A cookbook, one that is helpful for those who want meal plan a week or two in advance. Information about planning and prepping your kitchen. The recipe set is basically the same for each one. It states the ingredients, how to make, then to cook the freezer meal and on hand for cooking each meal and pack it up items. There are different categories of chicken main dishes, beef main dishes, beverages, and others. There are images of the recipes to show you what they would look like when you make them. Feast tonight meals – light colour background. Recipes have some information about an ingredient or authors history with the dish. The recipes do seem pretty easy to do so it is not that hard for people to do one day a week and bring it out later. Reference at the back and shelf life of the items.

The Minimalist Kitchen by Melissa Coleman

So what the title would suggest, this is a cookbook for those wanting a more minimal or simpler way through one's kitchen and making meals. Which to me is making that move for some. There is in the introduction, information about minimalism and how to bring it into your kitchen. There is a checklist of produce, with a key of images of what season they would fall under being good in season. There are images of the recipes, so you get an idea of what they should look like. There is a good secretion of categories of items you can make – from breakfast to dessert. I liked the set and presentation of this book.

With each recipe, she shows you how long it will take and how much the recipe will yield. Of course, it has the ingredients and how to make it. At the end of each recipe, it will have a note and some have an ingredient tip. At the beginning of each recipe, there is a little statement she has for the recipe and way she would have it in the book or make it for herself and family. There is a seasonal produce guide and metric equivalents. The index is divided into two different sections – one being the recipe index and the other a subject index.
