Quality Recipes, Only Freezer Cookbook to buy

I purchased 4 cookbooks for freezer meals and this is THE BEST by far. The recipes are very tasty and there are many quality meals to choose from.

Super cookbook!

After trying two sessions with Dream Dinners, I decided to try a similar method "on my own." I have already made at least five of the recipes...all are really good! Clear directions and the books and suggestions really help with meal planning!

Certainly better than many other freezer cookbooks!

This book is excellent. There are many ideas for frozen meals that do not involve mushroom soup or casserole dishes, and the author lays out various methods for freezing food that result in maximum efficiency and ease of preparation when you finally decide to eat them! I have found the first chapter of this book very helpful no matter what recipe you decide to use, hers or others from other sources. A worthwhile purchase.

Finally, a cook-ahead method that's practical and yummy!

Say goodbye to boring recipes. This book as an amazing variety of entres, and many have a gourmet taste and appearance without bizarre, hard-to-find ingredients.

The best things about this book:

1) A very practical freezer method using bags instead of baking dishes or plastic containers. By using the freezer bags and "flash freezing" the food into various, stackable shapes, you can maximize your freezer space and make cooking or reheating the food easier later.

2)The majority of the dishes aren't cooked at all until after you defrost them. This makes them taste incredibly fresh on the day you serve them. You simply assemble them before hand, then freeze them in order to cook them later.

3) This method of cooking definitely saves time. By preparing multiple meals at once, you dramatically reduce your overall preparation time. Furthermore, you've got the convenience of getting a meal out of your freezer the night before, letting it defrost in your fridge, and then simply letting the oven do the cooking or reheating while you tend to your children, chores, or work.

4) Buying "loss leaders" on sale at the grocery store and cooking them in bulk really does save money!

5) The variety of recipes.

6) The flexibility. The author encourages you to change up the recipes according to your family's tastes and package them according to your family's size.

The worst things about this book:

1) It should be spiral bound so it can lie flat.

2) I'm a lover of free-range, grass-fed, antibiotic-free, hormone-free meats. Finding my type of meat on sale is rare, and buying it already cut (i.e. chicken breasts) is usually never cheap. Most of the chicken recipes call for breasts. A few can be adapted to use shredded chicken (what I've got if I buy the chicken whole from farmers), but most cannot. Perhaps I should just learn how to properly butcher a chicken.

Best Cookbook!

This cookbook is great! It has so many different meal ideas and the book tells you exactly how to freeze everything. It also tells you what you need to do on the day that you serve it. It is great.
