Easy Healthy Cooking with 4 Ingredients

I'm a cooking novice, and I don't cook often, but I really like soup, so I get the urge to try throwing together a soup once in a while. I work and I've got two small kids, so I can't spend hours cooking or learning to cook. With that in mind, this book is perfect for me! The recipes are simple enough for me to throw together with little effort, and after making about a dozen soups from this book, there hasn't been a bad recipe yet. These recipes that don't require a movie or lots of pictures to decipher--they're simple, straightforward, and tasty. There is a good mix of smaller recipes that are good for leftovers, and bigger recipes requiring lots of meat and other things. There are soups, stews, chowders, chilis, chilled soups, and gumbos in this book, so there are lots of new things to try. Sections, more or less, dispensing with the fancy names... Chilled soups, pp. 7-21. Chicken, pp. 23-60. Beef, pp. 61-100. Pork, pp. 101-140. Seafood, pp. 141-156. Meatless (cheese or veggie), pp. 157-212. Slow cooker chicken, pp. 214-221. Slow cooker turkey, pp. 222-224. Slow cooker beef, pp. 225-237. Slow cooker pork, pp. 238-255. Slow cooker seafood, pp. 256-257. Slow cooker veggie, pp. 258-263. Recipes typically come one to a page, but shorter recipes are sometimes paired. Note that you can click the book above to look inside--the chilled soup recipes shown under "First Pages" are pretty representative of this book's style. The book itself is about 6 inches wide by 9 inches tall, so it doesn't take up a lot of room on my counter when I'm cooking.

The book was in awesome condition and I am enjoying making new items from it. I was quite pleased with this purchase!

Who wouldn't love this?!?! This is one of my favorite cookbooks... the recipes are super easy and a lot of ingredients are things you may already have on hand. If you have a busy life style or for new cooks this is the book for you. I was thrilled to see stock for this book... I purchased a bunch of these to give as gifts. Sorry I ran them empty! I highly recommend this book. Happy cooking!
