A farmstead full of animals, plus acres of woods and gardens, to take care of... sometimes meals get rushed or are afterthoughts.

Dinner is stressful for me, thinking about what I can put together in less than an hour especially running around with the kids from one class to another. This book might give me some ideas and ease my mind.

We are renovating our 150 year old seaside home and living in a rental with a beautiful kitchen. Every time i go to grab my favorite pot, pan, implement or ingredient i realise it is packed in our storage pod until next summer! So simple and streamlined is the way to go! Also I’m vegetarian so always looking for new ways. 🙏🏽😘🙏🏽

I need this cookbook! We’re doing a 4+ month renovation where my “kitchen” will consist of 1 hot plate, a counter top oven and a microwave. This sounds like the perfect book to get me through this time!

My 10 yo daughter could use an easy cookbook as she's now responsible for a meal a week for the family. This one sounds like a good one. Thanks for the recommendation.

I’m staring at a massive collection of well-loved cookbooks, yet constantly questioning what to cook for dinner! A new cookbook - with the promise of easy dinners - is just what I need to get re-inspired and continue to cook nightly for my family.

My daughter is just getting into afterschool activities, leaving some days with less dinner-making time. This book looks like it has interesting, flavorful recipes.
