indeed sound tasty.  Many of the dishes, though, are not for the calorie-conscious, and use high-fat items such as cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream.  In this you'll have to decide if you think the ends justify the means.

The Baked Meatball Stew sounds delicious, as does the Chicken Cacciatore and the Cheese Stuffed Meatloaf.  There are also salads, vegetarian dishes, and even desserts. While like most I won't make every recipe in this book, there are a hearty listing of those I will definitely make.  This is a very good cookbook for both beginner and seasoned cooks like myself who just want to make something easy once in a while.  I would definitely recommend this cookbook to others.
