Darn Good Eats: The Cookbook for Creative Chefs and Reluctant Cooks
Starts out with how the author hates to cook so hubby does it. A collection of his recipes along with chapters about the hot meter and list of utensils you will need.
Very challenging recipes. Lots of categories to choose from. Some recipes have a photo, very nice photo of the finished item along with various ways to make it depending on how healthy you want to eat.
No nutritional information but you can tell from the ingredients just how healthy it will be.
Back of the book is more package mixes to speed up the process of everyday cooking. Measurement tables at the end.… (mere)

I really love this cookbook. I was afraid when I received it that it would just sit on my cookbook shelf because I really do not like to cook. But so far I have made three of the recipes. I have read some of the other reviews and most people have probably made more of the recipes than I have, but three recipes are a LOT for me to have attempted. And they were all terrific.
But I have to say this is the first cookbook I have ever had that I have read cover to cover as if it were a tantalizing novel. SO funny. You can almost hear this author and her husband with their opposing views on the art of cooking deciding the details of each recipe.
There is a recipe for Fettuccini alfredo that the author refers to as a "naughty food" and suggests eating no more than once a month.LOL.
Of course the three recipes that I made came from the first half of the book that is written for people who hate to cook
Loved the "Fancy Pants Grilled Cheese"!… (mere)
