Great tasting & easy recipes October 4, 2008
I had the opportunity to make 4 of the recipes so far in this book and put them in the freezer. Out of the 4 I will definately be making 3 of them again! They were easy to assemble and cooked up great!

Good CookBook September 23, 2008
this is a bit fancier than what I thought it would be, which makes assembly awkward if you are not used to wrapping things in pastry or phyllo. But there are enough other recipes that I am interested in trying that don't sound so difficult. I was surprised to find a recipe that I already knew in there...so I am guessing that a lot of them have been "collected" from other sources and maybe changed slightly. I noticed a section of dishes that are not freezable, which many reviewers are opposed to the idea of that being in a freezer book, but I think that some recipes are just way too simple to bother with freezing. It may be easier to whip it up from scratch, especially if it is something as simple as corn casserole, and it is likely a dish that is full of pantry staples and items you will likely have on hand. that is when it is valuable to add to a freezer cookbook. Also, I think that making some things fresh with your frozen meal makes it come together better. Not all the components of your meal have to be make-ahead. You will still save time. I like to have options when it comes to marinades and meats, so it didn't bother me the amount of them in this book. Overall I think it is a good cookbook, with some tasty recipes, and an incredibly easy to read format. All recipes are converted to larger portions in one place. The recipes are more up to date than the older OAMC books. Most recipes fit on one page, so if you wanted to put them in individual page protectors it would work well. The binding on my book is not great, and as a brand new book I have already begun to think about having it hole punched and put in a binder. So if there is a hardcover, I'd go that route.

Great Recipes! September 16, 2008
So far everything I have tried has been great! The recipes are very clear and easy. I like that it doesn't plan out every meal for you, you get to just look through and pick what you want. Works perfect for me even though I am only cooking for two. I can adjust the meal portions as I see fit which means I can make extra and pack for lunch the next day. We have saved a lot of money not having to go out and buy lunch everyday. It is also easy to make the recipes as healthy as possible by just using low fat low sodium ingredients. I am getting this book as a gift for family members for Christmas! I recommend it to everyone!

great book September 13, 2008
I get together with a bunch of friends once a month and we assemble meals to freeze for later cooking. The book is a great help to find awesome and delicious recipes the whole family, even with picky eaters, will like.

Can't wait to try the recipes...my daughter is going to be living off campus at college this semester and along with making meals for myself and husband I'll be making some for her. This cookbook will be perfect.
