The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook: 150 Delicious Recipes for Simple, Everyday Suppers in 45 Minutes or Less

This was a great beginner cookbook for me. I bought it 11 years ago. There a lot great recipes in here. Loved the Adobo recipe. Received so many compliments from that recipe

If you aren't a cook by any stretch of the imagination, or just dislike to cook like me, then this book is for you. The recipes are flavorful but quick and simple. It is a limited ingredient recipe book but not like Jamie Oliver's which is from another country so I can't get several of those items. We switched our eating habits just a few weeks after I bought this and I still have post-it notes stuck all over it, just in different sections now. It's very versatile and it helps me to keep the cost of the meals down and cleaning up is quick. There are even a few duck and turkey recipes to switch things up. Hotandflashy, a 50+ yr old influencer, recommended this book because she has streamlined her life and this will help you too.

I have recently discovered Eating Well and love the simplicity of the recipes. so many cookbooks and so many recipes i cannot make ...until I ordered this one. Yay! i am so inspired.First, let me say, I am not an experienced cook. these are basic recipes with helpful tips and basic, fresh everyday ingredients. There are a few things that I don't normally buy like fish sauce, limes, tofu but these ingredients have several recipes so can be used again.My husband does not eat much creamy or spicy food, and though I am a good baker, I do not make desserts very much for health reasons. This cookbook has recipes for creamy, spicy, cheesy dishes but not many and no desserts. One of the most useful cookbooks I have ever owned.

Lots of great recipes -- and they're all pretty healthy. My only reservation about the book is that it generally has recipes that need unique (read: expensive) ingredients, and they don't generally last for very long (or at all).

This is now the best and most frequently used cookbook in our collection at home. I have to say it's really the only one we've used in the past month. I look through before grocery shopping and choose 5 meals to make for weeknight dinners. We've tried a whole bunch of the recipes and so far there hasn't been one disappointment. Even my picky son has eaten them all. The recipes are easy, quick and yummy, not to mention healthy! The author needs to write more of these books with different recipes before we've tried all 150 in this book.

I'm really liking this cookbook so far. I've prepared about 10 recipes and they've all been delicious! Simple, easy directions, substitutions and how to for fast, healthy eating.

I wouldn't say I was an inexperienced cook . . . I'd say phobic. No, this might not be the cookbook for you if you're quite the gourmet and enjoy spending an hour or more in the kitchen to prepare a meal. But if you were never really taught how to cook and have spent most nights asking your partner, "Well, what do you want to do for dinner?" back and forth until someone orders delivery, then this might be just what you need.I love this book and its companion, EatingWell Serves Two. I seem to have two types of cookbooks: healthy (such as the Mayo Clinic) and quick/easy (as in cookbooks that advertise how few ingredients each recipe will use). EatingWell's Hurry cookbooks are the only ones that combine both.It's been a learning process for me. Sometimes I need to google ingredients (what are fennel seeds? Where will they be in the grocery store? What's a plum tomato?) or get new equipment (Where's the broiler pan? Oh, oops, I guess we don't have one), but that's a joy, because as I do these things step by step I know I am gaining knowledge and experience (and gear and ingredients).So let's face it; if I can do these recipes, then they are easy enough to be in some kind of cooking for dummies cookbook, and yet they are super tasty and I'm not embarrassed to serve them, even to people who aren't married to me.If I could be in an infomercial for these cookbooks I would. In my late 20's it was finally time for me to learn how to cook (and force myself to do it more than once a week), and I don't think I could have done it without these cookbooks.

Few recipes that appealed to me.

I was looking for a quick and easy way to prepare healthy meals, however a lot of the recipes took an hour or so, and that is still too long for me. Good food though!
