How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we donโ€™t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was book was written for me- a busy, uninspired in the kitchen mom!
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on August 1, 2022

I opened this book and after reading all of the recipes, I felt like the book was written for me! Delicious, easy, healthy recipes for a busy mom who doesnโ€™t love being in the kitchen but needs some inspiration- THATโ€™S what this book is all about- and itโ€™s awesome! Plus, THERE'S A SHOPPING LISTS, as well as a list for pantry staples. That makes it so much easier to organize meals and shopping! Hallelujah!

I also appreciate the food is not just American dishes. It's important for our family to have exposure to all kinds of foods. So far may kids have loved the Korean Beef and Rice Bowls w/cucumber and kimchi and the Easiest Teriyaki Chicken with snap peas. SO good!!

I am so grateful for these recipes and look forward to getting out of a family meal rut!

I love it so much, I bought it for a few friends for birthdays! Spreading the joy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing cookbook with low prep recipes
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on October 5, 2022
Verified Purchase
What an amazing cookbook (and I am not a huge cookbook person). The ingredients aren't fussy. The prep work is practically non-existent. I want to make so many more of the recipes! So many practical and smart suggestions to save time and money when shopping (really appreciate that section). Best part is that my children have loved pretty much everything so far. Both kids are obsessed with the skillet smores and the lasagna soup. If you are needing some fresh ideas for simple but tasty meals, this is your cookbook!

These recipes check all the boxes.
* Almost all pantry staples (or easy subs - like soy sauce for amino acids)
* Healthy!
* Easy!
* Fast!
* My kids will eat them
* I don't feel like I'm eating kid food!

Truly what else do you want? Great book, accurate photos, love this.

Iโ€™ve been a die hard fan of Everyday Maven for years! I can always find delicious healthy foods for me and my family. This cookbook takes it all up several notches! The simplicity of the recipes combined with the complex and robust flavors keeps us all happily fed and involved in the kitchen. Not only are we making great meals, itโ€™s added to family time since my daughter can easily participate :) So many favorite recipes but I have to point out the Chicken Bruschetta, perfect for summertime and outdoor dining.

I am a senior who has cooked and baked delicious dishes for many years. As I am getting older, I still want to cook but quickly and effortlessly. The "I Don't Want To Cook" book is like a dream come true. I can make wonderful and delicious meals in no time at all. The recipes are fabulous and represent various cuisines. I can only say that this book is a Home Run. Looking forward to your next book! Can't wait!!

This is a great cookbook for those of us who are not thrilled about cooking at the end of a busy day. The cookbook is laid out well with good tips and substitutions so you can use what you already have on hand. The recipes are well written and easy enough for my 12- year old daughter to make without too much help. Most importantly, everything we have made from it has been delicious and healthy! This has been our go-to cookbook since we got it!

life is BUSY and who doesn't want simple and healthy ideas for meals. Knowing that every recipe in the "I Don't Want to Cook" book has been tested by another busy mom. My kids gobble up the meals, in fact my youngest immediately grabbed the book from the counter and said, ohhh "mom I want to help cook". I call this book a WIN WIN for everyone.
