It’s so worth it! Half the cookbooks you buy end up collecting dust except for a few recipes you use once in a while. This one is packed with super-easy, yum and kid friendly recipes you will use again and again.

Eagerly awaiting Dinner Done 2!

I would think that if all the recipes are available online, there is no problem to post a few. (Or link to them : )

You could always email the author. After all, if someone makes a recipe and likes it, they may end up buying the book.

I own a bunch of cookbooks and I make anywhere from 1-5 recipes from them, but with dinner done I make tons and use it atleast twice a week! It makes a good gift too if someone doesn't have it. I'm definitely not connected to them in anyway but appreciate that they've made things easier for me!

Not all the recipes are on their website otherwise there’d be no point in making an actual cookbook. They have other recipes on their site but I believe the ones in the cookbook are (mostly) not on their website.

(I discussed this concept with my rav at length and he said there's no halachic issue with sharing a recipe from a cookbook. Someone has to be honest with themselves at what point they're taking away parnasa and not ask for so much to be copied that they can get away without buying, but for one recipe they wouldn't buy it and on the sharer's end, they own the book and can't be told what's they do with their own property.)

I've had this cookbook for over a year and barely open it. Only for the brownies recipe.

I make the honey garlic chicken very often because it’s just so easy. Also the one with maple syrup.

It’s a great cookbook because of the ease of the recipes and the short list of ingredients for each one.

This and best of kosher are my most used cookbooks.

Nope. I have the book for a year and I just needed some inspiration. I want to eat all these things but I don't want to cook...

I make the shwarma sheet pan recipe once a week. The baked ziti is amazing, I offered to make it for all our chanukah parties 🥳
Also the peanut chews, life changing to make it in a 9x13! And the doctored frozen fries are great too.

Those who made the saucy sesame chicken-
Do you think I can make it with ground turkey or will it be dry?

So funny... After reading this thread, I was really persuaded to get the book, but I ended up passing on it because I couldn't justify spending the money. Then this Shabbat, I went to a new friend for lunch, and literally out of nowhere, unprompted, she pulled the book off the shelf and asked if I want it because she never uses it.

I already made the lo mein - big hit! Even my toddler ate it and he doesn't eat anything

I use a few recipes from their site several times a week, mainly their baked goods.
I personally don't like a lot of their recipes as they're using a lot of tinned or jarred sauces to make it simple to make and where I live, they're quite expensive. Also I find because the food is made using shortcuts, the flavor isn't as good. But that's my opinion.
