The Once-a-Week Cooking Plan: The Incredible Cooking Program That Will Save You 10 to 20 Hours a Week (and Have Your Family Begging for More) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book purports to help you save time and money in the kitchen while enjoying a variety of foods. You may save some time following the processes outlined here, but you definitely won't save money. It is definitely NOT for the home cook who is on a budget.
The author gives several weeks worth of recipes for you to cook once and eat all week. Unfortunately, most of the weeks use the same ingredients over and over (and over). For example, there is fish week and out of the 5 menus given, salmon is the main dish in 3.
This book will also NOT help you save money--there is steak week where you are supposed to purchase *13* rib-eye steaks. (Hey--if I could afford to buy 13 steaks at once, I could also probably afford to pay someone to cook for me!)
Most of the other freeze-ahead cookbooks I have seen have practical advice on saving money and time at the grocery store. This book relies too heavily on expensive prepared ingredients (the author recommends buying pre-cooked chicken, for example, to save even more time). I can't recommend this for anyone trying to save money.
