The 5-Ingredient Fresh & Easy Cookbook: 90+ Recipes for Busy People Who Love to Eat Well by Shelia Thigpen – A Book Review

   

Sheila Thigpen has provided both new and experienced cooks with over ninety wholesome recipes. The recipes are not specifically low-carb, but do not include many processed or sugary items (well,expect for some of the desserts). Recipes are labeled to let those planning a meal quickly know which are nut-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, etc. The table of contents is labeled by breakfast, lunch, dinner, sides, snacks and desserts followed by valuable resource material, but what I really found helpful was that two indices are provided, one organized by recipe type such as dairy-free, one-pot, and no-cook, and the other by main ingredient. Most prep times are under twenty minutes. I found this cookbook to be very helpful in planning for and preparing healthy meals on busy days. I am grateful to have received a copy from Rockridge Press in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and received no monetary compensation.
