The sub-title promises "quick and easy meals the whole family will love" and that's why I requested this book. Who doesn't want some quick and easy recipes in this busy world?

But this comes with a few caveats:

1. Some recipes "cheat" on cooking time by having either pre-cooked or ready made / frozen ingredients like rice, pasta, beans or potato products. You might not be able to do everything from scratch in 30 minutes.

2. You have to be a good multitasker for some that have "while x is cooking, do y". You won't guess how often I overcooked pasta, burnt something, had a pot overflow, messed up straining etc. because I had to tend to another task at the same time.

3. Hope you like Mexican cuisine, at least half the recipes from the actual meals (I'm not counting numerous burgers / sandwiches or fruit salads) are inspired by Mexican cuisine. There's a few Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Indian) or European (mostly Italian but also some French) recipes, but they're a minority, there isn't an equal focus on different cuisines, so yeah... hope you like Mexican or burgers!

4. It assumes you have a big, well supplied in appliances kitchen. It often uses air fryer, multi-cooker / pressure-cooker, grill, and also the standard trio of oven, frying skillet and probably the least of all, your standard deep cooking pot. I was a bit disappointed how few recipes are actually for the pot. It was mostly air fryer, skillet, oven.

5. When it comes to ingredients, many are not basic always-have-at-home kind of items, so you have to prepare a shopping list for many of those recipes, they aren't very improvisation friendly, even though that's what I'd expect from a book of "easy" recipes.

Overall, the book is beautifully equipped with photos of each dish, and divided into sections for different kind of meat (beef, pork, chicken, turkey, fish & seafood), vegetarian dishes, salads, desserts and appetizers. What surprised me was so many salads were fruit salads - I wished for more pure vegetable compositions.

If you fulfill all the caveat conditions I've listed, there are some varied and non-basic recipes you can innovate your menu with. Keep in mind they might be neither as "quick" nor as "easy" as the tagline claims, and might need planning ahead both in shopping list and in pre-preparation of some components (hope you have cooked rice and fried / baked beans at your disposal).

Thank you Netgalley and Shadow Mountain Publishing for the ARC.

A great recipe book that I’ll be coming back to over and over again.
A lovely variety of recipes and I really liked that the ingredients weren’t overly complicated or hard to find in the shop.
Layout was great, easy to follow with clear lists and instructions.
Also an extra mark for each recipe having its own gorgeous picture.
I would have liked for there to be a little foreword before we dove into the recipes but all in all a really great and useful book!

For example, the recipes use jarred pasta sauce, frozen vegetables, and premade pastry dough. Created inside are accessible, easy recipes that will become household staples and kids' favorites.

Get ready to elevate your cooking!! For a quick recipe book, these hold nothing back in flavor and plating. I love that there is something for every diet. These recipes are crowd pleases and have a heavy emphasis on wholesome ingredients! Can't wait to make these for my family!

I was happy to see that this cookbook had pictures of the finished food in addition to the recipes. It was organized well, the recipes looked tasty, and the directions seemed straight-forward. Most were quite easy and made with common ingredients. There were a few that had some short-cuts for cooks who want to save time. I felt like there were many dishes I would never make, however, and some I already have recipes for. It’s a good cookbook for those who want to add some variety to their cooking.

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

This is an amazing cookbook filled with quick and easy recipes that are perfect for any busy mom. I found that the recipes were simple and they had ingredients that I already had on hand. This book has a perfect mix of appetizers, meats and veggies that will keep the whole family wanting more.

A lot of these recipes are more of a 20 min recipe. Lots of recipes for company or get togethers. Air fryer and multi cooker recipes.

I have loved all the 6 sister recipe books and use the recipes in them often. I was excited to see this new book of theirs because I am a working mom with little time to come home and get dinner on the table. The recipes are easy to follow and I love that each of the recipes have pictures of the finished dish. I have tried a few of the recipes in this cook book. My family really loved the Baked Salmon and the Citrus Berry Salad!

This is a well put together cookbook. It is organized well and in a logical manner with a large, full color photo for every single recipe. There's not a lot by way of an introduction to the book. There are only one- or two-sentence introductions about each recipe. The categories are broken down into appetizers, then types of meat/seafood/meatless, side dishes, and desserts, with a cross-referenced index. The recipes all include very common ingredients that most cook should either have on hand or find easily at standard grocery stores, with easy-to-follow instructions. Some use less ingredients with shortcuts (like refrigerated crescent or pizza dough) and some have more extensive ingredient lists (usually of veggies and seasonings). Each recipe includes the prep time, cook time, and total time to make each recipe. Some recipes are under 30 minutes and some are slightly over, but each recipe seems to be aimed at convenience to help you when you're in a time crunch to get a good meal on the table in less time. While the recipes are not necessarily anything unique or new, this is a great cookbook to help newlyweds, college students, a busy mom, or anyone wanting some fast recipes to add to their rotation!

"Thirty -Minute Meals with Six Sisters' Stuff" by Six Sisters' Stuff" is an easy and approachable way to dinnertime and meal prep.

Great cookbook! I am always on the lookout for good quick recipes and this recipe book hits the mark! We really enjoyed the Chicken Taco Roll-ups , Twisted Pretzel Bites, and the Queso Blanco Dip. I cannot wait to try out the rest of them!

Super delicious and easy recipes! I loved how they had an array of recipes with a variety of methods. There were lots of air fryer recipes and some instant pot and one pan recipes. They all looked so good and easy!

This cookbook has an illustration with each recipe. If you're looking for healthy recipes,
that could be done by possibly making some adjustments to the ingredients. In looking
over the recipes, I might try making the Naan bread.

I have loved all their cookbooks thus far and this one did not disappoint. My only qualm with this cookbook is that I do not own a multi cooker and there were a few recipes that called for one. But that was a me problem not a book problem. These recipes look not only delicious but also easy to execute and use normal everyday ingredients that you can find in your pantry or any grocery store. Can't wait to see what they have for us next!

I have already found multiple recipes to try, and the ingredients and instructions are accessible and achievable to these medium level cook. My daughter is also eager for me to try some of these recipes and had the pictures catching her attention as well. I had tried some recipes from them online before. I liked this collection of their recipes together. I think it is a practical and versatile cookbook for busy adults/parents.

I really love all the Six Sisters' books and recipes, and this one was great because sometimes we don't have time to cook an elaborate dinner, and these 30-minute meals are great!

This Six Sisters' cookbook is filled with basic recipes. For those who are familiar with this brand, you might find it lacking in new content. The layout is inviting, with good photos and clear directions. I'd hand this to a new cook looking for ideas, as the recipes are basic and require ingredients that most cooks will have on hand.

This was not my favorite cookbook from Six Sisters' Stuff. As someone who has picky eaters in the house, there weren't a lot of recipes that were appealing to add into the rotation. I have loved recipes from Six Sister's Stuff before, but this cookbook fell short in terms of my personal tastes.

These recipes are the type of food you’d get at Applebees— tasty, fattening, easy to make, composed of a lot of processed ingredients and not particularly healthy for everyday eating but sure to please. There are photos of every recipe but no nutritional information. Many of them would definitely take more than 30 minutes. They are heavy on the use of dairy, wheat and meat so they are not well suited for those with allergies or special dietary needs. They also are generally very high in calories, carbs and unhealthy fats, so I’d be careful about cooking from it too regularly. I’m sure it will greatly please the average American eater though.

I read a digital ARC of this book via netgalley.
