This cookbook will likely interest people who don't have a lot of time for cooking and keep ready made stuff around to use as shortcuts. There are a lot of recipes that sound good but also a lot of them may not work for families with dietary restrictions. In my family we have people who eat dairy free, gluten free as well as low fat diets. I skimmed through ingredient lists looking for no-nos for my family and there were a lot. Some of them I'd be able to adapt though.

I liked that all the recipes had photos of the dishes. That makes it more enticing to try.

This was a great cookbook. It has easy-to-follow recipes. I would highly recommend this book.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publishers for the ARC.

This is not a cookbook that will set the world on fire BUT? I love Six Sisters' Stuff. It's been years since I first found their website and a few of their recipes are in the constantly-rotating section of my meal planning. Pretty simple, family-friendly recipes that always end up tasty? Yes, please. In 30-minutes, after work? Double yes, please.

Always clean layouts, good-and-tasty looking photography (thank you for always including a picture with every recipe!), and recipes my whole family will eat = another cookbook for my collection! Yes, I have it on pre-order, and you should too. My teens and man-child can (and will, come September 2nd :)) make any one of these recipes. None of them will require hunting for any hard-to-find ingredients beyond your basic grocery store. Easy enough for beginners and satisfying for all, the recipes can also easily be changed out to accommodate our family's allergies, which is, of course, also very appreciated. Thanks for another solid cookbook, Six Sisters!

My thanks to NetGalley and Shadow Mountain Publishing for the opportunity to review this title in exchange for my honest opinion.

Oh, how I love Six Sisters'!! I already own all of their other books, so I was so happy to receive this advanced copy! It does not disappoint! Their recipes are super-easy to follow, easy to find ingredients and feel like having a good friend over to help. Groundbreaking? No. But I don't think that's the point. I am a 58-year-old fairly experienced cook, and I can appreciate a book full of quick, easy to prepare foods for Hubby and me. The Tomato Macaroni Soup was a favorite that took me back to my childhood! Perfect for the Grandkids! Or not! Roasted Parmesan Sweet Potatoes are a great side idea, and I have actually been making the Pizza Skillet Pasta for a few years! This would also be a great book for a beginner, or just a busy person who wants a quick and delicious meal on the table! Love the pictures too! I plan on purchasing the paperback when it comes out, just because I still like my cookbooks to be actual books when I'm cooking! Well done, once again, Six Sisters!

Thank you to #NetGalley, Six Sisters' Stuff and Shadow Mountain Publishing for this ARC. All opinions are my own.

I will post my review to Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Instagram and other retail and social media sites upon publication day of September 02, 2025.

30-Minute Meals by Six Sisters Stuff is like a warm hug in cookbook form—packed with cozy, classic dinners that are cleverly trimmed down to get you in and out of the kitchen in record time. More time with your family, less time staring into a pot of boiling water? Yes, please.

One of my favorite features is how the recipes are sorted by protein. Got a lonely pound of ground turkey in the fridge and no clue what to do with it? Flip straight to the turkey section—no frantic page-flipping or index-surfing required.

While many of the recipes might feel familiar (you’ve likely seen versions before), the true magic is in the time-saving methods. The streamlined steps are a lifesaver, especially for new cooks or anyone setting up their first grown-up kitchen. And as mentioned before the section sorting helps shorten the time it takes to plan a meal.

Don’t miss the Pizza Skillet Pasta and the Stuffed Mushrooms—they’re so delicious. But really, every dish is flexible enough to suit your family’s tastes, picky eaters and all.

Big thanks to Shadow Mountain Publishing, NetGalley, and of course, the amazing Six Sisters for the chance to preview this ARC and fill my kitchen with both delicious food and the sweet smell of saved time.

-3.5 stars maybe
- felt more like a cookbook for maybe a beginner or someone who just moved out on their own
I like the fact that it doesn't feel like a biography and then recipes that feel like an after thought. Will be honest when cookbooks have that I skip the whole section, unless its like the history of the cuisine or something along that line. There are photos for the recipes so that is a plus.
I rated this one pretty average because I felt like a lot of these recipes are very common things people make so there is nothing necessarily new. There are a couple recipes I would include to my rotation. The cookbook felt more like oh ya I can make that in 30 minutes for dinner on ____day, but use our recipe.

What a fun way to prepare meals. Easy to follow recipes that entice you to try them. Loved the clear illustrations, full page pictures. Some basic recipes that reminds us of the comfort foods we grew up with. Divided by beef, chicken, meatless, seafood, turkey, and pork dishes. Appetizers, sides and desserts are included too.

Looking for a quick and easy 30 minute recipe? This is the book for you.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary ecopy. All opinions are my own.

What is not to like about meal that are done in 30 minutes?! I think they did a great job with this book. It has so many amazing recipes and a great variety. The book is laid out in a nice manner making it easy to find the type of recipe you are looking for and also making it a nice book to just browse through. it has nice photos and good instructions which are both a really important part of a cookbook! It is a great book for anyone who likes too cook, to buy themselves or to gift to someone!

