The Best Simple Recipes offers more than 200 full-flavored easy-to-prepare recipes that can be on the table in 30 minutes or less in an easy-to-read paperback format.
Just because time is short, it doesn’t mean you have to settle for a can of soup or a sandwich for dinner, or making one of the many boring and flavorless fast recipes (which often aren’t even as fast as they promise). Our test cooks have created more than 200 recipes that keep the ingredients and cooking time to a minimum and offer tons of flavor and plenty of variety.
By combining steps, minimizing pans, and employing a little test kitchen trickery, our test cooks have made naturally fast recipes even faster, and they’ve made recipes that traditionally take hours ready for the table in half an hour. And while they used a minimum of ingredients, one thing they didn’t minimize was flavor.

10 stars!
My whole family is in love with this cookbook. My 14 year old was so excited to sit down to dinner last night. My husband picked a recipe and bought the ingredients for it, I came home and had a blast making it! (His arm is in a sling right now, kind of glad or he would have made the whole meal himself. lol) My adult kids are planning to come over and pick meals we can make together. I told my husband Iâm so tired of how boring online recipes are. I want to have more fun in the kitchen and make food Iâm excited to try that doesnât call for cream soups or standard one sheet pan meals. All the recipes look amazing in here. Iâm excited to build my confidence making fish and pork too! I love that the recipes give some technique and specifics too! This is such a great cookbook!!!Update: we just keep loving this cookbook. Everything turns out so beautiful and flavorful. My son and daughter both asked me to send them recipes to make with their spouses. We were all cooking from the same book, the same night and send pics to each other. Everyone loved what they picked. Get this book and have fun!

They must be listening because this book is BEAUTIFUL!
OK I’ve had a chance to go through it, I haven’t read it cover to cover as I will eventually but I did spend some time with it today.First thing I noticed was the size…….WOW I LOVE IT! It’s THE PERFECT size. It isn’t large like the Best Of series. It’s probably 7 inches by 8 inches, I really do love the size.Secondly, as I flipped through the book I noticed IT’S FULL of color pictures. Not just small ones that focus on a technique, but FULL PAGE color pictures of finished dishes. Much more than we’ve seen in the past. Not just a couple of sections in the book, know what I mean, a lot through the entire book.Third, the quality of the pages. WONDERFUL! Heavy,glossy, quality pages. Not whimpy flimsy like the ATK Family ring binder book.Finally, the content. Are these new dishes? Um…….nope, but really did you think they would be? 🙂 They are BASICALLY the same but changed up a bit. And who knows, maybe there ARE new recipes. I only have two Best Of books, the 30 Minute and Skillet Meals books and frankly, they don’t inspire me and have looked through them a few times. I know the content is good if I just take the time to read it but I am visual. I need to be inspired to cook something and I think that’s why I LOVE this book. It’s very visual, has a lot of pics, and some great recipes.Here’s the break down in Chapters:IntroductionSoups and StewsSaladsPoultryBeefPorkSeafoodVegetarian (not a lot thankfully)Hot Off The GrillPastaPizza and SandwichesStir-Fries and Curriesand then the Index…..Really, I have to say I LOVE this book. I’m a huge ATK fan so you have to take that when considering what I’ve written.I have A LOT of cookbooks. And I use them. Of all the times I’ve cooked with a cookbook ATK recipe’s are the ONLY ones I’ve been asked to share the recipe for. I’ll continue to purchase their books until they cease to print them.I can’t think of a negative thing to say about this book, my only complaint in the past with their “Best Of” series would have been the size and lack of colored pictures, they just aren’t ‘pretty’ books. Well ATK must be listening because they have changed it up completely and as a result, there are no negatives with this new book. It’s a keeper!

Excellent recipes and quick to prepare
Originally checked this cookbook out of the library and liked many of the recipes so decided to purchase it about a year ago.The first recipe I made and still one of my favorites is Chicken and Spinach Farfalle, the light lemon cream sauce makes the dish.Also, like the tips and product recommendations in the book.However, I will the book had a spiral binder as it is hard to keep a specific page open when cooking. Also, there are no Nutritional information for any of the recipes.

Perfect for working families that need quick, simple recipes! Love this book!!
I am not a good cook by any means. I can bake, but when it comes to cooking I either over-cook or under-cook, or it just comes out a mess. This book has been awesome! It has simple directions and gives good detail on timing – which is the hardest part for me!! The way it’s written is easy for beginners to understand without being overly wordy or “dummied down” for those that are more of a proficient cook. They use mostly ingredients I already have in the kitchen. If I am missing something, the recipes are usually simple enough that I can swap out an ingredient easily for something I have without ruining the entire dish. So far my husband and I have both been really impressed by these recipes. Now if only there was an easier way for me to have all of this information when I go grocery shopping to generate my list for me…Update: we have now had this for a few months and have been able to try a bunch more recipes out and haven’t found a single one we don’t like. My favorite so far has been the fish tacos (better than i’ve ever had in any restaurant!) Plus I was the one who found this cookbook, but now my husband acts like it’s his cookbook because he likes it so much. This coming from someone who used to hate cookbooks and he never understood why anyone would use one. Well i think he gets it now. I even recommended a substitute for something we didn’t have in the pantry and he had to go to the grocery store to get the exact item because he wanted to make it exactly how the recipe said. My how he has changed his tune.

Gosto muito desse livro. Tenho vários da ATK, mas esse em especial tem algo muito valioso: receitas práticas, deliciosas e que podem ser executadas num dia de semana com pouco tempo e ingredientes fáceis.

I work full time and also often have work in the evenings but I still want a homemade dinner on the weeknights. This book has been perfect for me and my boyfriend and the recipes really do get to the table in about 30-40 minutes.My favorites so far have been the Thai Curry and the Chinese Orange Beef. Really great flavor, easy prep, and lots of interesting dishes to choose from. I have a lot of America’s Test Kitchen books and I think this one is now my favorite.The only downside is that the recipes are all “full-flavor” which means more fat and calories, it’s not excessive but I usually cook from the healthy or calorie reduced books. It’s the only thing that prevents me from cooking from it every single night.
