Tastes Better From Scratch Cookbook: Easy Recipes for Everyday Life

I have a lot of cookbooks, but this is by far my favorite that I own! These meals are delicious, made with whole foods, and quick to make. Plus, my picky kids ALWAYS love them! I was so excited for this book. It has a lot of my favorite recipes from the website, but a lot of new ones too. I love how user friendly the book is too. Beautiful pictures on each page, and there is a bar on the top of each recipe that states how long the recipe takes to make, as well as freezing/make ahead instructions. With my busy lifestyle, I LOVE that! This cookbook is an absolute staple in my kitchen and worth every penny! I'm buying more for holiday gifts.

I have followed the Tastes Better From Scratch blog for a few years now. I grew up as a child of the 80's with a microwave cooking mom. Non-boxed mashed potatoes were reserved for holidays. My grandmother was a fantastic from scratch cook--but cooked mostly from memory--so it was tough to get an actual recipe out of her--unless we could find it in a church cookbook somewhere. I love food, I enjoy cooking from scratch, but I also have somewhat picky kids and a full-time job. This cookbook has some tried and true favorites, and mostly quick, wholesome, food with no cans of "cream of" soups or packets of gravy mix. It is the kind of food I want to teach my kids to make, is friendly on our budget, and allows our family to enjoy dinner time together.This is probably not a cookbook for a gourmet cook, nor is it for someone looking for low fat, or low carb or whatever the diet du jour is.The hardback copy has beautiful photos, and quality paper and the binding lays flat very nicely.Don't skip on some of the recipes that seem "too basic". My husband declared the spaghetti sauce a winner and we are not likely to ever buy a jar of sauce again.My mostly picky eaters paged through the book when it arrived and were only able to pick out two or three recipes that they would rather me not make --that speaks volumes!

Love this book! Great recipes and learning alot from them.

Wow I really love this recipe book! Simple and realistic recipes for moms. I love that none of the ingredients were unrealistic and that they were super affordable too. I could easily meal plan on a budget and have very flavorful recipes. This is my “go to” recipe book right now.

I follow Lauren on Instagram and have been using her recipes for years, so as soon as i heard she was going to have a cookbook I knew I needed it. Most of the recipes are not new but i love having them in printed form. I plan on giving this cook book to some relatives this christmas because the recipes are great for family's with busy lives. One disappointment is my book did come a little damaged on the corners, there was no damage to the box it came in so I think it was sent out already damaged.

This book has pictures and great instructions. Also included are the estimated amount of time so you can plan if you are cooking a Sunday meal or need something quick for a week night.

I love, love, love this cookbook. I've been following Lauren Allen long before this book and have to say that every single recipe I've tried has been fantastic. I am working my way through this book and love the heavy pages, the great photos for each item!!! That's a big plus in a cookbook. Try this book - you will love it!

Love the book

This is a great cookbook. Many easy-to-make recipes that EVERYONE will be interested in making. There is a range of recipes from breakfast to dessert and the recipes come with photos! This is a cookbook everyone will use all the time. I have many cookbooks and this is this one of the best cookbooks I have.

I bought the Kindle book $9.99 because I found a great recipe on line .. so thought the Kindle Book would be as good as all my other Kindle Books Not so... cannot read it from the Kindle App on my Samsung A7tabevery other book has been fine , just not this one

I love this book !I love the QR codes on the pages. I love the substitutions when available and the meal prepping tips !

This book is not what I thought it would be. Too many ingredients for my liking.
