But this book is not just for families of 5 or more. The author knows that not everyone wants to, or can, spend an entire day in the kitchen. That's why she cleverly includes how to cook for a week instead of a month. Less time in the kitchen, yet you'll still reap the benefits of preparing meals ahead of time. Also, for the single person, she'll show you how to double your meals and how to pack away those leftovers for yet another supper.

This book is filled with information on how to get started, grocery shopping tips, worksheets, marvelous meal plans, and tons of recipes. Deborah walks you through step by step how her day progresses when she cooks for the day. She offers helpful tips to keep the stress level down, such as playing calming music and taking well deserved breaks. The author has created a fabulous resource, one that should be on everyone's cookbook shelf.
