Summary: Brings "cooking ahead" to a higher level - simply superb!
Comment: A year ago I picked up a copy of "Table Talk" which is a book written by Mimi Wilson & Mary Beth Lagerborg. It impressed me both with the recipes and the ideas for dinner table activities and family get-togethers. I found it truly an inspiration and it has changed the way my family eats dinner and communicates. In the book "Table Talk" the "Once A Month Cooking" book was referred to. For a year I've looked for it in various bookstores and it wasn't until I became a customer of Amazon.com that I found it. A month ago I ordered this book. This past weekend I cooked for 6 hours and now have 17 meals in my freezer. It is truly a wonderful feeling to be organized an prepared for evening meals. Weekday evenings have become the hardest part of the day in our household due to dual working parents, and busy schedules for all. This method is so logical, efficient, time saving and stressfree - just buying the groceries was easier, even though I bought twice what I normally would. With a pre- written list and virtually no decisions to make at the grocery store itself, I was out of there in half the time! I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to put nutritious delicious meals on the table night after night with far less stress. This book is especially helpful for me because it allows me to prepare meals at a time of my choosing, when *I* have the energy to spend doing it, not when I have to pull something together after a tiring and busy day. Thank you thank you to both Mimi Wilson & Mary Beth Lagerborg for this book. By writing this book, and sharing this logical efficient method, you've provided a service that I can now pass on to my children, my husband and others.

Summary: Cooking Freedom!!
Comment: This book revolutionized the way I approach cooking. I never really enjoyed cooking before, probably due to the drudgery of thinking each day, "what on earth am I going to make for dinner tonight?" This book introduced me to the idea of cooking multiple meals all at the same time, thus reducing trips to the grocery store, reducing nightly meal clean-up (wash all those pots and pans at the same time!!), reducing food prep (ie. chop all veggies at the same time, cook all the beef/chicken at the same time, grate all the cheese at once), and reducing nightly stress!! As someone who enjoys efficient processes, I really got excited about the ideas in Once-a-Month-Cooking. So I tried my first two-week plan about three years ago. It took me two days to make 14 meals that lasted our family about a month. The recipes are far from "gourmet", but they give you great guidelines for the types of foods that can be frozen, and a we've made a couple of the recipes into family staples (the joes to go are GREAT as is the teriyaki chicken). I quickly decided that it wasn't most efficient for me to work with so many different ingredients all at the same time, so I tweaked their ideas into "chicken," "ground beef," and "spaghetti sauce" cooking days (doing this, I can crank out about 14 meals in half a day!). But the greatest part of this cooking technique that Wilson and Lagerborg introduced me to, is that I have discovered that I really do enjoy cooking. Now I cook WHEN I want to, and on the nights when I don't want to cook, I just pull some goodies out of the freezer!

Summary: Lo-Fat Menu had NO TASTE
Comment: This was the first OMAC book I tried. I was so excited that they had a low-fat entree plan so I made the whole 2 week menu. What a dissapointment!!!!!! I nearly gagged on the Mandarin Orange Chicken, and I was serving that meal to guests. The Split-Pea soup had no flavor and the recipe for Italian Tomato Sauce made everything it touched gag-worthy. I am so glad that I checked this one out from the library instead of buying it...a great dissapointment.
