Summary: Eating Gourmet Style - Without Gourmet Effort!
Comment: WOW - we have been so excited by this book. I was desperate for something that would help me plan meals for the week without doing casseroles or having to cook everything at once and stick it in the freezer. This system allows you to eat FRESH meals without recreating the base ingredients every time. Having the meat and vegetables already prepared for the week takes tons of time away from meal prep. Slicing and dicing is the primary time-consuming element.
The book makes a statement we've found absolutely true: We can enjoy meals that taste like we've gone to a restaurant, and we've spent far less time and money. I also appreciate the lack of processed-food ingredients in the meals. The butter and fat content is a bit high, but I substitute olive oil nearly 100% of the time for better heart health. We haven't found anything that we don't want to try again!
LOVE the colorful photos. They inspire me to create something new. I'm also learning to create my own new recipes that use leftover meats, vegetables and breads into later meals. It's been a great cooking school!

Comment: Cooking for the Week : Leisurely Weekend Cooking for Easy WeekDAY Meals by Diane Morgan, et al
This is one of the better cookbooks I have seen. The book is well written, the recipes are clear and easy to follow, not to mention delicious.
I recommend this book to anyone who has asked themselves what to do with leftovers or said that there is nothing in the house to eat.
This book will get you thinking in a new, better, way about menu planning.

Summary: A real Treat
Comment: With two active teenagers, and a demanding full-time job, I find it a challenge to get healthy, well-balanced meals on the table sometimes. Many of the common cook-for-the-month plans rely heavily on casseroles and starchy dishes. This book is different. Simple, elegant preparation for the weekend meal. The "leftovers" reappear later in the week in a number of guises - ethnic and spicy, simple and kid-friendly, the whole spectrum. A really nice variety. And the main courses are those we often prepare - roast chicken, grilled fish, flank steak. The creative part is in the use of leftover meats and side dishes. My only concern is that it's a paperback - I may wear it out! A spiral bound version would be so much nicer.
