What Others Say
Love it
Can't wait to try the recipes...my daughter is going to be living off campus at college this semester and along with making meals for myself and husband I'll be making some for her. This cookbook will be perfect.
Very useful book!
Great recipes using common ingredients. The recipes give portions for various amounts, which is helpful, and instructions are broken down into Freezing Day and Serving Day. My husband has like every meal I've made from Don't Panic - Dinner's in the Freezer: Great-Tasting Meals You Can Make Ahead!
Rehashed and Below Expectations with too much branding
I had moderate hopes for this guide and cookbook. However, the recipes are fairly blah. The freezing instructions make sense, but are largely just gloss and can be found on the internet for free. Also, there are very few recipes in the book. I'm not saying that the book is bad or poorly written: it's simply not good. My final complaint: Don't Panic.. has too much brand name dropping and product placement. We've already paid for the book; quit shoving brands in our faces.
One of the best cookbooks ever!
Before becoming a stay at home mother, I was employed for four years as a chef. I have seen a lot of cookbooks come and go. Most had a few good ideas and a handful of useful recipes. This cookbook is incredible.
It has a lot of "regular people food" in it. The sort of stuff that is not too boring nor too fancy. Just basic and very good recipes. It is perfection.
In addition, the authors did conversions in case you want to prepare larger quantities (great for parties or larger families).
I purchased this cookbook because I was looking for recipes I could prepare ahead of time. I wanted recipes that went beyond the standard and unhealthy casserole variety. Don't Panic - Dinner's in the Freezer: Great-Tasting Meals You Can Make Ahead has what I wanted.

Great book for busy mom's and dad's
We love Don't Panic - Dinner's in the Freezer: Great-Tasting Meals You Can Make Ahead. We used to do Dream Dinners before we moved to Iowa. We liked Dream Dinners, but find Don't Panic - Dinner's in the Freezer: Great-Tasting Meals You Can Make Ahead even better. The Lemony Flank Steak and Oriental Chicken were a huge hit. My husband loves these recipes.
