Simon & Schuster Cook Once Dinner Fix: Quick and Exciting Ways to Transform Tonight's Dinner into Tomorrow's Feast

I have all Cassy Joy's cookbooks and this one is the one I reach for most frequently! I love it because it gives me two of the meals I will make for the week (I usually choose 3-4 dinner meals each week to feed my family), and I know they will be different and amazing from the usual plain old thing! Cassy Joy really knows how to bring flavors together easily, using whole, fresh ingredients - something of great importance to me. I often find myself commenting that there is a flavor explosion in my mouth from her recipes! Why is the two recipe method so awesome? Well usually there is a bit more effort involved in cooking recipe #1, but since you also prep the meat for recipe #2 during that effort, recipe #2 ends up being super easy and quick! That's just what I need after a long day of work. YET, even though it is easy, it is just as yummy - and delightfully different from the first recipe. I can't say enough - I love, love, love this cookbook. It's THE MOST PRACTICAL cookbook that I own.

Love love love! If you’re in a dinner rut, or you need quick, delicious meals that save you time in the future as well this is your new BFF! Cassy has outdone it with this stunning book with photos of every single recipe (my personal fav!!) This is the book I’ll be reaching for time and again while I prep supper!

I loved the idea of this book as this is how I cook often - making extra of something to go in another dish later in the week. But the recipes are just so uninspiring, there were maybe 3 things that I thought ok yeah that sounds like an interesting idea. But I haven't made anything out of here yet. There are better cookbooks out there doing a riff on this theme, for me this was a waste of money

After going through a really tough time (pandemic etc) I know I’m not the only one that lost their desire to cook. But today when I got this cookbook in the mail I did a happy dance in my kitchen. It is wonderful! I have been looking forward to this cookbook since I pre-ordered it and let me just say, it delivers! The book itself and photography is gorgeous with easy to follow directions and dinner series divided up by protein (or vegetarian). So many amazing recipes and lots of options to tweak recipes to accommodate many diets (we are gluten free). I have followed Fed and Fit’s online cooking segments/stories and the recipes are always a hit in my house. I like to meal prep lunch and dinner on the weekend for my son and I. These meals are not only healthy and delicious but they are money saving because you are able to basically stretch the main ingredient/component and make two completely different meals. We are on a tight food budget and this book is a game changer! I loved her last cookbook as well, if you don’t follow Fed and Fit on social media or her website, I can’t recommend her recipes enough.

This book is genius!! A must have for a busy family or busy person wondering what to cook every weeknight. Enchilada pie was incredible, as well as many more recipes I have tried. Love the substitutions for each recipe as well to fit anyone’s dietary needs.
