(More customer reviews)I checked this out from the library and ended up ordering a copy from Amazon two days later. I've made four or five of the meals so far. All have been tasty, and the prep time is amazingly short; that "30 minutes" includes cooking time, so usually I can get the sides whipped together and the kitchen cleaned up before it's time to eat.
I love books that give you a shopping list, side dish suggestions and a "game plan" of instructions; it's the next best thing to somebody else doing the work for you. The limit of 5 ingredients is a fun gimmick, and for the most part those ingredients are "real" food, not cream o' mushroom in a can.
Some portions were a little small for our family, which includes 2 healthy teenagers. And relying on pre-packaged convenience foods can get pricey--I will probably continue to cook raw potatoes, boil ordinary rice, and chop whole onions. But as the authors point out, it's nice to know we don't have to.
Final comment: the lasagna recipe alone is worth the price of the book.
