Editorial Reviews: Product Description 30 Minute Meals Get Togethers puts the fun back in entertaining with recipes for anything from a date dinner to holiday party."'Hey, Come on over, let's get together,' says Rachael. 'Give me a half an hour and I'll whip up something yummy!'"When it comes

Customer Reviews: Read 22 more reviews... 30 Minute Meals Get Together November 17, 2008 Love the receipes, have already tried several. She doesn't have complicated steps, so cooking is fun! Unique Recipes for Unique Taste Buds July 8, 2008 While this is not my favorite Rachel Ray book, I have to give her props. She always manages to come up with unique recipes! Personally, some of these are a bit too much for me to try or have a taste for. But there are also some recipes in here that are easy and good for us average folks who just like seasoned chicken or pizza, although they are few and far between. The book is broken down into sections: Tips, Brunches and Lunches, Party Bites, Great Dates, The Big Game, Small-Idays and Dinner at Eight. There were some yummy recipes in each section, but more than I could count that I just wasn't interested in. Also many of the recipes had ingrediants that I wouldn't normally buy which makes it not something I'd really be into making. This is also a bit more simple cookbook, without the glossy pages and full color pictures, but it is also priced accordingly. Overall I'd say if you're a Rachel fan and you like recipes like lavash pizzas, cuban style pork, tuna burgers, mussels, and orange and almond couscous- this book may be for you. If you're like me and you're looking for more simple recipes for the average taste buds, you may want to search for another book of hers. An Early Cross Between Rachael Ray 2, 4, 6, 8 and Rachael Ray's Open House Cookbook March 6, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful Some will call this book Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 3. I beg to differ. In fact, Get Togethers is an earlier cross between two other superb Rachael Ray books, the recent 2, 4, 6, 8 (published in 2006) and the older Open House Cookbook (originally published in 1999 and reprinted in 2005). What are the main differences? In the Open House Cookbook, Rachael is mostly looking at parties, holiday gatherings, and larger dinners. Since this is an early book, it leans heavily to Italian cuisine and spiced up versions of traditional American fare. In 2, 4, 6, 8, the perspective is from a couple who occasionally add 2, 4, or 6 people for some meals or don't mind having a leftover meal. Get Togethers is also aimed at social occasions, but it has a focus more on the traditional sizes of serving 4-8. There are a few special dinners for two. Reflecting Rachael from 2003, this book is less based on Italian menus and provides more adventure in cuisines and seasonings. If you want to throw a big party, Open House Cookbook provides more choices. If you want to do something special for two, 2, 4, 6, 8 has more choices. I found the breakfast and brunch ranges in Get Togethers to be a limited, often built around frittatas and scrambled eggs. By comparison, the lunches are terrific for their range, imagination, and eye appeal. She also provides some excellent ways to provide snacks for cocktail parties and watching sports on television. Another section takes major holidays and provides fast ways to serve eight. In terms of 30-minute thinking, I'm sure Rachael can do all of these menus in that amount of time. I'm also pretty sure I couldn't do any of the menus for 8 or more in 30 minutes. But I'm sure I could be done in less than an hour. One of the best parts of the book comes in the beginning where she provides a list of prepared items you can use straight from the store and describes a number of ways to present your meal to dress up the occasion. The book had a number of excellent menus and recipes that I recommend including: Brunch alcoholic drinks; Southern comforts brunch; Tex-Mex brunch; Backyard bistro luncheon; Havana luncheon; Big burger lunch; High tea in low country; A dip in the Mediterranean; Snack attack party; Lite bites party; Seductive supper; Baja blowout; Seven samurai plus two; Meat and potatoes a deux; TV dinner for two; Express lane dinner date; Three cheers for chili; Couch coaches' nachos; Tailgate with gusto; Big wrap tailgate party; Halloween; Thanksgiving; Italian Thanksgiving; Everyday Thanksgiving; Happy Hanukkah; UK for a Queen; Cooking for 10 in 30; Night light; Positano dinner; Road to Morocco; Cooking for 10 in 30 Italian style; Cooking for 8 in 30 French style; and German heirloom. The small, but elegant, number of photographs display lovely ways to present the recipes. If you cannot afford to buy all three cookbooks, you'll probably find that Get Togethers will fit more of your entertaining needs than either of the others. Yumm........Yummmm......Yummmmmm....
