It's All Easy: Delicious Weekday Recipes for the Super-Busy Home Cook Hardcover – Illustrated, April 12, 2016

Besides the book being a lot bigger and thicker than one would expect, my favorite part about this book is that all recipes are made for 1 serving. The book is beautifully made, most recipes take half a page. Beautiful photographs on every other page. Finally the book with recipes that aren’t made for 6 so I don’t have to be forced into overeating. I found the recipes to be practical, healthy, and refined. Adjectives that could describe the author herself. I love that many recipes are made with kids in mind. There are recipes that you would find in the restaurant and now can make at home and know exactly what you’re eating. I found that reading the content is helpful rather than just looking through the recipes. It will help you connect with the thought behind the book. I’m enjoying cooking my way through it for one, two, or more.

Bought two. They were gifts for my daughter and wife.

I love this book. The recipes are simple yet elevated. I read the recipes for inspiration. This book has helped keep my diet healthy.

I love this cookbook. For me, they’re healthful, easy recipes that you’ll make again and again. There are a lot of Asian inspired meals, so if miso and Tamari (soy sauce) aren’t your jam, you should probably pass on this one. Unfortunately, the format, not the content is what drives me crazy. What’s up amazon?? I checked out the kindle version from the library and it worked just fine, but now I’ve bought it and the text is soooo tiny. There also isn’t a search function, which makes it incredibly difficult to navigate around the cookbook.

I am in absolutely LOVE with this cookbook! The second I flipped through, I knew I was going to enjoy it, but I am always skeptical of cookbooks at first unless it's an Ina Garten cookbook. It's always difficult to judge the quality of the recipes. As a busy person who often works close to 12 hours a day, lives in NYC, etc. I found myself ordering Seamless way too much. This cookbook has brought me back into the kitchen, cooking healthy and delicious things again which is a nice feeling.Some favorites include the ground turkey and eggplant stir fry, which is seriously a snap to make and I was blown away by how flavorful it is! If you think this recipe sounds odd, give it a try. The zucchini noodle cacio e pepe are my new go-to when I feel like ordering something expensive and not so healthy, but know I shouldn't. A spare zucchini and some cheese is all you need. The migas is also the perfect weekend breakfast of weeknight dinner, topped with avocado, hot sauce, and fresh jalepeno. The socca pizzas are great, and you can top them with whatever you want. One night I made the Indian creamed spinach with naan on the side. The Moroccan chicken salad is great to make with a rotisserie chicken for lunches all week! The bottom line is this book as provided so many recipes that you can make when you have nothing in the house, and that is exactly what I needed.Of course, there are still plenty of recipes I plan on trying. Everything in this book is truly easy, accessible, and affordable with few ingredients, and not too many obscure ingredients. Not to mention, delicious and healthy!

The title of this book has to be a bit of a joke. This is a cookbook for someone who is 1) experienced in the kitchen 2) willing to spend significantly more than the average person on groceries and 3)with the patience to source unusual ingredients. It is also a cookbook for someone who defines "easy recipes" as ones that take up to an hour to prepare. The commentary that is included with them is so self-congratulatory and boastful, it is a real turn-off and something I have never seen in another cookbook (other than ones by Paltrow). These recipes are, for the most part, poorly written and assume a great deal of knowledge on the part of the cook, often leaving out key details. I am a very experienced cook, but these recipes are not "easy." Perhaps the biggest investment of time and money comes with finding the ingredients. I live in a city, but I still had to rely on Amazon for a few tools and ingredients to proceed with these recipes. A few of Paltrow's recipes require a Vitamix (a very big investment for anyone who does not plan to use it regularly) as well a far less expensive tools like a Matcha whisk ($9) and a Spiralizer (as inexpensive as $15). Even with my very well-stocked pantry and kitchen, I have now spent close to $200 of various ingredients, drawing the line at a $24 bag of vanilla powder (vanilla extract can be substituted) and the very difficult to source Pitaya (up to $40 a bag for frozen chunks and unavailable in my Whole Foods markets or at the large organic grocery in the city). This is not a book for anyone who does not want to invest in unusual pantry items and maybe even do some Amazon shopping to source the harder-to-find ones. For instance, I had to buy chickpea flour (best bought at an Indian grocery), brown rice syrup, coconut sugar (worth reading about the debates surrounding it before purchasing), gochujang paste, Veganaise and about 10 other unusual food stocks in order to make the recipes that interest me. For the average home cook with little time to cook, let alone time to scare up ingredients, this makes the cookbook's title laughable. On average, I have spent 45-1 hour making her recipes. Frankly, recipes that come in under 45 minutes are what I am aiming for after a very long day at work. So far I have made the Thai Curry Noodle Pot (B), the Cauliflower and Kimchi "Fried Rice" (A), Shrimp Stir-Fry (B-), Za'atar Roasted Carrot and Avocado Soca (A-) and her Chocolate Mousse (B+), but have at least 8 more recipes I plan to try. So far, I will only make one out of five of the recipes again.

The book was delivered in very good condition as expected.

Avevo già acquistato il suo primo libro, ed amo le sue ricette così particolari e saporite. L'unico problema che ho vivendo in Italia è la reperibilità di certe spezie/prodotti. A parte questo mi piace, è spiegato il maniera semplice e chiara. Lo consiglio a chi ama gusti diversi e ama la buona cucina.
