Great book to have on hand.

We all live very busy lives and this cookbook really takes that into consideration.
Easy, do-able recipes, budget friendly, too.
A easy to read and use layout (important for cookbooks) with great color photos and QR codes.
Recommend.

I have followed Alyssa's blog, The Recipe Critic for years and was super excited to hear that a cookbook was coming out and even more excited to read and review it. Well, the book is just as great as the blog! Granted a lot of the recipes can already be found there, but there's just something special about an actual cookbook, in my opinion. I especially love the Pasta Fagioli, Garlic and Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin and for some reason, the 8-Can Chicken Taco Soup is a favorite! I look forward to trying the Jalapeno Bacon Cheeseball and many others. The pictures are gorgeous, and I have already ordered and received my hard copy to keep! If you want fairly easy recipes that are also delicious and feature easy to find ingredients, look no further than this book! Oh, and follow the blog too! You're welcome!

Thank you to #NetGalley, Alyssa Rivers and DK for this much appreciated ARC! All opinions are my own.

I will post my review to Amazon, Instagram and other retail and social media sites upon publication.

Anyone who likes recipes that are doable and reminiscent of a lifetime of food, will want to immediately pick up The Tried & True Cookbook , by popular blogger, Alyssa Rivers.

The recipes in the book are not particularly innovative or unusual, which can be intimidating to beginning cooks; rather they are down-to-earth good recipes that are very appealing and are fairly easy to prepare. The recipes included are presented in the traditional manner with a list of ingredients first, followed by step-by-step instructions. The author has also included notes at the beginning of the recipes that include tips and helps in creating mouthwatering dishes.

One of the best things about this excellent cookbook is that there are beautiful, professional photographs of every recipe, which will make readers “must make soon” queue longer every time the cookbook is perused. The recipes are suitable for families – kids and adults will like the dishes.

The recipes call for common ingredients – no need to go to specialty stores – and there are recipes for all seasons and celebrations. Rivers includes over 150 recipes for everything from appetizers to breads and soups and salads, as well as plenty of main dishes and desserts. These are recipes that appeal to regular people, and there is something for everyone, even picky eaters.

All told, this is an excellent cookbook to keep on the kitchen shelf. It is also nice enough to make a good gift for anyone who wants to prepare good, easy dishes.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.
