 Rating:  - Good taste and healthy!I bought this book after trying the Dream Dinners and Don't Panic Dinner's in the Freezer cookbooks (which were both disappointing). This cookbook is great, and the recipes are tasty. I'm part of a meal swap club and the meals I have made from here have been big hits (Cheesy Chicken Rice, Roasted Red Pepper Shrimp, Chicken Enchiladas, and Cherry Chicken Jubilee). The meals are healthy, and flavorful. I'm not a big dessert maker so I can't vouch for the desserts, but I'm more than happy with my purchase. ...

One recipe makes only 2 1/2 cups of soup--freezer cooking for one?

I knew I'd get writer's cramp with this cookbook so I bought it! This is the 2nd Holly Clegg cookbook I've purchased -- I think they are that good. Rating: - Not the best 'Freezer' CookbookThis cookbook has lots of nice recipes and I like that it has the nutritional information. But I was looking for a freeze ahead cookbook and this book is disappointing in that regard. As far as I can tell all the recipes are precooked and then "cool to room temperature" and freeze. A few say don't precook but all the ingredients are precooked before the final assembly and cooking. This does not result in a very fresh tasting dish when reheated and in some cases was quite disastrous. I tried freezing ...
