User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars 1100 recipes, a 4.9 pound kitchen barbell, and a bargain price — what’s not to like?
The categories are vast, the suggestions enormous — pizza for days, soups for years, salads for decades, burgers and dips for eons. Most have fewer than a dozen ingredients, and although the recipes have an international flair, few call for trips to specialty markets. Preparation times aren’t offered, but nothing I saw looked as if it would take more than half an hour of preparation.
There are smart suggestions along the way. Grate garlic or ginger into your vinaigrette dressing; for a new sensation, warm your salsa in the microwave. And, happily, the editors have not been locked in test kitchens with no input from the world; among their many smart suggestions is to avoid buying out-of-season produce. It may taste fine, but it’s traveled so far that its carbon footprint should make you gag.
I was particularly impressed by the All-American recipes — there’s a lot of comfort food here to help you through the slog of weeknight dinners. For example: a recipe for iceberg lettuce wedges, topped with warm bacon and blue cheese. And chili that cries out for a mug of beer.
