Ten Dollar Dinners (Paperback) by D'Arabian, Melissa

I love looking at her new book. I immediately thought she would win when I saw her on The Next Food Network Star. She has very practical and helpful suggestions as well as techniques. uses all of the known -everyday products that most people have in their cabinets.

Excellent book. Pictures of people and food are beautiful. Instructions are clear. Wish some more recipes I have seen Melissa cook on TV were included. I get such great tips for cooking in general from watching her shows. Wish the book included list of recipes that would freeze well. I live alone, so can actually only use recipes I can freeze in individual servings.

great cookbook. to make it easier to use, it should be spiral bound.

great cook book and very good hints and cooking suggestions

I love this cookbook! It has such variety and beautiful pictures of the author's family which is a bonus. She shares such details of being thrifty, which is a hobby of mine, and ways to embellish food for little extra cost. A bargain at any price - I am going to order another one for my daughter's Christmas gift.

We preordered this book. It's already full of post-it notes for recipes to try out and ones to repeat. As a single mom with teenagers we really enjoy trying out these easy, inexpensive recipes! I love that most of the ingredients are already in the kitchen and not pricey, top-shelf and hard-to-find.

The recipes in this book are easy to follow, awesome choices for entertaining and fit into any budget. Melissa D'Arabian has done a great job of bringing everyone back to the table!

I had placed an advanced order for the Ten Dollar Dinners cookbook when Melissa D'Arabian appeared on QVC last month. It had a reduced price because it was an advance order but then adding shipping and handling and tax it still was a good deal. I was happily surprised when watching FoodNetwork and seeing the ad for her cookbook with an earlier shipping date and with a greater discount than QVC. After having this cookbook for several days I would have been happy even paying the original price! I recommend this book for anyone who will ever spend a moment in a kitchen. Congrats Melissa!

This cookbook has so many things going for it. The variety of recipes, easy explainations on cooking terms and ideas, and what I call the economical meal rating system. This system is wonderful and really helpful in putting good meals on the table with low costs. This is so needed in these tough economical times with food prices rising. I have tried 5 recipes so far and loved them all. My husband who is a very picky eater said I could even make him the skirt steak and carmelized onion recipe for him again he liked it so much. I absolutely love the four step chicken picata recipe. It served so much and was to die for and so easy.

I love this cookbook! Many of the recipes use ingredients I have in my pantry. I don't have to go to the store and find some obsure ingredient I never heard of and will never use again. I hate spending money on ingredients I will only use once and usually end of hating the taste. Thanks Melissa!

I've enjoyed watching Melissa's cooking show on the Food Network and couldn't wait to try her new cookbook. So far, I've only tried a few of the recipes, but have enjoyed every one. I like the photos that show what the end result should look like and highly recommend this cookbook.

I truly enjoy watching Melissa's show. Every recipe that I have tried has been easy to understand and follow, cost effective and delicious! I love having all my favorite ones in a bound cookbook. I had been getting them off the WEB site and misplacing the papers. Now everything I need is right at my fingertips! I love all the tips and suggestions! I love the cookbook!

It is a good cookbook - I like her recipes. I also enjoyed the fact that I was able to get it at a reduced rate.

This cookbook is an excellent addition to the home cook. Have always been a fan of Melissa and her book is tastefully done.

Love watching Ten Dollar Dinners. Great money saving ideas and recipes.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this cookbook. It is an easy read. An inexperienced cook to a novice cook would enjoy this book.

I have been watching for Melissa's cookbook since she began on the Network. I like her easy techniques. The cookbook is all I hoped for and more.

I haven't had the book long. I enjoy the family photos, it's a really nice touch. I tried one of the salads and it was a hit with everyone in the family. I am going to try the salmon cakes next. I bet they will be good. It is very well written, with lots of tips which I enjoy and will use.

I LOVE this cookbook!! As a busy mother myself (4 yr old little girl and 2 year old twins) I look for any help I can get to make meals quick and affordable! Melissa's tips throughout the book are truly little gems! I have learned SO MUCH from watching her over the years, and the tips in the books have been invaluable. She is the one and only reason I am not afraid to make my own pastry dough!!! She made it look and sound so easy, and it really is! I will be buying this book as Christmas gifts for my friends! LOVE IT!

Love Melissa's recipes & techniques. Really love this book. Lots of tips throughout. Dont miss em.
