Simple is Good

We always like getting savvy tips from our readers, and when one comes in on the topic of getting dinner on the table quickly and easily, we’re definitely paying attention.
Reader Susannah Musselman wrote to tell us about a cookbook she thought every mom should have called The Best Simple Recipes, written by the folks at America’s Test Kitchen. Susannah shared: “I’ve always been a bit intimidated by the long list of ingredients in some of their recipes, but this book was worth picking up because these recipes cook in 30 minutes and I know the authors have gone to great lengths to try different techniques to make them taste as good as possible. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.”

So of course we had to check it out and we couldn’t agree with her more. The book is subtitled ‘More Than 200 Great Tasting Foolproof Meals’—what more do you need to know, really? Using this collection of recipes, and with minimum effort, you can get a delicious dinner on the table pretty much every single weeknight of the year. It’s a great meal-planning aid, and most of the dishes work well for family dinners or dinner parties.

Thank you, Susannah.

We’d love to hear from you—what’s your favourite cookbook?
