Summary: Great Money-Saving Book, But Poor Editing!
Comment: I read about this book online and then checked it out from the library to see if I would actually like the recipes. I DID like the recipes (more importantly, so did my son and husband, both picky eaters) so I bought it used here at Amazon.
The book has revolutionized the way I approach dinner and cooking in general. I'm not a very organized person, but when you have five pounds of ground beef in your fridge, you learn to be. I split up the "mini-sessions" and just made the meals that sounded good to us. WARNING: Most of the recipes are onion or garlic heavy, so if you don't like either of these ingredients, this book is not for you.
There is a vegetarian session, tofu sessions, chicken, turkey, ground turkey, beef, ground beef and bean sessions. We're on our fourth "cooking day" and still have not tried all the recipes. (White Chicken Chili is my favorite!)
WARNING #2: The book, while a lifesaver, is not well-edited, as others have mentioned. Wrong measurements for ingredients, omitted ingredients from the recipes or shopping list and there is one recipes that says "bake for 1 1/2 hours" but it doesn't tell me at what temperature!
Overall, a great book, but read carefully and exercise your own culinary judgement!

Summary: Look really good
Comment: Ok, I haven't acutally made anything in the book yet but....the recipes look tasty, not the cream of whatever soup casserole type at all. Unlike other another freezer cookbook I have, these recipes have a variety of spices and non casserole presentations. I really like the idea of the "mini sessions" where several recipes of the same type are grouped together. That way freezer cooking doesn't have to be so overwhelming and you can make things according to what's on sale.
I was satisfied with the 'Healthyness' of the recipes...they are not for hard core low fat cooks, but for most of us who are trying to eat better they work. There are 3 Vegetarian sessions, a Bean session, and a Tofu session to cut back on that red meat consumption and save us from chicken overload!
I did spot a typo on the amount of chili powder in a recipe and another with dry mustard. I plan on asking about them on the website given in the book. I will just be a little wary when making the recipes. In spite of this, I am very satisfied with this book.
It is just what I was looking for in a freezer cookbook!

Summary: Love this cookbook!
Comment: Love this cookbook! Everything's been great and the method is a life saver. Last night I tried the Chicken Tortellini Soup from Frozen Assets Lite and Easy. It was wonderful! I think we found a new family favorite.
