Just What I Was Looking For
This book is just exactly what I was looking for and I was not disappointed. I found the recipes down to earth, not needing extravagant ingredients. All the recipes tried so far have tasted very good. I started doing just one week in advance and building up to a month's worth. Good planning tips. Good shopping tips. All around good book, worth the money.

Wonderful Recipes
I have been interested in bulk cooking for quite some time. I have many books but this is definately the best. The recipes do not require any weird or special ingredients. I also like the section on appetizers and sandwiches. This book arrived right before my pregnant daughter broke her rib and I was able to fill her freezer in one afternoon! If you take advantage of sales, like I do you can cook many different entrees with the same protein. I highly recommend this cookbook for anyone interested in eating well and staying on or even below their budget!

This book is wonderful! It helps you organize the kitchen and refrigerator so that you can make meals efficiently and quickly, especially when we don't have time to cook half the time.

Time consuming, but well worth it.
This is an awesome cookbook. I have only made some of the breakfasts so far. (For me, breakfast is the most difficult meal to get my kids and husband to eat.) The recipes turned out great and they were easy to make and easy to alter to fit my family's tastes. I recommend this book to everyone! But, it is important to note that cooking in bulk means taking a few extra hours to cook and prep, but well worth the reward that lasts for days and weeks.

Eh: OK recipes, but pretty standard fare, all in all
I love once-a-month cooking: LOVE. IT. My freezers (yes, multiple!) are always stuffed with good things because we have insanely busy lives, so I am always on the lookout for good recipes and OAMC resources.

This is sadly not it.

There are some VERY good things in here - I have been particularly pleased with the recipes for things I would historically have bought a mix for (dried onion soup mix, etc) - but much of it is too reminiscent of things my Grandmother would've cooked and not refelctive of today's heathier diets. Many of the recipes felt like retreads, and I wasn't thrilled with the ways it's organised.

But it's a decent resource at a reasonable price for those who are just begining to experiment with OAMC and would like to have a base arsenal.
