Some of these recipes are really good. I gave this book a 3 because of the ridiculous amounts of spices, expensive cheeses, and random crap you need to buy for each recipe, though. Seriously, who wants to spend $50 on saffron?
I really like this cookbook. It's got great, super-tasty recipes, and they're diverse enough that it's fun to cook your way through.
That said, few of these took me less than 30 minutes to make (more like an hour) and the ingredients for most are expensive enough that it's just not feasible to actually make one of these every night for a year.
But if you just want to make one every couple of weeks...highly recommend it. (especially the cumin and lime pork tenderloin)

Although each recipe tends to have a list with loads of ingredients, I think each of the ingredients contributes to the flavor of the dish. It's not most economical for some to buy a jar of smoked paprika to never use it again, but as a person who likes to cook, I don't mind the occasional investment as I incorporate those particular ingredients in other dishes/recipes that I make.

I personally don't like her shows at all. Her personality just bothers me plain and simple. However, I had heard fantastic comments about her recipes... I figured I would get one of her books at the library and try her recipes... I opened the book only to read "EVOO"... I can't tolerate when she says it on TV and can't stand it on paper either. I ended up not trig any recipes as realistically, there was no way to complete them in 30 minutes without chopping a finger off or spending my monthly g...more
Originally, I gave this book 2 stars. While I go to Rachael's book for ideas, it's been at least a year since I really followed her recipes. However, upon reflection, I realized that is her point. Her books serve as guides for putting a little variety on your table. Additionally, I used her book extensively when I was first learning to cook. I wasn't confident in my decisions, and her book of simple recipes gave me a basis to work from.
I've enjoyed everything I've tried from this book, but I find the recipe style a bit confusing to follow. Not for the standard recipes, but when she does a Now Try It... recipe, which substitutes ingredients and takes out others, I never quite know where I'm supposed to be going with things. I've never tried one of her Now Try It... recipes because of that.
Although I think Racheal is cute as can be, with a fabulous personality, I am not a huge fan of her recipes. Not having been schooled in cooking terminology or form, I don't always know what to do with some of the ingredients she uses, or where to find them! Would have expected some simpler recipes from the 30-minute wonder cook.
please go away and Yummo a sammie with your greazy EVOO somewhere else, you baby-talking, plastic-faced, binge eating, DIY-ripping-off tart. For someone who considers making toast a separate recipe when making a meal, the only people RR appeal to are those who aren't sure which metal box is the oven and which is the fridge. Yummo!
Our family is full of cooks and chefs. With loving to cook, and having two teens who are going to be chefs when they are out of school, we can never have too many great cookbooks. We love Rachel anyway so having her books was a given for us. We love how she uses fresh ingredients and puts them together in awesome tasting ways.
There are, but a handful of recipes in this book that I will be willing to try. I found this extremely meat and pork heavy, which isn't my deal since I'm not big on either. I am sure this book will appeal to people that have lots of time to cook througout the course of a week. I give her an A for effort, but not much more than that.
To be fair, I haven't spent a lot of time making things from this book. Read through it a few times, tried a few things with good results. Rachel DOES tend to require LOTS of ingredients, and its a little off-putting. Will delve into it again when I have more time to ransack my pantry...
I'm not a big RR fan, but I found this one at the library and was surprised by how many new ideas I found. For me, a cookbook is a success if I get 2 recipes that I re-use from it, and this one has done that and then some. Nacho bread pizza, salad capricciosa and salsa stoup are some favorites.
i love this cookbook. ive made many many recipes out of it. they are all easy, and easily completed in 30 mins or less in some cases. im no chef but if i can make a recipe in 30 mins then most other people should be able to. i recommend this to lots of people and have also given it as a gift.
Though not the most high class of cookbooks, I find myself reaching for this one over and over when I need a quick weeknight dinner with ingredients I have on hand. For this reason, Rachael has earned her spot on my cooking shelf next to Julia, Jacques, Ina, and Mark.
Only for fans of 30-Minute Meals. If you appreciate the way she suggests, rather than dictates, you'll enjoy this book. The recipes are fairly basic in terms of taste. It's not haute cuisine, but most people will find these recipes to be very serviceable.
I love watching Rachel Ray and she as some amazing ideas for dinner but they require so many ingredients that I personally can't find at my Food Store. I have cook so many of her different recipes and I love them but they take more than 30 mins for me

This is a horrible cookbook. The recipes a mish mash of ingredients that create very unappetizing meals.
If you must own a Rachael Ray book buy the original 30 Minute Meals. The recipes in that book are simple and quick.

There are couple recipes and ideas in here that I really like, such as adding blue cheese to a bisquit mix or the peppery garbanzo pasta. Otherwise I kind of think these recipes needlessly use too many processed ingredients.
For when I'm feeling fancy but not too fancy. I mostly use this book to liven up meals that are already part of my regular rotation -like using sheep milk cheese to top a hamburger instead of the usual cheddar.
I like Rachael Ray's Food Network show just fine, so this review doesn't come from any anti-Rachael sentiments, but...I read through all 365 recipes and only found one that I wanted to make. And it turned out pretty good, but 1/365 = yikes.
I was impressed with the incredible number of recipes in this collection. There is literally something for everyone. I have tried several of the meals and they were easy and accessible to make.
As of this writing, I have documented trying 101 of these recipes. Of those there have only been 2 or 3 duds, the rest being good, great or excellent. Most take about an hour, give or take fifteen minutes.
This collection seems the most diverse of her books that I've perused: some date-worthy dishes, some down home cooking, some messy football food.

Dave got this for me out of the blue one day and I use it all the time. Some recipes are things I wouldn't ever make, but there are enough great recipes that make this a trusted go-to cookbook.
Rachael Ray likes her food way to spicy. I had to modify almost every recipe to suit my tastebuds. I'd say about 1/4 of the recipes in this book are OK, the rest were crap. Sorry, Rachael.
I like how she can take a recipe and tweek it into something totally new, but I found the index a little confusing and there were a lot of recipes that I don't think I'd try.
I think this is a great cookbook. I have used it a lot and while the recipes are not as figure friendly as they could be everything I made was delicious.
Isa lets me "borrow" her personalized signed copy from Ms. Ray. There was a time when she preferred the Food Network over the Disney Channel!
Not as good as her Get Real Meals book, there are some really good recipes here but the organization and indexing is piss poor.
Some good recipes, yet too many expensive ingredients, such as saffron and pancetta and cheeses etc.
