But what if you don’t have even 30 minutes? No worries, Rachael has you covered with her quickest-ever 15-minute meals. Why order pizza when you can have Provencal Tuna Melts, Italian Surf ‘n Turf Salad- even a fabulous paella- on the table in just 15 minutes? You’ll never reach for the take-out menus again when super speedy Pea and Parsley Soup with Canadian Bacon and Skillet Tamale Pie are the delicious alternatives.
And what about those days when you want to slow things down a bit? Rachael’s got the perfect recipes for those times, too. Her 60-minute meals like Paprika Chicken Stew with Potato Pierogies, Chicken, Corn and Tomatillo Lasagna, and Swordfish Rolls with Spaghetti Squash don’t require any more effort from the cook, but they tale advantage of a little extra time in the oven or simmering on the stove to develop those great, deep flavors we all crave on lazy days. Among these dishes are some of Rachael’s “Double Duty Dinners,” recipes that you cook once, serve twice, but look and taste so different that no one will be the wiser (such as Chicken in Creamy Mushroom Sauce with Chive Egg Noodles in which the base magically morphs into Tarragon-Tomato Chicken and Bread Soup another night).
You’ll also fine fun Rachael Ray signature meals like:
BLD (meals you can eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner)
MYOTO (Make Your Own Take-Out Meals) that feature ethnic flavors but no mystery or fats
Date Night Dinners and Fancy Fake-Outs that are every bit as elegant as the fare from your favorite little bistro
The Kids Will Eat It meals (besides chicken nuggets) that will bring even the pickiest eaters to the table
This is Rachael’s most versatile book yet, the one that will help you get the very most out of every minute you spend in the kitchen- whether you’re rushing to the beat of the clock or taking advantage of a little extra time to stop and smell the veggies roasting. Either way you’ll be dishing up some of Rachael’s most appealing recipes ever- and all on your own schedule.

I bought this book for my mom because she loves Rachel Ray. She also loves to cook, but often runs out of meal ideas and time-so this book came in handy. However, some of the meals are not 30 minutes, so make sure you pre-read the recipe a day in advance to make sure you have time the next day. Plus, everyone has different tastes depending on where they live, so some of the recommended ingredients were substituted for other ingredients and/or taken out completely. When you cook, you know how to make a good meal-better. So this review is based on my mother's experience and her advice.
Edited Review:
Overall, the book is nice for meal ideas, but a little long winded.
I do agree with the first reviewer in that Rachael tends to repeat a lot of the same ingredients and types of recipes. I also think that she should be branching out into more "gourmet" style recipes that don't betray her focus on simple, fresh, easy food aimed at the home cook. I think that if anyone can do that it would be Rachael, and I hope she does.
I also agree that there should be more photos in the book. At least if the recipes get repetitive the photos would make for something new and interesting to look at for those of us bored with the lackluster format. Perhaps her books wouldn't feel like just a rehash of the same old stuff if she only came out with cookbooks when the inspiration hit instead of timing it with the holiday gift season. Perhaps "Just in Time" refers to her having once again gotten a cookbook to print "just in time" for the holiday season!
I think that in the future Rachael should include slimmed-down versions of some of her more popular recipes, plus new more "figure friendly" (sorry, couldn't resist!) recipes. And really figure-friendly, too! No gobs of cheese, oil and cream! Now that Valerie Bertinelli has lost 30+ pounds on Jenny Craig and joined Rachael's talk show as a content buddy, I think this new addition would be both timely and in demand with Rachael's audience.
In spite of all my criticism I like the book very much. I don't own all of her books (although I have seen all of them in depth) so perhaps that's why this doesn't feel old to me. My mouth is already watering thinking about trying some of the recipes!
