I am a huge fan of one pan dinners. I don't have a lot of time to put meals together so being able to make them all at once is huge for me. The bonus is that these recipes are healthy! This cookbook is full of recipes that I will use again and again. My family is excited to see what I will make next!

Excellent, easy to follow recipes! My family loved the Thai Chicken Lettuce Cups. I loved the one pan idea...it is a lifesaver on busy nights.

Loved this cookbook. That said the recipes seem balanced and thus healthy but if you're looking for a book that lists every calorie this might not be for. Overall I love this book.

After 4 plus months cooking dinner at home nearly every night due to the pandemic, I am desperate to change things up. If I can add variety and do less dishes, sign me up! This book does just that.

This book is perfect for a beginner cook or someone wishing to change things up. It's broken up by type of cooking such as sheet pan or slow cooker. This is perfect for planning and deciding if you have time to start cooking in the morning or if it's too hot for that oven.

Overall a well balanced cookbook that I will use again and again!

Thank you DK and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I prioritize eating a healthy, clean diet however I do not love to spend much time in the kitchen. I am always excited to look at recipes that are simple, easy and relatively hands-off. This was a great cookbook - lots of delicious recipes however with easy preparation. I look forward to trying the Kale & White Bean Soup.

Thank you, DK and NetGalley, for a digital ARC!

Loved this cookbook. That said the recipes seem balanced and thus healthy but if you're looking for a book that lists every calorie this might not be for. Overall I love this book. I've made four recipes so far and am loving the look of most of them. I absolutely love how the recipes are divided into how you cook them (sheet pan, skillet, etc) although I wish there was more of a divide between the multicooker and slowcooker (only because I own one and not the other). Wide variety or recipes so you can find something no matter how you feel that day.

This is one of those cookbooks which I will likely give as gifts this coming Christmas. It has great recipes and information. It is a beautifully done version of what you want most - easy, quick, healthy, and delicious recipes in an easy to navigate book. Strongly recommend.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author Dana Angelo White, and the publisher DK for the free ARC in return for my honest opinion.

Healthy One Pan Dinners: 100 Easy Recipes is a well curated recipe collection and cooking guide to one pan/pot/sheet dinners by Dana Angelo White. Due out 9th June 2020 Penguin/RH on their DK imprint, it's 160 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats. As almost always with DK's offerings, I was blown away by the detailed, clear, and solidly expert photography. Every photo is well rendered and easy to follow. The supportive text is also clear and spare.

The book follows a logical layout. The instructions presuppose no previous experience on the reader's part. The book begins with an introduction covering tools and supplies including different coooking vessels (most will already be on hand), pantry ingredients and staplest o keep on hand (ditto - they'll be available in a well stocked kitchen).

The recipes are arranged around the method of cooking and vessel used (sheet pan, etc). Each recipe includes serving yields, special notes (gluten free, freezer friendly, vegan, quick to prepare) and tips, and prep times. Recipe ingredients are listed bullet point style along with optional ingredients. All measurements are given in American standard measures only (there is no measurement conversion table included in the book, but it's a hassle not to have them included). The directions are given step by step, numbered sequentially. The nutritional information is given in a footer under the recipes and includes calories, fat, protein, sodium, and fiber.

The recipes' ingredients are easily sourced and the resultant dishes are family friendly and appealing to kids and adults. For cooks who are living alone or couples, very many of the included recipes are freezer friendly and could be adapted to fewer than the stated number of servings (generally 4). There are a number of these which will become weeknight staples for my family.

Four stars. Timesaving, nutritious, and tasty.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

This cookbook is easy to read and thorough. The table of contents breaks down the recipes based on the method of cooking--in other words, the type of pan you will use to create the dish. Each type of pan/method of cooking is discussed as to the different benefits, types of foods best prepared that way, and preferred brands, among other things. A list of essential, commonly used ingredients is also provided at the beginning of the book.

The recipes are easy to follow. They are relatively short and the language is understandable, so anyone can cook using this book. You don't have to be a professional chef to understand the instructions. Prep and cook times are provided, along with nutrition facts for each serving. There are many pictures throughout the book, showing off the delicious food you will be creating.

I look forward to trying many of the recipes in this book! The recipes are simple, healthy, and delicious! Thank you to #NetGalley for providing me a free copy of this cookbook in exchange for my honest review.

I would recommend this book to any family that is busy and has a lot of people to feed! The pictures were nice and I loved the overall layout of each recipe. Each one gave nutrition counts which I especially look for in all cook books. We really enjoyed the sheet pan pizza night, and plan on making that one again next month. Great recipes and food the whole family can enjoy!

I have a weakness for anything that says cooking in one pan. I cook regularly and I cook fairly elaborate meals often enough, but I want something that I can just throw into a pan or skillet and call it done. Preferably something baked.

This particular book had a lot of meat based recipes, which I can’t give an opinion on, because I’m vegetarian. But I can give an opinion on the sheet pan pancakes, which my husband cooked up for us when I was sick with a migraine. Hubby is not a cook. But he made this without my help. Other than the fact that we eat our food a little less salted than this recipe recommended, it was excellent and will be added to husband’s arsenal of recipes.

I can’t wait to try a couple of others that I’ve bookmarked.
