I have all of her cookbooks and have tried numerous recipes on her blog. You can never go wrong. Everything is delicious.

Give it a try you won't be disappointed.-Cathleen

I think this book is just as good, if not better than the original "Mad Hungry, Feeding Boys and Men". First off, the book "feels" right. The pages are thick and the pictures are delightful. It's virtually the same format as the first book. There are a variety of recipes and only a few I would not be willing to make. I love the notes and tips dispersed throughout the book. My only critique would be there are some recipes with ingredients that would be hard to find in my area (i.e. Chinese recipes). But that in itself is not a reason to take away a star in my opinion. It is a very well thought out book with straightforward and practical recipes. Get it, you won't be disappointed.-Browneyedmama

I love that this is full of options to make at home rather than just buying takeout. I live in the country and it's hours to anywhere that serves many of the things in this book. It's also healthier without being "diet". As a working single mom I can also say that her strategies are sound and work on a daily basis. Thanks again, Lucinda!-Loki
