Review #1: kids love it
2007-03-22 
As a mother of a 5 year old and three year old it is sometimes a challenge to find recipes the whole family loves. This book delivers! Everything I make out of it they love. Especially the cream of asparagus soup. How often does a 3 year old "love" asparagus.
This book makes it easy to feed my family healthfully. I also love that the book is organized by seasons. It allows me to take advantage of the produce in season and on sale! So it's a budget saver too.

I have had alot of success with the 'Everyday Food' recipes I've tried from the magazine, and can't wait to try more of the ones listed in the book.

Review #4: EXCELLENT COOKBOOK - IMPRESSIVE & BEAUTIFUL
2007-03-16
I haven't started cooking out of this book yet, but I have read every single recipe. The book is totally impressive....with luscious full page size pictures of all the dishes, preparation time stated, simple format, nutritional info and extra tips. It has it all. I predict this will be a huge HIT! It is unique and the gourmet recipes in the book do not take long to prepare at all....thus the name Great Food FAST.
Review #5: I Love This Book!
2007-03-13
Having subscribed to the magazine since issue #1, I was sad having to give all my back-issues away due to a move. I was so happy to see this book which is much nicer than the magazine - no advertising! The layout is very smart. Each recipe(except for some side dishes)has it's own page with a full photo on the opposite page and divided into Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter sections which is very practical for cooks who shop seasonal, like myself. One can write their grocery list directly from each seasonal section. I've never seen the TV show, so I can't say if these recipes where ever shown on TV, but they do include the nutritional data for each recipe at the back of the book. Simple basics like how to boil rice etc., is also included at the back for quick review. The Tomato and Olive Penne, on page 244, has become a household favorite.
