What Others Say
Love the fact she broke this book into mini sessions by meat type!
I borrowed several freezer, cook once a month books from the library including this one. What the other books did which was totally unhelpful to me, was they listed several month's menus with shopping lists etc. What if you have a family member like I do that can't eat sausage, or red meat. Then you have to take their menus and revised them all and create your own shopping lists anyway. Not with Frozen Assets Lite and Easy: How to Cook for a Day and Eat for a Month. Everything is broken up into meat type, such as chicken, turkey, etc with the associated shopping lists for each mini session. That is a time saver in itself. Yes the book does have errors. But I bought this one and as I catch one I edit it myself. People usually do this anyway with a cookbook, adjusting it to suit a families likes ... Read More
Best Book on Cooking Ahead
I have looked at about 6 books on cooking ahead, freezing meals etc. I tried a few recipes in them, but I found this one to be the most logical/compatible with my lifestyle and methods of cooking. I like that everything is arranged by the kind of meat. It makes more sense to me (cooking for 8) to roast 2 turkeys and cut up all the meat and bag it than to buy several kinds of meat to prepare all in one day. I do a ground meat day, a chicken breast day, turkey day etc etc. I find, even if I don't assemble whole meals having meat cooked, cut and frozen in portions saves so much time when I get ready to cook dinner. I will be trying some of these recipes soon-I am glad they are lower fat.
Simple!!!!
This is a great book to help simplify your life!!!!! or at least dinner. I have tried around half of the recipies and enjoy the vast majority of them. It makes a busy life a little easier.
Its a so so cookbook.
I would not reccomend this to be your sole source for oamc recipies. Its good to have on as an addition, but to basic for me. It is very difficult to cook with, it is not hard back or spiral. Its paperback. There are better oamc resources out there.
Imperfect, but still worthwhile
Apparently not everyone wants to deal with cooking for a whole month at once, so Deborah's new book presents the mini-session: roughly 5 to 8 recipes all involving one central ingredient. You wait until that ingredient is on sale in bulk, buy a lot of it, and do one brief session. Stash some of the meals in the freezer, then do a different mini-session a little while later and stash a few more things away. If you still want to cook for a month at once, you just do several mini-sessions at one time.Because of this new format, she does not repeat any recipes within Frozen Assets Lite and Easy: How to Cook for a Day and Eat for a Month. Deborah also provides tips and hints for turning your own recipes into freezer meals or putting together your own mini-sessions.