Awesome cook book! Such good recipes, the instructions were detailed but easy to follow along which made making the meals really streamlined and simple!

I used to follow these sisters on face book years ago, and always found something my 3 kids would eat. Now that we are empty testers, putting forth the energy to cook is a struggle. This book reminded me of so many meals that were in our rotation, and I am inspired to make these again!
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

Very nice cookbook. Excellent photos. Easy to follow recipes. Can’t wait to try some of these.
Lovely photos of each recipe.

I just think it's so lovely that this book includes a picture for every recipe. It really makes it so much more fun to look forward to trying things out. The directions are super easy to follow too, which is a huge plus.
Thanks to NetGalley, the authors, and Shadow Mountain Publishing | Shadow Mountain.

I have used several of the Six Sisters cookbooks in the past and really enjoyed them. There’s always a wide variety of recipes that will satisfy even the pickiest palate.

I’m a working mom of four so I’m always looking for quick, tasty recipes. This book delivers many recipes that I look forward to trying. These are some of the ones from each section that caught my eye:

Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots
Bbq Sloppy Joes
Mexican Street Corn Chicken Tacos
White Cheddar Shells and Cheese
Hot Italian Trio Sandwiches
Parmesan Fish Sticks with Tartar Sauce
Tomato Macaroni Soup
Tortellini Pasta Salad
Lemon Blueberry Trifle

There were many, many more because there is a lot of variety within each section of the book. I love that because I get bored making the same things. I try to eat relatively healthy so some recipes I would need to swap some items out but they’re simple swaps so not a deterrent.

The other thing I loved about this book was there are pictures for every recipe. I hate getting a cookbook that only features pictures for a handful of recipes. I want to see a preview of what the recipe will look like. This was a fantastic addition to the book. You really can’t go wrong with one of the Six Sisters cookbooks.

Thank you to NetGalley and Shadow Mountain Publishing for an Arc of this fantastic cookbook!

I've loved the previous Six Sisters cookbooks, so I was thrilled to see a new one released. It’s full of great recipes that use simple, everyday ingredients I already have on hand, and the clear illustrations and quick prep times make it perfect for busy family life.

I’ve loved Six Sisters stuff since they were simply a blog, so I knew I needed to request a copy of this cookbook when I saw it. They’ve had great recipes for years!

I love the layout of this cookbook. Each recipe is easy to read and comes with a side by side, full page picture of the completed recipe. The recipes themselves are easily approachable for people of all cooking backgrounds. I do think a handful of recipes will take a touch longer than 30 minutes for more inexperienced cooks, though. A large majority of the recipes sound great, and I love that some of the recipes come with directions for cooking the food multiple ways whether it be in an air fryer, instapot, or stove/oven.

Thank you to NetGalley and Shadow Mountain for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I am always looking for quick family meals to bring variety and easy to my meal planning so was excited to grab this arc. This book does have a wide range of recipes covering appetizers, a variety of protein mains, sides and desserts that are pretty quick to make. The biggest issue I have with this book is that all of the recipes are very basic and boring and have been seen in ever starter cookbook. I am not looking for another basic burger, enchilada or deviled egg recipe. It was all very unoriginal. There are tons of errors and typos, but I have the are so this might get fixed in production. A lot of the recipe photos were on the wrong recipes page, missing ingredients or amounts, and typos.

I requested this in a moment of weakness—having a full-on breakdown about what to cook for dinner while my partner was refusing to be helpful (aka just listing the same things I make every week). I’m so glad I got approved for this one! It’s full of easy and different recipes that actually feel manageable on a weeknight after work. I’ve already added a few to this week’s dinner menu and can’t wait for my next social event to try out some of the snack and app options!

Tons of comfort food recipes! I love that every dish has a picture. I appreciate the fact that there isn't a ton of preamble; when someone is looking for a recipe that is ready in 30 min, they usually don't want to dig through a lot of backstory and it's great that this author gets that.

Thank you to NetGalley and Shadow Mountain Publishing for the ARC.
I was so excited to see that Six Sister’s Stuff is releasing a new book. There recipes are the answer to a quick dinner with easy to follow directions and easy to find ingredients. I am especially excited to try red velvet whoopie pie sandwich cookies. I have already preordered my copy of this cookbook.

Thank you NetGalley for this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Simple, fun recipes that fit on a single page with the corresponding picture on the opposite page, satisfying just how I like recipe books to be. The way everything in the book is laid out was inviting and nothing seems too daunting. Recipes and pictures were appetising, found myself eager to try them.
I like that it was divided by beef dishes, chicken dishes, meatless dishes, pork dishes, seafood dishes, turkey dishes, sides and of course, desserts. All in all, nice!
