Cookbook Reviews

"Your book is AWESOME! I have made over 30 different recipes in the book and love all of them (that usually never happens when I buy a cookbook). When I put a meal on the table for my family the first thing that goes through my mind is "what a masterpiece, I made that!" When does your next edition come out!"
-- Kim Jeter

THANK GOD I found your cookbook. I work full time and rarely get home before 6, which is my daughter's dinner time. I appreciate how fast and easy the recipes are. This book makes it possible for my family to sit down together for delicious, healthy meals. Wow!

I am not one to usually do this but Kudos are in order. I love your Six O' Clock Scramble cookbook. I have purchased other book with a similar outline but the recipes are duds compaired to yours. Your recipes have been a hit everytime with my husband and four girls, they are simple, healthy and most importantly YUMMY! I can't thank you enough for simplifying my evening cooking and for the nights when my husband looks at his Tofu with Peanut Sauce and gives me a big hug and kiss. Many blessing to you and your famliy (who I have gotten to know well through the book) Robin D. Cincinnati, OH

I love your cookbook! As a working mother of two very young children, this book has been a lifesaver for me in terms of meal planning and preparation. I literally whip everything up in the midst of getting home from work, picking up the kids, and keeping them occupied until we can sit down. Everything I've made has been delicious and I've already made several recipes a number of times. Kara H. Olney, MD

I've been using the cookbook for about a year now and LOVE it!! I never knew how to cook before, and I have been learning so much, just following the recipes and preparing delicious meals that my family enjoys. I was wondering when the next version is coming out??? Thanks!

Just wanted to say that I LOVE your book! It helps me keep my sanity! I love that it's not full of cream-of-something casseroles (yuck), and that it's healthy stuff, but still normal food. The tips on what to buy organic, along with lunch box options, are awesome.

I absolutely love it! The meals are organized seasonally, so you are buying and cooking produce that is fresh and readily available (and usually affordable). They are all quick and fairly easy. And the kicker? BOTH of my kids have eaten and enjoyed everything I have made from this cookbook. Do you realize how utterly insane that is? This is a busy mom's lifesaver.

I'm sure you get emails like this all the time, but I just have to add my tremendous and excited THANKS to you for your wonderful and most fabulous book. I love to serve home cooked meals (it's just me and my husband--how hard should that be??), but I LOATHE deciding what to make for dinner day after day, week after week... So I decided to just "cook your book"--meaning I'm just cooking every single recipe in order, by season, until we've gone through the whole thing. I'm keeping notes, of course, of our favorites, just for future reference, but I always joke to my husband--glad you liked it, but you won't see it for another year.

I'm also finding we save SO much money this way--I just buy all the ingredients on Sunday night or Monday afternoon, then don't have to go to the store again, except for fresh bread or produce, which was another reason I often resisted cooking. So we're eating out less, avoiding throwing together expensive last minute meals, etc.

We had the lemon-herbed chicken tonight, just as you wrote it up--complete with green beans w/ pesto and couscous. It was delicious! And of course I love how quickly these meals get onto the table too. I've met many a cookbook that was too complicated, contained too many ingredients to be reasonable for a weeknight meal, or was so poorly written I couldn't follow the directions at all. But that's so not the case here! And even though I love drooling over season recipes in various magazines, it's too much to try to plan menus with all these different scraps of paper.

Your book has changed our life SO MUCH for the better!!!

Sincerely, Kara P., Kirkland, WA

Since using your book, our week nights are stress free, and we find that we have more time for each other, and after dinner activities. It has brought organization and forward thinking back to our family, and we are all very grateful to your book!!! All my friends are now converts because they see how well making a menu and buying in advance has given us piece of mind.

I feel like we are waiting anxiously for the next Harry Potter book, and wondered when your next cookbook will be released, if you have plans for a "next". I feel like other family friendly cookbook just don't get it, and focus on crafty cutsy designs, and not on the actual meal. Your recipes are delicious, fast, and I really appreciate your side dish suggestions.

I want to let you know that I really LOVE your cookbook.   I gave my best friend a subscription to the Scramble a few years ago for her birthday.  Then I saw the cookbook one day at a little boutique store here in MN and had to get it for her for her birthday (in October).  She then turned around and bought me my own copy for Christmas two months later because she loved it so much and knew I would too.  We always call each other when we try new recipes to let the other know how it went over with our families.  It's been two years now and I think every recipe has been a hit!  It is so wonderful to have a "go to" cookbook that I know will have healthy, easy recipes as I plan out my menus. Thank you again!  Looking forward to the new cookbook!
