What a wonderful way to be able to serve nice dinners even ...

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2016

What a wonderful way to be able to serve nice dinners even after a long day of work, without spending hours preparing the meal. Since there are two of us in the household, we split most of the recipes into two containers for the freezer and have easily prepared dinners for more than a month. If we look for the sales or shop at the discount grocery stores (Aldi, in particular) we can spend between $150 and $200 for our cooking day and then only have to stop by the grocery for things like milk, eggs, bread, and fresh fruits and veggies to supplement our meals. What a savings in time and money "Once-a-Month Cooking" allows for! We have tried several of the schedules and the recipes are very yummy (and easy). This is our favorite cookbook.

Great Recipes

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2011

I have been using the authors basic system for more than a year now and I was so excited to see this new book with even more recipes. I sat down last month and picked out all of the recipes that I wanted to try, but there were so many that I had to split them up into different months. I eventually made 40 of the recipes last month and all of the ones we have tried so far have been delicious! My husband is a picky eater and has fish allergies so the expanded recipe ideas worked wonderfully! Can't wait to try the rest of the recipes next time! I have already recommended this book to about 10 ladies in my Bible study group.

Great, but some issues limit my use

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2012

Verified Purchase

I have a friend who has done bulk cooking for many years who recommended two of her favorites. This was the first and I appreciate it for several reasons. It is well organized, it has a wide variety of food, you can do a full month cycle or a two week cycle, or even just make a few of the recipes to freeze.

I especially appreciated the "summer cycle" and the "gluten-free" cycles. They are very sensitive to issues you might encounter. The problem with having someone else plan your meals is that they can't plan for your own likes, dislikes, allergies, and preferences. In my case, I can't have ham, and my husband won't eat certain foods. So, before I even got started I knew I would have to make adjustments.

But the recipes in this book are arranged in a way that I can pick and choose, although it defeats the purpose of the lists that they have carefully made up. I have given it four stars because of the variety of foods offered and the fantastic recipes, all of which can be doubled and frozen (or in our case with only two of us, simply split and frozen).

The second book she recommended, Make-A-Mix is actually much more helpful. The recipes in this one are designed for multiple use, you divide the items into several servings before freezing them, then use each one as a basis for several recipes. I have made a list of several of those along with recipes for "Dump Chicken" freezer recipes she recommended (you mix up marinades in gallon ziplock bags and add either fresh or frozen pieces of chicken and freeze them in the marinade), and will be stocking my cupboards and freezer with one cooking session, much like this book details.

This book is a good starting point, but be prepared to do a little bit of thinking things through to make it work for your family.

Great recipes, great resource!

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

I bought this and a few other cookbooks of this nature because it's something I wanted to get the hang of being 8 months pregnant. I already loathe when dinner time rolls around. Not knowing what to cook, or just flat out not wanting to cook. Imagine how I'll feel with a newborn (and 3 other kids) We needed to trim our visits to restaurants and fast food joints, and fast. So, I started this. I started with 2 week cycle D because I wanted to start smaller and there were more items on sale on my shopping day on cycle D as opposed to C. Let me tell you, I am glad I started with a 2 week cycle. By the end of the day I had nothing left in me. I was wiped out the rest of the night and most the next day. I'm sure pregnancy helped in that exhaustion, so I think I'll stick to the two week plans for a while (or just do half a month cycle). All in all, the 4 or 5 recipes we've tried so far have been quite good. We had the chicken italiano last night and everyone raved. My goal is to take what I learn from this cookbook and make up my own meal plans from all the oamc and freezer meal cookbooks I have. This is a great book to start with. It's all mapped out for you. Just shop, prepare/cook, freeze, and eat. Looking forward to being able to heat and eat when the new baby comes. It's been fantastic to just being able to throw dinner in the oven.

Great cooking system

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2010

Verified Purchase

I have tried the 30 day cooking method for 2 months now. In February completing the 1st 30 day cycle. I adjusted the plan to eliminate a few recipes I was sure my family would not like and ended up with at least 17 meals in the freezer. It was surprising how easily they went together although I was very tired at the end of the day. I was a little nervous about trying so many new recipes at one time but they have all been delicious! It has been such a relief not having to prepare meals when I get home from work. I would highly recommend this book. It also has allowed me to look at my favorite recipes in a new way and I plan to incorporate them into the system as well.

I purchased this book for my wife and two daughters. Now, they get together twice a-month to do a cooking marathon. The recipes are great and it has saved both families a lot of money. It's so easy to come home from work, take something out of the freezer and cook either in oven or microwave.

We go out less during the week and have a great dinner with leftovers the next couple of days. This would be a great book to purchase if you want to save money, eat wonderful meals and save time in the kitchen after work. There is an earlier version of this book which I bought for one of my daughters with different recipes and she loves it. Just my two cents...

but it was a happy accident! Really like the recipes

Reviewed in Canada on July 25, 2015

Ordered this by accident, but it was a happy accident! Really like the recipes. Also love the way the book is laid out. They tell you what to prep before you start cooking, and each recipe tells you amounts needed for the prep ingredients. So, if you decide to leave out one or two of the suggested recipes for that cycle, you know at a glance how much of each ingredient to leave out. Would definitely recommend.

Muy buen libro para organizar las cenas

Reviewed in Spain on May 29, 2013

Verified Purchase

He hecho bastantes de las recetas de este libro y estan muy ricas. Algunas las he hecho tal cual y luego he ido modificándolas.
Hay algunos ingredientes un poco complicados de encontrar en España, como la sal de apio, o que requieren un poco de investigación, como el half and half (mitad leche, mitad nata). Pero una vez hechas las sustituciones el libro va muy bien.

Destaco la cazuela de brócoli con pollo, el pollo zanzíbar o la pasta con espinacas y garbanzos.

Hay menus para un mes, para dos semanas, sin gluten, para verano, gourmet... Muy completo. Recomendable.
