Budget-friendly cookbooks, such as Leanne Brown's Good and Cheap, are seeing a resurgence in popularity. Here, Fisher (Good Cheap Eats) shares new recipes for inexpensive meals that cook up quickly and serve four to six people. In sidebars accompanying recipes such as jambalaya pasta with sausage and chicken and decadence sundaes with caramel-lime sauce, she includes two-course menu suggestions and 101 time-saving tips. Busy cooks can easily tell which of her recipes are make-ahead, meatless, gluten-free, and freezer-friendly.
VERDICT Fisher's compilation of soups, sandwiches, burritos, pizzas, and other courses is a practical guide to easy, everyday cooking. Recommended for families and college students, who may also enjoy America's Test Kitchen's The Make-Ahead Cook and Mark Bittman's How To Cook Everything Fast.
