The Clever Cookbook: Get-Ahead Strategies and Timesaving Tips for Stress-Free Home Cooking

It took time getting here but recipies are ok. tips and interesting recipes

this looks like a really "do-able cookbook. The recipes are easy, lots of pictures, and i cant wait to dig into it. glad i bought this one.

This is the greatest book for time saving ideas. Love it

I was surprised at how good this book turned out to be. Bought on a whim based on popular cookbooks.

I bought this book since I am a huge fan of Raffa's Sourdough cookbook, and I wanted to try her recipes for things other than bread. I am just as happy with The Clever Cookbook as I am with Artisan Sourdough Made Simple -- the recipes are straightforward, simple in the best way, and delicious. I've made several of them twice or more times over already, and had the Cauliflower Bolognese tonight -- for two of us, this was a filling dinner plus two more lunches.The recipes are family friendly and can be for omnivores, vegetarians or vegans, they are so adaptable. I love making the Vegetable Soup and adding hot curry and light coconut milk (the canned type) -- put that over brown or Basmati rice and you have dinner.Most of the recipes are pretty quick, as well, around an hour start to finish and suitable for guests, kids, families, or just the two of you (several of these recipes like the Cauliflower Bolognese make it easy to feed a family healthy food on a budget). I have made the 20-Minute Skillet Baked Shrimp and Feta several times, and for company -- with a nice loaf of bread, salad, and a dessert, it's an easy, elegant meal for 2-4 people. We keep a tub of the garlic butter in the fridge and I use it for quick garlic bread.If you want to learn how to be creative with quick, healthy ingredients and make recipes that are simple but also really good, try this book. It's for beginning cooks as well as experienced -- Raffa encourages you to experiment and get creative. Enjoy!
