What Others Say
Excellent Charts! Checklists! Makes it look easy!
I have purchased several once a month cooking books after borrowing them from the library. This is one of them. The organization, charts and checklists make the price of The Freezer Cooking Manual from 30 Day Gourmet: A Month of Meals Made Easy worth it alone.
The recipes are like another reviewer noted, are geared toward kids. My kids are grown and I have a busy job and a husband that had a heart attack three years ago. I cook ahead to make my life easier, but I have to take into account that my husband can't eat ground beef, etc. I have used The Freezer Cooking Manual from 30 Day Gourmet: A Month of Meals Made Easy and edited it with veggie ground beef, turkey sausage etc. It works just as well although I have to say I haven't gotten "up to" cooking for a whole month in one day. I don't have anyone to do this with so it's just little old me.

GREAT COOKING SYSTEM FOR ANY STAGE OF LIFE
I started with The Freezer Cooking Manual from 30 Day Gourmet: A Month of Meals Made Easy over 7 years ago when I was homeschooling my kids during the day and ferrying them to activities in the afternoon and evening. 30 day Gourmet allowed me to cook when it was convenient for me, freeze meals, and put a healthy, tasty, economical meal on the table on even the most hectic of nights. The recipes are family-friendly and the directions clear and complete. Now that the kids are in college I still cook and freeze. My husband is such a fan that he has started helping me on my cooking days. My kids enjoy having a few of their favorite meals "ala Mom" in the freezer of their apartments. I'm back to work, so there is always a freezer meal for me and my husband on those nights neither of us wants to cook, and I put aside a ... Read More
Pretty Good - Smaller than expected
This cookbook is rather thin and contains no pictures - I'm a visual person so that didn't appeal to me. It does contain wonderful charts to help you with planning and several recipies that sounded enticing. I'm glad I checked it out from the library first. I would have been disappointed to spend that much money on such a small book.
Comprehensive charts and good instructions
This is the best book to buy if you're just getting started, if only because of the exhaustive charts. I own a very early copy ('way back when they were sold in 3-ring binder format), and while not all of the recipes are to my taste, the charts allow you to use any freezer-friendly recipes you like in order to make up your month's worth of meals.
This is important because while there are other OAMC (or once a week) cookbooks out there with some pretty good recipes, a lot of them have you eating that same main ingredient (say, chicken) for the the whole week. Or, their shopping lists are only useful if you're making their entire menu for that shopping list (and no commercial cookbook could possibly have every single recipe be a winner). ... Read More
