Evening life saver!
Love this cookbook so much! Perfect cookbook for my season of life. All the current cookbooks I have are nice but the ingredients and pages of instructions was alot at the end of the day! I started getting anxiety when it came to dinner time because I was so exhausted at the end of the day and the last thing I wanted to do was cook a main dish and sides with tons of steps. I am a good cook but I needed things to be simplified in this area for times sake. This cookbook has taken away my anxiety and evening stress, all the meals have been SO yummy and easy!!! My family has loved everything I have made from this book.

Such a great cook book!
I absolutely adore anything Emily Ley so I couldn’t pass up the chance to get her cook book. I do enjoy cooking but it’s such a task to figure out what to cook every single night. Her cook book has some delicious meals that are so simple to make. I have some picky eaters and even these meals appeal to them.

A practical and easy cookbook!
As a huge fan of Emily Ley’s books, I couldn’t wait to get her new cookbook!There are recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and desserts. Each recipe is very practical and easy. Majority of the ingredients required for the recipes are ingredients that are normally in my pantry!The pictures are beautiful and a plus if you like visuals when trying a new recipe.I appreciate the little tips and suggestions, like alternatives to some ingredients or what temperature to cook certain foods.I love this cookbook and can’t wait to try more recipes!

Simple and fine
I really like this cookbook. I preordered it and was excited when it arrived. All the recipes seem to be less than 6 ingredients. The only thing is that some recipes are so simple that I’m surprised anyone would need a recipe to make them. I’ve made like 4 recipes in the 5 days I’ve had it. Most have been fine – nothing amazing so far, but it’s fed my family in an easy way and made meal planning easy, so that’s a win.

Great buy for busy moms
Love this cookbook. Easy recipes that the kids and whole family like. Not many ingredients needed for each recipe and short cooking times- which is great for busy moms trying to get dinner on the table quickly and easily! We are trying to make 1-2 recipes a week from the cookbook, many which will be on our weekly rotation.

Beautiful and simple
This cookbook is beautiful and thoughtfully laid out. The photography is lovely and I appreciate Emily’s approach to the organization of it. It includes very simple recipes, which would be great for many people, including those starting out in the kitchen. A great place to search for ideas when in a dinner rut and needing ideas that are family-friendly. My tween enjoyed going through and picking out recipes and helping make them.But, for me personally, it seems a bit too simple. I have been cooking for myself and my family for over 20 years and have become decently proficient in the kitchen. Many of the recipes seem too simple and not really necessary to put in a cookbook. But I can appreciate Emily’s goal and how this would be helpful for many busy families or newbie cooks.

Sad to see so many recipes with processed foods.
I know this is a cookbook to make getting meals on the table easy, but I was so disappointed to see the cans of soup and so many processed foods in the recipes. I’m going to be returning the book. Easy and flavorful can be done with better quality ingredients.
