  Results with this cookbook have not been consistent. I have to admit it was not a good purchase and get rid of it.

  The recipes in this are good, but, even better, the technique adapts itself well to experiementation. The chart in the front of the book detailing different grains and their respective liquid quantities is a great jumping off place. I've made dozens of fruit/grain concoctions for breakfast using this template. Fast and foolproof.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Fish Florentine

  • swegener on January 30, 2015

    This was really good. I used beefsteak tomatoes and salmon, and found it to be very flavorful and easy!

• Mediterranean-style trout

  • Ishie1013 on November 29, 2022

    This was a great healthy simple recipe. It does need more seasoning than called for, though the recipe is a bit vague on how much salt and pepper to add, but it came together for a great weeknight meal.

• Tandoori salmon with kale

  • Jane on January 18, 2014

    I didn't love this. It may have been better if I had used a thinner yogurt for the tandoori topping (I only had Greek yogurt) but still it didn't work for me as a combination. On paper rice, salmon, kale and butternut squash with a tandoori sauce sounded good but in reality it was actually dull.

• Adobo pork

  • chefandra on September 10, 2022

    Easy to make. Pork is nice and moist.

• Honey and spice pork

  • rpepper on October 11, 2016

    Very good, but I recommend leaving out the cloves. I used less than half of what the recipe calls for and the clove flavor was still too strong. Maybe a little less cinnamon as well.

• Thai larb

  • AgusiaH on March 22, 2014

    I doubled the quantity. Fast and easy to do. Nice thai flavours.

• African peanut butter stew

  • psarrett on February 11, 2024

    So easy, tasty, and filling!

• California chicken

  • Ishie1013 on December 29, 2022

    I made this with bone in chicken thighs and like other offerings in this book, it was an extremely easy flavorful weeknight meal. It's pleasant and well balanced. As a native Californian, I was wary of adding in the avocados to the beginning of the cook, but they turned out perfectly.

• Chicken piccata

  • sturlington on September 10, 2013

    I'm ready to give up on this cookbook. It's a nice idea, but you simply cannot cook all of these things in one pot and not expect something to be overdone or underdone. It doesn't work! Donating to the library book sale.

• Pranzo Italiano

  • sturlington on June 23, 2013

    This was a good meal that seems to call out for pasta. I would omit the broccoli or serve it on the side as there is no way not to overcook the broccoli when using this method.

• Sweet-tart chicken

  • eathealthy on January 23, 2025

    Easy and tasty. Suggest increasing mustard and pomegranate syrup
