This book has tasty sounding recipes and the author is likeable. I'm pretty sure I must have watched his season of Top Chef but I don't really remember him. The recipes do sound generally creative and healthy-ish. They are very heavy in wheat, especially hard to purchase gluten free items like Hawaiian buns that he uses in lots of dishes. They also lean towards very high carb and no nutritional information is provided for any of the recipes, so it's not a book that I can really cook from. Photos are provided for some but not all recipes (maybe 1/3 if I recall correctly, but that's a wild guess). The author's sister is vegan so there are a few vegan recipes, but the majority rely on lots of animal products. For those who eat the Standard American Diet, this will be a fun step up without a lot of extra work.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

4/5

I really enjoy this book. So far I have made the loaded applesauce muffins and they taste soooo good (almost like little carrot cakes as advertised).

I would recommend this book, but I did have some problems with the e-book format and would recommend one gets this book as a physical copy.

This cookbook was made for me. The list of ingredients easily found in my pantry, they are quick and easy to make and they are kid friendly if you have helpers in the kitchen. recipes cover Turkey Reuben Meatloaf, Broccoli-Cheddar Bow Ties, and Naturally Sweet PB&J Pancakes. Even crowd-pleasing desserts like Everything-But-the-Kitchen-Sink Cookies and Butterscotch Marshmallow Squares. The Kitchen Sink cookies are yummy. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Everything about the look and feel of this cookbook is inviting. The family-feel shimmers off each and every page. The personal tone of this cookbook sparks great warmth and confidence that these are tried-and-true recipes. This collection of family recipes is a gift to readers and I would give this book a 5-star if only for this one small thing: the title words of “no-fuss” conjures an idea these recipes are all super simple or quick, but many have lengthy ingredient lists and at least one recipe (English muffins) requires overnight prep-work. None of this is a problem, but my expectations were somewhat influenced by the title. Also, a negative word “no” in a title doesn’t always grab attention as a positive word. “The Yes-Please Family Cookbook” if suggestions are permitted!

A great family cookbook with clear, well written recipes that don't take an age to make, with some gorgeous photography that just makes you want to make everything! With breakfast, mains and desserts to choose from there are plenty of options, and I love the inclusion of tips from the chef and lovely candid family snaps.
I have made the blt4d (Dinner BLT!) and it was gorgeous. I look forward to make some more of the recipes in this book!

A fairly good read. Lots of family photos and overall tasty looking recipes. Some had quite a few ingredients and others with items not usually in my pantry. Want to try the Mac and cheese muffins. Would recommend, although not sure how many recipes I would try. Good images throughout look like they would be great for kids.

Thank you to the publisher for an advance copy of this book via netgalley!

Sweet concept to his book. The author incorporates his family including his little daughter olive. Beautiful family pictures on it as well. Recipes are clear and beautifully photographed.

This cookbook is truly a collection of no-fuss recipes that seem simple enough for family dinners, yet good or fancy enough to actually really want to make them. To be honest, I had no idea who Ryan Scott was when I started reading this book but I was happily surprised by all the recipes in this cookbook. There is a nice mixture of breakfasts, dinners and desserts -- and these come with great photos, too.

I love this cookbook! This is a great cookbook for families and people who want normal, less "gourmet" food. My favorite recipe is the creamy tomato soup with cheesy herb waffles. Yummy! Make sure you go out and buy this!

Thank you to @netgalley, publisher and the author for gifting me this free ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I love cookbooks... Always have and always will. But I also like to see some humor in it, to feel like my friend wrote it etc....
This is that kond of cookbook. It makes you giggle, feel comforted and of course it has great recipes.
And most importantly I love it that there's no sugar in these recipes (beside the natural one).
Recipes vary from easy ones to more advanced ones but they are all really great and excellently put together.
The pictures are great and every step of the recipe is nicely explained.

Loved this one!!!

A wonderful collection of no fuss recipes.Beautiful. pictures recipes that seem easy to follow which I love.Trying to please my family was just made easier with this new cookbook.#netgalley#hmh

I received a copy of The No-Fuss Cookbook from NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in return for my honest review.

To be honest, I was not at all familiar with Chef Ryan Scott before picking up this book, but he has created a beautiful cookbook with detailed but not very difficult recipes -- definitely living up to his "no-fuss" promise. There are gorgeous full-colored photographs of every dish, as well as some adorable family photos sprinkled through out. I love that there are plenty of notes and hints about the preparation of the dishes and variations on some of them. The cookbook offers a nice mix of breakfasts, dinner, and dessert dishes, and well as both vegan/vegetarian friendly and meat dishes, so there's truly something for just about everyone. I'm especially looking forward to his tomato soup and pumpkin muffins. Oh, and the Garlic Shrimp Rigatoni, and... well, I made a lot of bookmarks in this one. This is definitely a cookbook I will keep coming back to use again and again.

I have not tried any of the recipes yet, but this book makes me smile,. The pictures are fun and happy. The book is broken down into sections such as breakfast and baked goods, Salads, soups, and snacks, Pasta, dinner, Veggies and sides, and desserts. Each recipes has a story to go with it and many have notes for help alter the recipes if need be. Those no-bake Blueberry energy bites are going to be my first try. SO glad I have a copy of this book from NG, but am going to be gifting physical copies of this book to some family members

I actually haven’t heard of Ryan Scott, but was still excited for this cookbook. Anything that’s got “no fuss” and “family” in the title is a win for me with a picky husband and a toddler. I really did appreciate that many of these recipes were family friendly and used real, whole ingredients. I did find some of the recipes to have a lot of ingredients for something called “no fuss” though. Overall, I think it was a decent cookbook, but nothing really “new” for us that was exciting to try.

This is a nice cookbook and all of the recipes have photos. The recipes are long and some uses a lot of ingredients but they look pretty good. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

A great book from an incredible family! I enjoyed seeing them on Top Chef and it's awesome to see the continuation into their family life. Many of these recipes look amazing and I can't wait to try them.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

This is a wonderful cookbook. It is as the title says No Fuss. Just wonderful recipes to suit the whole family. As a mum of two of the most pickiest eaters I struggle to find recipes that will suit us all. Whilst having a dish that looks appetising and is healthy. I have already marked up many recipes on my to try list.
Wonderful colour pictures of the food (and the authors very cute daughter). Easy to follow instructions. I also loved the authors notes for each recipe. Like which buns to buy. Freezing instructions and prepping ahead.
Definitely a book that will be used and not sat left on the shelf.

I’ve never heard of Ryan Scott but apparently he’s a chef with a good reputation. I was expecting more interesting dishes but this book is boring and too long, none of the dishes were inspiring and the family photos just naff. There are far better cookery books out there and I wouldn’t bother with another of his books.

Thank you to NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for the advanced copy.
