What our customer's say!
"not afraid to cook anymore", I wouldn't say I was an inexperienced cook . . . I'd say phobic. No, this might not be the cookbook for you if you're quite the gourmet and enjoy spending an hour or more in the kitchen to prepare a meal. But if you were never really taught how to cook and have spent most nights asking your partner, "Well, what do you want to do for dinner?" back and forth until someone orders delivery, then this might be just what you need.
I love this book and its companion, EatingWell Serves Two. I seem to have two types of cookbooks: healthy (such as the Mayo Clinic) and quick/easy (as in cookbooks that advertise how few ingredients each recipe will use). EatingWell's Hurry cookbooks are the only ones that combine both.
It's been a learning process for me. Sometimes I need to google ingredients (what are fennel seeds? Where will they be in the grocery store? What's a plum tomato?) or get new equipment (Where's the broiler pan? Oh, oops, I guess we don't have one), but that's a joy, because as I do these things step by step I know I am gaining knowledge and experience (and gear and ingredients).
So let's face it; if I can do these recipes, then they are easy enough to be in some kind of cooking for dummies cookbook, and yet they are super tasty and I'm not embarrassed to serve them, even to people who aren't married to me.
If I could be in an infomercial for these cookbooks I would. In my late 20's it was finally time for me to learn how to cook (and force myself to do it more than once a week), and I don't think I could have done it without these cookbooks.
"great tasting dishes for every night of the week", I love the Eating Well magazine and cookbook - but most of those recipes are too time consuming to do after work during the week. Here is the answer - great tasting dishes for any night of the week.
"excellent service; very good book", Checked out this book from public library and knew I had to have it. Highly recommend.
"Great cookbook", As a cancer survivor, I continually try to find tasty yet healthy recipes. (Trying to keep those free radicals at bay) This cookbook fits the bill, as well as the recipes being quick and easy for the most part.
"Flavorful, quick, and healthy", The book starts out with a brief section of instructions in case you aren't wholly experienced with home cooking. This includes planning ahead tips, grocery shopping tips, kitchen equipment you should have, how to approach your cooking, and even food safety concerns. Since there are plenty of inexperienced cooks who might be tempted to pick up a book of quick, healthy meals, this is a handy set of things to include.
Recipe chapters include dinner salads; soups & stews; vegetarian fare; chicken, duck & turkey; fish & seafood; beef, pork & lamb; sauces; sides; and yes, even desserts. There are also some notes on substitutions & equivalencies. There are multiple indexes: a comprehensive index as well as one of recipes that take only 20-30 minutes (most in this book take 45 or less) and one of family-friendly recipes.
I always have a hard time faulting EatingWell's other cookbooks for producing what I consider to be bland recipes, since there's a sizable audience for that kind of fare. However, I was incredibly relieved to find myself wholly enjoying the very flavorful recipes that we made from Healthy in a Hurry. There's a vegetarian chili that is surprisingly delicious, with a simple yet effective spice mix that adds a lot. Recipes range from the elegant (grilled lobster tails with nectarine-avocado salad) to the homey (chicken & white bean soup). These recipes make use of some wonderful international flavors to spice things up in recipes such as roast chicken dal and tandoori chicken with tomato-cucumber raita. The authors seem to have found a better balance between keeping the recipes simple (without using tons of ingredients most cooks might not have) while still interjecting flavor.
Many recipes include mouth-watering photos, and the recipe layout is clean, plain, and easy to make sense of.

"Not for an average Joe", Has some neat ideas and recipes but not for a larger family or for your average Joe. It uses a lot of ingredients that most have never heard of or can't get a hold of or wouldn't want to use anyway.
