Review # 1 was written on 2016-08-22 00:00:00 Dave Rinaldi I enjoy reading cookbooks, and I'm always on the lookout for easy recipes (I enjoy cooking, usually, but I'm not a fanatic about it), and Betty Crocker books usually include a number of no-nonsense dishes that don't involve arcane ingredients. But this one is pretty much a disappointment. The subtitle is "Simple Recipes and Fun Ideas to Turn Mealtime into Quality Time," and the idea seems to be to increase "together time" by decreasing time at the stove, and by involving the kids in the food prep. Well, all my kids are grown and long gone, and I don't need to color lunch bags, personalize the pizza, jumping in the leaf piles, or telling stories about objects in the kitchen. There are themes, too: "Asian Night" includes egg rolls (buy them frozen at the store -- whoopee) and "Cantonese Chicken Chop Suey" (just chicken breasts, rice, and frozen stir-fry veggies). The rest of the book goes on like that -- ordinary dishes, old short-cuts, and lots of warm fuzzies. I'll pass.
