Don't Panic - Dinner's in the Freezer: Great-Tasting Meals You Can Make Ahead

Before becoming a stay at home mother, I was employed for four years as a chef. I have seen a lot of cookbooks come and go. Most had a few good ideas and a handful of useful recipes. This cookbook is incredible.
It has a lot of "regular people food" in it. The sort of stuff that is not too boring nor too fancy. Just basic and very good recipes. It is perfection.
In addition, the authors did conversions in case you want to prepare larger quantities (great for parties or larger families).
I purchased this cookbook because I was looking for recipes I could prepare ahead of time. I wanted recipes that went beyond the standard and unhealthy casserole variety. This book has what I wanted.
I use this book so often, it never gets returned to the shelf.

We love this book. We used to do Dream Dinners before we moved to Iowa. We liked Dream Dinners, but find this book even better. The Lemony Flank Steak and Oriental Chicken were a huge hit. My husband loves these recipes.

I thought this book would provide good recipes for complete meals you can prepare ahead and freeze. It is recipes you sort of do half way and freeze and then you still have to thaw and finish cooking when you want to make them. To me that is just making a mess and dirtying pans twice for no apparent reason. I wanted ideas for good homemade frozen dinners my hubby can pull and reheat for he and our daughters while I am away on business trips.

There are some good recipes here, most require up to an hour plus thawing to "finish" the night you want to use them.

This book provides quick and easy recipes that do taste good when thawed and cooked. A must have for anyone on the go.

I love this book. I tried one or two others and they just don't compare. The meals are delicious and easy to make. My husband is very picky and difficult to cook for, but he loves everything I've made from it. Other books have you cook twice, once to prepare the meal before freezing and then again when you're ready to serve it. This one has many raw meals, so you prepare the seasoning/sauce and freeze it all then you only cook it on the day you are ready to eat. Very easy to use with great info and tips on safe and effective freezing.
