Product Description
Even your favorite dinner can lose its appeal when it’s in constant rotation, so mix it up! With her largest collection of recipes yet, Food Network’s indefatigable cook Rachael Ray guarantees you’ll be able to put something fresh and exciting on your dinner table every night for a full year... without a single repeat!
Based on the original 30-Minute Meal cooking classes that started it all, these recipes prove that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every night. Rachael offers dozens of recipes that, once mastered, can become entirely new dishes with just a few ingredient swaps. Learn how to make a Southwestern Pasta Bake and you’ll be able to make a Smoky Chipotle Chili Con Queso Mac the next time. Try your hand at Spring Chicken with Leeks and Peas and you’re all set to turn out a rib-sticking Rice and Chicken Stoup that looks and tastes like an entirely different dish.
As a best-selling cookbook author and host of three top-rated Food Network shows, Rachael Ray believes that both cooking and eating should be fun. Drawing from her own favorite dishes as well as those of her family, friends, and celebrities, she covers the flavor spectrum from Asian to Italian and dozens of delicious stops in between. Best of all, these flavor-packed dishes will satisfy your every craving and renew your taste for cooking. With so many delicious entrees to choose from you’ll never have an excuse for being in a cooking rut again.
How about a brand-new 30-minute dinner every night for an entire year?
Tired of making the same old same old, week after week after week?
With Rachael’s most varied and comprehensive collection of 30-minute recipes ever, you’ll have everyone at your table saying “Yummo!” all year long.
It’s amazing what a half hour can do for your tastebuds … 365 days a year!

 365 what September 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this book because everyone kept telling me how great Rachel Ray is. There were 365 recipes. It did appear they would be fairly quick to make. The problem was most of them were things my husband would never eat and several of them had ingredients we don't have nor could we find them when we asked in our local store. It may be good for someone else but for our meat and potato family it wasn't a hit.

I have picky kids and with a new baby it's easy to find meals that are planned out so easily and quick. Great book!!
 Tasteless! July 15, 2008

I USED to love watching 30 Minute Meals, but gave up on her years ago. I came across this book in the library and thought I'd give it a try--I should have know better. I'm just glad that I didn't buy it, I would have been so mad!
There are several problems with this book
1. Tasteless--I have made about 6 meals from this book. Even though they all call for enormous amounts of spices, the results are rather bland. Nothing has been down right disgusting, but nothing is worth repeating nor saving for leftovers.
2. Organization--There is none! Although it's nice to have a book filled with meal, there is no rhyme or reason to the way it's set up. Unless you know EXACTLY what you are looking for, good luck!
3. Ingredients--Every recipe calls for something that is a "specialty" item. It's annoying to have to go to 3 different grocery stores to get all the ingredients for a "fast meal." Doesn't make it so fast. So if you are cooking on the fly, haven't been to the store for a while, you will not have all the ingredients needed for a recipe.
4. Time--30 minutes? Yeah, right. Maybe after you've made it each week for 6 months. Lot of prep time that she seems to forget about.
5. Pictures--There are none! Ok, except for a few pages in the middle of the book showing about 10 of the 365 recipes. (The same pictures on the back of the book. They really spent the big bucks on publishing this book.)
6. Did I mention taste? Yeah, very bland food.
Returning the book to the library tomorrow without any regrets.

I like Rachel Ray. This book is easy to read and has a good variety of menus.
Fun, different but not necessarily 30-min meals July 10, 2008

I like the concept of no repeats but its practically impossible to do even for our household of 2-working adults w/ no kids. Some of them are somewhat intensive that I cant believe 30-min is the max. time for cooking - dont know if that includes prep time.
PRO: Master recipe with variations allow one to add different ingredients or make it vegetarian based on a core recipe; clearly written with well organized approach towards preparation (many can be done ahead of time to wait until final combination); use of different ingredients that what I'm used to - good for experimentation; well organized front index according to type (Burger, chicken, 1 or 2 people, fast suppers...); page notations to remind one "it's a keeper" or "Try later"
CON: use of heavy cream and lots of butter which can be challenging for watching ones calorie/fat intake; no nutritional value information provided; some ingredients, albeit unfamiliar, can be challenging to find in ones local area
Overall its a great book to find new recipes, experiment and break out of the old rut that I'm in.
