Review
I love the cookbooks from Six Sisters. I have never had a “fail” from any of their cookbooks and they all call for normal ingredients and nothing too crazy. I have used some recipes over and over again and expect that to happen with this cookbook as well.
There are 100+ recipes from main dishes, sides, and desserts. I like that they even include a pantry staples list for what you would need to make their recipes (sans the meat if it is the main dish). Getting to the recipes there is a beautiful color photo of what the dish should look like when finished. I always like to see photos that way if mine dish has gone awry I can potentially figure out what happened. Now with only 6 ingredients that shouldn’t happen, but when it comes to desserts I have had some fails – like a lemon pie not setting up correctly. Another good use for the photos is to start your mouth watering while trying to figure out what to make!
I was happy to see a few slower cooker recipes to round out any that you cook in the oven. Some days I need to have something started in the morning because it is going to be a late night and this way dinner is ready when I get home. Perusing the recipes it looks like most take 30 minutes at the most to prepare and then add cooking time. That really isn’t too bad because while it is baking in the oven, that gives me time to make a side dish and a salad. There are even suggested side and dessert pairings with the main dishes.
We give this book 5 paws up and if you are looking for a cookbook that brings good dishes to the table fast, this is probably the one for you.
