Taste of Home Cook it Quick: All-time family classics in 10, 20 & 30 Minutes (Taste of Home Quick & Easy)

I love Taste of Home books, I have several of their books. I have had this one for a couple years now bought it through the Taste of Homes mailings when they send me their mail.My mom was diagnosed with cancer last summer 2021. She lives in a different state. Last summer I made her 25 freezer meals, in foil pans (2 meals per foil pan for a total of 50 meals), i put them in a 50 gallon coolor and drove them to her...last Fall my brother moved in with her to help her, his wife passed away due to covid, he works full time and he has a 7 year old son. He doesn't have time to cook when he gets home and our mom doesn't have the energy to cook.I remembered about my favorite Taste of Home book (this one) that I love and use often with a family of 6. Amazon to the rescue... they had this book!!!! I bought it and had it shipped to her house. She loved looking at the pages, but that was the extent of it.Unfortunately, it has been 7 months since I bought it for them (one of the Christmas persents i had sent) I have asked several times if they made anything, and they haven't. That's to bad.I find this book to be very well organized, opens easily and stays open since it has a circle binder, but is hard cover all the way around. Pages lay flat. Recipes are easy, delicious. As a visual person/ learner, i appreciate that all these recipes have a picture. I also like the fact that they use foods that are common and I have heard of.Will, definitely buy again for a beginner cook, college student, large family for quick and easy meals (they also have meals for 2 people) or for a mom like mine who doesn't have the energy to cook. The book is there, I just wish they would use it and lay off the store bought freezer meals and realize the benefits of this book!Will definitely buy for when our kids go out on their own!!

I’ve flipped through this book and tried a few recipes. The recipes themselves are quite good. Our family especially loved the bruschetta. I simply cannot give this five stars because the tables of contents (plural!) and indexes are so unhelpful. The book is organized by how long you have to cook and subdivided by type of dish. The there are four tables of contents, each at the beginning of the pertinent section. To find where the 45 minute mains are located, one has to flip back and forth through the book. In addition, there are two indexes. The first one is organized by time, but it only lists main dishes. The second one lists the dishes in alphabetical order by exact title. This is practically useless. If I wanted to use up some bread, it would never occur to me to flip to R for Reuben Bread Pudding! The editors should look at other cookbooks for index inspiration. Check out The Easy 5-ingredient Ketogenic Diet Cookbook, Prep + Rally, or Fresh Food Fast by Cooking Light. Each has a distinctive index style that’s actually useful. I look forward to future cookbooks from Taste of Home that are well put together.

I've looked through most of the recipes. Like them al. The cookbook is well worth the cost. Would have shown a picture of what was cooked but we ate most all of it for dinner! What was left was only about 3 tablespoons!

I really liked this book. I figured 3-4 recipes I’d try but surprisingly no. I’ve got 25-30 sticky tabs of ones to try right away. All are down to earth “normal” recipes for busy families.

Wonderful simple and practical meals that can be made quickly. This is going to change my dreadful weekly meal planning into something I enjoy

This book is perfect for me, because I don't have the patience to spend hours making anything. Every recipe has turned out to be very good.

Recipes are easy to follow, budget friendly, and delicious!

Nothing quick unless your refrigerator, pantry/kitchen are stocked with unusual things. Ingredient list is a marathon.
