Try your hand at Spring Chicken with Leeks and Peas and you’re all set to turn out a rib-sticking Rice and Chicken Stoup that looks and tastes like an entirely different dish.

Drawing from her own favorite dishes as well as those of her family, friends, and celebrities, she covers the flavor spectrum from Asian to Italian and dozens of delicious stops in between. Best of all, these flavor-packed dishes will satisfy your every craving and renew your taste for cooking. With so many delicious entrees to choose from you’ll never have an excuse for being in a cooking rut again.

Her flavor profiles are great. But...Too much meat. My god in heaven too much meat. I'm not a vegetarian, but Sweet Baby Jesus, so much meat.30 minute meals? Really?? Sure, if you have a prep cook, then it would only take you 30 minutes to mix it all up after your prep cook did everything else and pre-measured all the different components if you happen to be a pro chef yourself with the reflexes and speed of a kitchen Jedi. Yes, if that is your personal situation, 30 minutes easy. However, if you are a perfectly normal mortal human trying to make a tasty meal, most of these recipes are going to be closer to an hour. Some even more.Exactly how much food does she think goes into one serving? An 11 X 9 casserole dish filled to overflowing with Shepard's pie is not four servings. If it is four servings in your house, you eat too much.Ultimately the recipes are overly complex and rely too much on starches and meats.

Rachel Ray's recipes are often quite good, if you have realistic expectations of how long they will take. I found with the recipes in this book that though they all claim to take 30 minutes to cook (or sometimes less), and while I fully believe that Rachel Ray can cook them in that amount of time, ma lesser-skilled cook such as myself will often take forty-five minutes to an hour to finish one of the dishes.With that established, I have enjoyed every recipe that I've cooked from the book so far, and I've learned a few new food combinations to use in other cooking as well. This is a valuable addition to our kitchen.

Great book for people who don't have a lot of time and are looking to cook tasty meals that will give plenty of left-overs! I'm married, work probably on average 55-60 hours a week -- and this cookbook is the only one i use. I by no means have tried each recipe in it and I don't plan to -- but out of the 365 recipes -- i've probably tried 60 and i rotate between the same 15-20 fairly frequently, throwing a new one in every once in a while.Also -- unless you're already handy in the kitchen, I'd recommend watching a couple Rachel Ray 30 minute meal episodes first. It used to take me 10 minutes to peel and cut an oinion - now i do it 15 seconds.

Ingredients in green, other info in blue makes it a little hard to read for glasses wearers. I like the check off section (Its a keeper or try this later) and the 'faves' list @ the table of contents. Haven't used much yet.

Umm- these recipes are kind of crazy. They looked cheap and not too tasty. I'm not sure I know of anyone who would actually eat this stuff.
