Title: Very Satisfied!
Review: Semi-Homemade Cooking 2 is only cookbook I can honestly say my husband and I both enjoy using. Not everybody has time or energy to make the various pieces and parts of a main course from scratch and Sandra Lee's book does a great job of showing you what you can do with ready made ingredients and a little creativity. There are no extra frou-frou steps (like adding vegetables, etc. to make it look like there's more food on the plate) and the recipes are straight forward-- if you want a flavorful beef, chicken or pork main dish there are plenty of unique ideas for rubs and marinades. This is a cookbook for people who want flavorful food and can make their own side dishes instead of having a one-stop plate full of everything mixed together. If you're looking to enhance your gourmet cooking repertoire then you'll be disappointed, but for the rest of us who just want something that tastes good, these recipes are a great place to start.
