Notes about this book

  • Eat Your Books

    See Recipe Girl's take on Glazed pork tenderloin with pineapple from this cookbook.

  • debrakp on May 17, 2011

    The book is organized by the four seasons, so it is easy to find recipes to fit what is available and fresh at all times of the year.

  • sck on July 28, 2010

    Perfect everyday cookbook for quick meals. We've really enjoyed the baked shells with winter squash, the lamb burgers, and the pasta with proscuitto and peas. Lots of things in here you can make with what's already in your pantry and refrigerator.

    Great Everyday Cookbook

  • Breadcrumbs on March 10, 2010

    This book appeals on many levels. Photos are plentiful, accurately depicting finished product. Instructions have been clear and succinct. True to the book's title, most recipes indeed produce "Great Food Fast".

  • nomadchowwoman on January 05, 2010

    The title describes accurately what's inside. Every recipe I've tried is wonderful, from the blueberry crumb cake to the Indian-spiced chicken burgers, Vietnamese beef sandwiches to chicken w/prosciutto and sage.

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Sauteed chicken in mustard-cream sauce

    • Breadcrumbs on April 28, 2010

      p.32 - 4 x 6oz b/s chx breasts - cooked on stove top. April 2010 - first use of this rec. Super simple with great results. I used a butter evoo combo instead of pure evoo, otherwise I didn't change anything. Sauce was delicious and recipe took less than 30 mins start to finish. Definitely will make again.

    • Lindalib on August 02, 2012

      Quick meal on a weeknight. Nice combination of flavors.

  • Cashew chicken

    • esack on April 11, 2011

      Added pineapple and red pepper

    • seherhussain on August 24, 2011

      good tip, added a pepper too

  • Tomato and grilled bread salad

    • Lindalib on June 18, 2012

      Very Good. We grilled (slightly stale) store-bought garlic cheese bread, and used fresh tomatoes, English cucumber (both salted and drained) and fresh basil from the garden.

  • Flank steak with lime marinade

    • Cheri on March 31, 2011

      This was pretty good. Served wrapped in tortillas with salsa, sr. cream, guacamole and romaine lettuce. Everyone had seconds. Easy

  • Fish tacos

  • Grilled sweet potatoes with scallions

    • sarahcooks on July 04, 2012

      Simple and excellent. Just don't burn them.

  • Blueberry crumb cake

    • Cheri on January 23, 2011

      Streusel topping makes a lot, cut down by 1/3. This is good, not too sweet. Used frozen blueberries. Took 1 hr 40 min @ 350 to bake.

    • Breadcrumbs on March 17, 2010

      Note: only uses 1/4c buttermilk, 1 1/2 cups blueberries

  • Oven-baked polenta

    • mfto on January 04, 2012

      p 201 - I usually make polenta in the microwave following Cook's Ill recipe but decided to try cooking in the oven. You put water, polenta and salt in covered casserole, bake in 425 oven for 15 minutes. Remove and stir. It was very liquidy. Put back in oven for 15 minutes. It had thickened a little but still looked too thin. Yikes! I had warmed 1/4 cup milk and 2 tbs butter as instructed and added this along with majoram. Still unsure but I whisked and whisked and miraculously, the polenta thickened perfectly. Very delicious. Especially liked the marjoram. Served 4 and could have served at least 5.

  • Chicken stir-fry wraps

    • emcoughlin on August 25, 2010

      A tasty stir fry! I made some changes based on what I had on hand - I used white wine vinegar and added a little sugar, added carrots, and served the stir-fry over rice instead of the lettuce wraps. There is nothing amazing or highly unique about the recipe, but it's easy to make, has a basic ingredients list, and is healthy, so we'll definitely have it again!

  • Roasted chicken and vegetables

    • bethihearyoucalling on July 07, 2011

      subbed chicken thighs, cooked chicken 40 minutes. drizzled balsamic on dish at last 10 minutes of cooking

  • Sloppy joes

    • Breadcrumbs on March 10, 2010

      pg. 216 - March 2010: First time using this recipe. Very quick and easy. Directions straight-forward, thorough and succinct. In addition to listed ingredients I added: 2 tbsp of tomato paste, 1/2 tsp dry oregano, 1 tbsp cider vinegar, 1 tbsp dark brown sugar. While dish was good, I found it a bit bland, lacking a depth of flavour. Next time I'd add additional Worcestershire and, oregano.

  • Roasted salmon with lentils

    • sarahcooks on November 03, 2012

      Easy and tasty. I served it with roasted brussels sprouts.

  • Pear custard pie

    • sarahcooks on April 04, 2011

      This is so easy! Make sure your pears are nice and ripe - if they're hard, they won't soften in the oven like apples would.

    • Cheri on May 24, 2011

      Love this fall dessert. Easy, comforting. Have made this many times and served to a wide variety of palates, all with success

  • Lentil soup

    • bethihearyoucalling on July 07, 2011

      Cooked bacon low and slow, cooked lentils longer than recipe called for, added water as needed. Served with shaved parmesan on top.

  • Chicken with cranberry sauce

    • sarahcooks on December 06, 2010

      This was easy and turned out great! I made it with the mashed beans and also threw some brussels sprouts on the same tray as the chicken and it was a great meal. The chicken took longer than the recipe said, but they were probably bigger breasts than it called for.

  • Chili-rubbed skirt steak

    • apronless on November 07, 2011

      This is a stand-out recipe. I use ancho chile powder. The jalapeno-cilantro sauce that is served with the steak is stellar. The spice level on either one is low but good.

  • Crispy apricot pork chops

    • HunyBadger on April 07, 2011

      Very easy albeit uninspired. Used Grey's Chutney instead of apricot jam and panko flakes instead of breadcrumbs. Came out very moist.

    • HunyBadger on April 07, 2011

  • Enchiladas with pumpkin sauce

    • Lisa Is Cooking

      Pumpkin with spicy chiles is a yes, and pumpkin with cheddar is another yes. There was no way these enchiladas could be anything but good. Actually, they were great.