"The cookbook I turn to first", I have had this cookbook for several months now and it is the cookbook I turn to first every weekend as I'm planning my menu for the week. The recipes are easy to follow, tasty and easily fit into my current Weight Watchers plan. As a full-time working parent, I appreciate that these recipes do come together in <45 minutes and most can be made within 1/2 hour. My favorites are the cover recipe (a stir-fry with chicken, asparagus and pistachios) and the spicy beef with bok choy. I've tried so many other cookbooks (including other Eating Well Cookbooks). If I could only afford to buy 1 cookbook, this is the one I'd spend my money on.
"It's a keeper!", Since buying Healthy in a Hurry a couple of months ago, I have tried 10 recipes and every one of them has been a "keeper." It's obvious that the author and editors carefully tested each recipe in the book because the results have been outstanding. This cookbook has everything I was looking for - well-tested recipes that go together easily using easy-to-find ingredients and that deliver delicious, healthy results. It's now my favorite cookbook!
"My new favorite cookbook", I have amassed a collection of more than 30 cookbooks since I began trying to eat healthily and lose weight a couple of years ago. Since cooking was new to me, I needed cookbooks that were healthy but also featured easy recipes with ingredients I can find and afford. I have several favorite cookbooks, including some from the Weight Watchers label, but this one (the newest one to my collection), has now become my all-time favorite. Why?
1. It has thick, glossy pages and lots of color photos. That makes it a joy to flip through while you daydream about what to make next.
2. Everything I have made has been delicious. So far, I have made: Greek Lemon and Rice Soup (I added chicken thighs), White Beans, Spinach, and Tomatoes over Parmesan Toasts (I used kale since this was during the spinach scare), Tofu Cutlets Marsala, Sweet and Sour Tofu, Japanese Chicken-Scallion and Rice Bowl (couldn't be easier and tastes authentic), Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Creamy Chive Sauce (tastes like something you'd get in a nice restaurant), Almond-Crusted Chicken Fingers (the best chicken fingers I've ever had and super low in calories), and Honey Mustard Chicken (classic, updated with the addition of capers). Each recipe was great. No disappointments!
3. The recipes feature fresh, wholesome ingredients, and the food is truly healthy.
4. My husband, who also wants to eat healthy but doesn't need to lose weight, finds the food filling and the portions hearty. This stuff is not "diet" food.
I highly recommend this book if you want healthy, delicious food that doesn't take forever to make or require a long list of exotic ingredients and kitchen tools. Beyond the food itself, it's just fun to browse through.
"Delicious, Healthy Food Fast!", I love to browse through different cookbooks. I have quite a collection, and usually go to the library to find new recipes to try before I decide to purchase the entire book. I normally look for 3 things in a cookbook, besides delicious recipes that will work for my family. This includes: 1) Pictures of more than 3/4 of the recipes (Color pictures are the best) 2) A spiral binding, or at least one that easily lays flat 3) New & innovative recipes that have ingredients I can easily find at a grocery store
I also prefer if the cookbook lists all of the nutrient information including sodium, fat content, protein, fiber, and carbohydrates.
I picked up this book to find new ideas to make a quick meal in-between working and shuffling the kids to various sporting and school events. Let's face it, eating out isn't always the best for you, especially since you cannot always tell exactly how much fat or sodium you are ingesting. I wanted some new recipes to try, but not necessarily a dish that would have my kids eyeing it suspiciously and saying "what is it?". I was not disappointed.
The book offered many beautiful color photographs, and the pages themselves were glossy and thick...not the cheaper paper that many cookbooks use. All of the nutrient information was included, along with a column called "Nutrient Bonus" that lets you know if the dish contained a lot of Vitamin C, Calcium, etc. The book was hard cover, but the binding was loose enough that my copy easily lays flat, another good bonus so that I was not always struggling to keep my page open. It also contains a rather large vegetarian section.
Some of our favorites include: Seafood Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette, Bistro Beef Salad, Vietnamese Style Beef & Noodle Broth, Mock Risotto, Chicken Stuffed with Golden Onions & Fontina, Almond Crusted Chicken Fingers, Beer-Battered Tilapia with Mango Salsa, and Loaded Twice Baked Potatoes. Enjoy!
