I won't give this a proper rating until I've at least used it for a fair trial period. But I bought it because I'm absolutely terrible at cooking and know how to cook very, very few things (and I'm in my mid-30's). I like the fact that these meals claim to be doable in less than 30 minutes or so, which makes it much more approachable for me to attempt them.
I'm also a very visual learner, so I appreciate the fact that this book not only has nice colour photographs of the actual dishes described, but I also really like the hand-drawn pictures of ingredients, or in-progress photos of items being placed in a frying pan, etc., etc. All of those details really help me grasp the entire process and all work toward making it very approachable for me.
My above impressions alone will probably lead to me giving a 5-star rating - but I really should try out some of the recipes first before that!

A definite hit in the kitchen!
I made three recipes and loved them all.
First I made Beef Stroganoff.
I loved it, and the hubby thought it was just okay. So maybe I won't make it all the time, but once in a while.
Then I made Pork Chops with Apple and Creamed Spinach.
This dish was a huge hit! My whole family loved this one, and I will definitely be making it often. The spinach was better than I expected it to me, so flavorful and delicious!
Lastly I made a Waldorf salad. I'd heard of it before and always wanted to try it. Now I have.
I loved this salad and can see why it is such a famous dish. It's crisp and refreshing! I urge you to try it sometime!
I can't wait to try some more recipes from this one. They are so easy to do, and usually need few ingredients to make. Great for when you want a decent meal, but are in a rush to eat.

Let me just say that first I love DK books. The simplicity of the layout and the presentation has always appealed to me. Well, when my colleague, who loves to cook, showed this to me I was immediately smitten! I have to own a copy and then some how figure out how to make the time to actually try these recipes. Makes my mouth water every time I look at it!

Seems pretty good. Close to 1:1 picture to recipe ratio, lots of simple recipes I will probably try at some point. I do wish the ingredient lists didn't include little drawings of the ingredients. I'm cooking-impaired, but I know what a box of pasta looks like, thanks.

OK I am a cook connoisseur and we love cooking. We love making new dishes. This is the best hands down cookbook that I have ever seen in the bookstore. The raspberry cheesecake is freaking amazing and the one pot meal curry in a hurry oh my gosh
