Book Reviews of Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2
Book Review: HELP!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
I need help choosing and deciding on only one of Ray's books maybe to START, and at the lowest price range for now [''used or new'' vendors preferably]. I want ONE that would be the best for my situation [defined below]. I've spent my life in fancy Manhattan gourmet restaurants, but not these days anymore. I'm single and don't have a family to cook for, only myself [by choice] and too fatigued for company anymore..... and need ONLY DINNERS.....NOT filled with mostly desserts, no party meals, no appetizers, no sandwiches, no bean and/or rice dishes, no Latin spicy dishes, not really needing 'leftover' meals either, though those are 'ok' thrown in. I LOVE her Asian "Take Out" recipes, of which I always have all the condiments for, because I do a lot of that already......
I really need just basic DINNERS / dishes like that, and potted dishes of all kinds, for freezing portions. I'm diabetic for 5 years, with very little energy, am on extremely LOW carbs, NO sugar, [obviously neither of which RAY has ever heard of.....nor dieters either and the combination of either one or the other or BOTH along with simply HEALTH conscious people, probably constitutes about half of America, but we're being ignored on her shows including advocating and encouraging TONS of killer salt, only because of her personal taste preference which she should realize is negatively influencing her TV audiences, and she could single handedly wipe out America with only that..... but I'm not here to pursue that angle. There are a LOT of diabetic cookbooks, and I have mostly all of them but I'm more interested in ""FAST"", therefore can make my own healthier substitutions with hers],......
I also can't stand in the kitchen too long so I need a book with the QUICKEST and least complex recipes and least STEPS and ingredients and least preparation dishes to be 'WASHED' afterwards, [but ok, that's something we all figure out for ourselves, but I did read complaining reviews for all her books, that it does require so much of that and also see it on her shows every day as well]. .....
I've always been good at putting foods and seasonings together on my own, and of course since Ray has come along, I substitute all her HIGH carb ingredients like using other vegetables INSTEAD of potatoes or rice [including also "Dreamfields" brand low carb, slow-metabolizing real semolina Pastas coated in fiber that tastes EXACTLY like all regular high glucose pastas, and which I've been using for almost 5 years so I CAN eat occasional pastas and LOVE those recipes of hers too.... if anyone's interested in lower carbs BUY it, maybe Amazon has it or inquire at ''dreamfieldsfoods'' and in most supermarkets] and all the sugar and honeys she uses I sub with artificial sweeteners, etc., and am great in the kitchen [and FAST because I HAVE TO be] but need some ideas for more variety and real quick shortcuts because of my bad back and really love her style and expediency, and although I've been to her website and copy/paste things on Laptop, and also tape certain things she cooks on TV, I would like a book to keep in the kitchen [or to browse comfortably in bed first] for having them all together in one book and for instant guidance and refreshing.......
I've read reviews here coming out the Kazoo of ALL her books, and nothing is helping me narrow it down to 1 or 2 books for my personal needs and restrictions and only full meals. Everybody says something different, loving her or hating her and also the variables of what's in each book which is hard to decipher and make a consensus on......
I would like to have at least ONE basic collection of DINNERS, with all REALLY quick recipes and even 30 minutes is too long for me to fuss [I run back and forth in between each step to rest and catch my shortness of breath, along with my bad back and cook big batches to freeze, for that reason, and to not have to spend time in the kitchen often, maybe only once a week to make a big pot for the rest of the week, which I don't even have to stand over and watch. Pan cooking in between is also as fast as I can possibly make it because of my
So to sum up.... WHICH of Ray's books would be the quickest and most COMPLETE book with WHOLE meals [dinner type.....NOT too many sandwiches, snacks, leftovers, desserts, nor entertaining, etc.] *deep sigh* Thanks so much.
[Obviously couldn't rate it yet, so rated HER instead, according to what she presents elsewhere].
