Book Reviews of Tyler's Ultimate: Brilliant Simple Food to Make Any Time
Book Review: The BEST cookbook for busy moms!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I purchased this cookbook, I had no idea how much I was going to love it! This is mad, crazy cookbook love! So, it's a little overboard, but it's the truth. I had no idea who Tyler Florence is, but I enjoy cookbooks and thought I'd give it a go. Honestly, I typically buy a cookbook and then due to time or lengthy shopping lists, they usually just collect dust.
I can't say enough good things about this book! I've been cooking out of it, several times a week, for the last few weeks. The best part, besides all the yummy flavors, is the use of ingredients. Tyler uses a lot of the same ones over and over, so night after night I have everything needed to make more meals! When does that ever happen? Get a lot of EVO because it's in almost everything!
A few things I've made are; fried chicken, mac n cheese, sesame chicken, honey spinach salad, ribs, barbecue chicken, potato salad, roasted potato wedges, berry trife--just to name a few! All GREAT! Even my children eat it...ages 4 and 7. It's all fast too! In one night I made sesame chicken, roasted potato wedges AND the triple berry trifle...in ONE hour! Can you say easy? Tip---the rib sauce and the barbecue chicken sauce are worth the book alone! Delicious!!
My husband said he's going to start calling me Tyler! I tell every mom I know about this book and now I am telling you! :) If you have a busy life, but still like to make delicious, healthy, full of flavor foods, without a ton of ingredients or effort then RUN and get this book and thank me later! Tyler...you are the best....and write another one!!
