Customer reviews

Simply awesome
I'm a 4th year college student and for the first time I don't have a meal plan. I have no cooking experience (other than scrambled eggs and cereal) and I suffered a full two weeks of bland taste and un-filling meals before I laid my hands on this book. Ever since, my meals are a bliss! By no means am I an expert cook, but now I can do all my shopping in one place and guarantee myself that I'll be able to make food out of it. My grocery bill is around $60/week using *mostly* recipes from this book (disclaimer: I only ever eat oatmeal for breakfast)

Terrific Book!
What a great little cookbook. Simple, but delicious recipes with all items bought from Trader Joe's. It's awesome. I tried two of the Mexican recipes and got raves from everyone that had it. I also did a shrimp pasta recipe with three ingredients and it was terrific also! My friend was so impressed she had me order her one also.

Less of a cookbook, and more of a shopping list
While there are some legitimate recipes in here, it's more of a shopping list for things that you can make for dinner. You'll still need to cook, but it's all about making cooking really easy. And it does a great job of that! If you love Trader Joe's, this book is great whether you're in college or not.
