Saving Dinner - Leanne Ely

Title: Saving Dinner Author: Leanne Ely Genre: Cookbook Rating: 9/10

Review: Usually the best part of a cookbook is the pictures, and they're a huge part of how I decide which recipes to try. Saving Dinner has no pictures at all, and as such I'd typically stay far away from it, but thanks to FlyLady I'd already been introduced to some of the recipes and decided to give it a try anyway.

And I'm glad. Saving Dinner has become one of my very favourite cookbooks. I've tried about 20-30 of the recipes, and only a small handful haven't been an instant success. My favourite recipe is the honey-chili chicken with pineapple-avocado salsa. Absolutely delicious!

The recipes in Saving Dinner are split up into 4 seasons with 8 sections of 7 recipes. Each section has a shopping list, so it's possible to plan your weekly menu from it. I've yet to do that, as there are always some of the recipes that aren't really my type (or that require ingredients I can't buy in Denmark), but I can see how it'd be a great help for some people.

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 - the last point is due to the missing pictures.
