Summary: Wow! Much better than the Cake Mix books!
Comment: I had intended to get this out of the library before deciding whether to buy it or not. But I happened upon it at a bookstore and, after perusing it for a few minutes, decided that I just HAD to have it. It is CRAMMED with terrific recipes, ideas and hints! Everything sounds tasty, and almost everything is quick and easy to make, with very precise instructions. Most things are fairly health-conscious, too. Thus far I've tried thus far the Nacho Cheese Soup, Mac & Cheese, Corn/Potato Chowder, and Penne with Pesto, Blue Cheese and Walnuts. All were very easy and tasted fabulous, even with my low-fat substitutions (low-fat pesto, low-fat Alfredo sauce, and evaporated milk instead of cream). I couldn't find the Campbell's Fiesta Nacho Cheese soup that Anne called for, so I used plain Cheddar Cheese soup, which worked just fine.
One thing I like about this book is that there are not a lot of shameless repeats and recyclings, as there are in the cake books. In this book she gives you variations on the recipe in a small box or sidebar, rather than creating a "new" recipe simply by changing the name and one ingredient. And, like the other books, it's very well written in Anne's chatty and unpretentious style. Right on, Anne!

Summary: Excellent for a busy person....or anyone!!
Comment: This book is an absolute godsend to a time pressed kitchen-phobe like me. It has made making and planning dinners easier and FUN!! The Dinner Doctor is just what the doctor ordered for everyday people to make great meals with simple items from the store or items that you already have on hand. I devoured this book when I got it, even my husband was excited about dinnertime again! I highly recommend this book to anyone who works and even those who do not. It has definitely taken everyday food items and made them exciting. And the recipes are easy to follow and in plain english. Anne Bryn also offers helpful tidbits, humor and substitutions along the way for those red meat, cream and butter phobes like myself. In summation--GET THIS BOOK...you (and you family) will be glad you did!!

Summary: Disappointment.
Comment: Majority of recipes are gourmet-type recipes with ingredients my family would never touch. I was surprised, because I really liked her Cake Mix Doctor Book.
