Book Review: I've reserved a copy of the new edition...
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never heard of this type of one-pot cooking. I've had a 4 qt Staub cocotte sitting unused in a cupboard, so I checked out a library copy of "Glorious One-Pot Meals" and doubled the "Rosemary Chicken Comfort Food" recipe due to the size of my pot. I omitted the squash in deference to my husband and it turned out wonderfully! It was very hard for me not to add some liquid, but I didn't. The chicken was so moist and there was plenty of juice in the bottom. I could plate the potatoes, green beans, onion, mushrooms and chicken seperately and they maintained their individual textures and flavors. I'm sold and am very impatient for the new edition to be available!!Book Review: The joys of one pot cooking

Finally, an author got it right - a deceptively simple way to make nutritious, delicious dinners all in one step!
I was blown away by the scallops and sweet potato recipes. The potatoes added an unexpected flavor that was just yummy. I served one of them for a dinner party of eight, and it was enormously successful. And so easy! I added French bread and dessert, and there you have it. This style of cooking has encouraged me to take up the art again after many years of takeout. I also love the spiral notebook design, which makes it so easy to use. I've already lined up 6 more recipes to try out on my husband and friends!

Book Review: If You're Counting Points (WW), Take a Look....
Summary: 5 Stars
I received my book last week, and I've made 2 meals from it so far. The first meal I attempted was little overcooked, so I submitted a question on the website. To my surprise, I received a response from the author herself. She gave me great tips to make my next attempt more sucessful.
Both meals were bursting with flavor, and you don't feel deprived, thinking that you're eating something light. Most of these meals are low in points on the Weight Watchers system. I also like the fact that global flavors are included. You get a chance to experiment, and really become an intuitive cook.
Buy the book - you won't be disappointed!

I'm just embarrassed that after all my cooking experience I didn't spot how truly awful this cookbook is. I'm ashamed it took two experiments to confirm what I suspected -- YOU CAN'T COOK MEAT OR FISH ALONG WITH FRESH VEGETABLES (OTHER THAN ROOT VEGETABLES) AT HIGH TEMPERATURES AND EXPECT AN EDIBLE RESULT!! I made the Santa Fe Chicken -- ugh! -- and the Scallops and Sweet Potatoes -- even worse. Well, maybe I just tried the two worst recipes. I don't think so. So thanks DCPL for loaning me the book. However, not all is lost: The two-quart Le Creuset dutch oven is about the cutest non-animate thing I ever saw.Book Review: Great Cookbook for Busy People

I have put myself on a gluten, dairy and red-meat/saturated fat free diet to help combat my Multiple Sclerosis. This cookbood is a God send. I use it as often as three times every week. While it is not red-meat and gluten free altogether, every recipe is adaptable quite easily to the restrictions of my diet. It helps me keep things interesting so I'm not as inclined to 'cheat.' The first time I tried it, I served eight people the Ciopinno and they all LOVED it! It's easy to 'play' with these recipes because of the section that really explains the theory behind building a one-pot meal in layers.
