6 forks out of 10
This book is an offshoot of the on-site cooking franchise popping up across the country (check them out at http://www.supersuppers.com/). I love the idea of the franchise because all of the prep work is done for you, but overall the cookbook misses the mark just a little.
There are a few really great recipes (Sam's Firestation Chicken, page 80, and Bread Pudding, page 134, will both be permanent fixtures in my cooking repertoire), but for the most part I found the recipes a little too... simple? Basic? Not sure of the exact right term here, but to sum it up, they need a little more "something". If you're a beginning cook or not too comfortable with your skills in the kitchen, this is the perfect book for you. The recipes are straightforward, easy to follow, and the side dish and dessert recommendations are spot-on. For the more advanced cook, you may find the recipes need a little tweaking to suit your personal tastes.
Side note: Each recipe makes one entree. Obviously you can increase the recipe as needed, but if you're really looking to stock the freezer, it might be a pain to multiply every recipe.
