Book Review of Fast & Frugal Cookbook By: Dawn Hall

Amanda Bradbury

The fast and frugal cookbook lives up to its name. It does have many recipes that are fairly fast and fairly frugal; however I wasn’t as impressed as I thought I would be with the recipes and the ingredients. Some of the ingredients I’ve never even seen on shelves or heard of before and I’m not sure that they would be available to people all over the United States. I had no idea that Hormel brand has canned roast beef, I never recall seeing it in the store in my area and I felt that it may not be available to me or people in my region. I also felt that there were a lot of recipes that called for this particular item. Other than that I was pleased with the recipes, the nice pictures showing the dishes and the fact that many of the recipes were fast and frugal. Many of the recipes seemed like original ideas and recipes I had never seen before or something with a new twist. I would recommend this book to anyone trying to cook frugally and live a more frugal lifestyle. This is a good book to give as a gift to anyone who likes to cook or is frugal.
