Get Togethers by Rachael Ray (2003, Paperback)

All her cookbooks are awesome!! This one is no exception!! She is funny and so high on life and she is just great!!

This cookbook is great for more than just get togethers. It is also perfect for weeknight meals--no matter the occasion. Like all of Rachael Ray's cookbooks, you can cook from cover to cover and not be bored. This one is a little different from her other 30 minute cookbooks in that it is arranged by theme. There are menus for all types of gatherings: movie nights, dinner dates, brunches, sports gatherings and 'smallidays.' None of the recipes are complicated, few use expensive or hard-to-find ingredients. My favorite recipe we have tried from this book is the Mussels in Mexican Beer. I'm not really fond of mussels in general, but this is truly excellent! My only complaint is that this book, like all of her other cookbooks, is a bit skimpy on pictures. There is only 1 small section near the beginning with about 8 pages of photos. I guess this helps keep the price down, but I prefer more pictures so I can see what the finished product is supposed to look like. This is a perfect cookbook to have on hand for busy weeknight meals or anytime friends or family drop by.

I bought this book for my sister. It is going to be a christmas gift. She is always calling me asking me how to make things. She really has never been that great of a cook. Now she is married and is trying to learn. Rachel Rays book I felt like would be the best gift for her to start with. I watch Rachel on TV all the time and everything she does is pretty simple and looks very yummie. This book has a lot of great things in it and all of it only takes 30 min. to make. That is good because my sister is also kinda lazy and does not want to spend a lot of time cooking. Everything in the book is written clearly and I think the instructions are pretty easy to follow. This would make a great gift for anyone who is trying to learn how to cook and that does not really have a lot of time or does not like to take a lot of time cooking.

Good cookbook. I was expecting more things that I could make for dinner, but it has given me some great ideas.

Rachel Ray has fun recipes. Simple with ingredients that you usually have on hand. Fast meals that are tasty and the children will eat them.

THIS COOKBOOK FEATURES. FUN MENUES FOR BRUNCHES, PARTY MUNCHIES, DATE DINNERS,HOLIDAYS,PICNICS AND MORE! RACHAEL RAY APPEARS ON THE FOOD NETWORK AS A HOST OF 30 MINUTE MEALS,ONE OF THEIR TOP-RATED SHOWS.

I bought a used cookbook on ebay. Not knowing what condition it was going to be in for such a low price my expectations were not very high. To my surprise the book was in great shape, gently used - no tears or stains. I look forward to using it and even better - I look forward to purchasing more books in the near future!
