Good CookBook
Customer Rating: 
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.
