Illogical Index but Amazing Recipes
I've had the book for just a week. So far, I've only made the brownies . . . twice! Because, they are so perfect! From the looks of the recipes, this is even better than her last book. And, I was impressed with that one. With so many recipes available online, cookbooks are not something I normally buy. But, I love her recipes. I have no doubt these recipes will be delicious.My only complaint about the book is the horrible index. It should be easy to quickly look up a recipe. I wanted to see the granola recipe. I looked under G: nope. Ohh, okay . . . try O for oats: nope. Under oats, I do find a recipe that used the granola. So, I have to go to that page to see the page that references the granola. Why would an editor allow/do this??? It's insane. The other instance I found is that you shouldn't list a recipe under what you call it. I was looking for the ranch dressing recipe. Silly me looked under R first then D for dressing. Where is it? It's under B for "better than store bought ranch. Seriously? I don't know who thought this was a logical way to create an index.But, as I said, it seems to be an awesome cookbook. I can't wait to make more than the brownies. Go shopping for supplies this weekend. Don't let the fact that the title focuses on lunches deter you. I didn't see any that wouldn't work for dinner also.Edit: The Creamy Cajun Pasta is dangerously good! And, with that crazy index, let me spare you the trouble: page 24. ;)

LOVE LOVE LOVE this cookbook
LOVE LOVE LOVE this cookbook! The recipes are so easy to make and delicious! There isn't anything from this cookbook my picky eaters (hubby and kids) won't eat! The photography in this cookbook is an art book in itself. The pictures leave you craving and desiring to make every recipe. Most cookbooks you have one or two recipes that are good, well this one is different because every one is a keeper! Mary's other cookbook for easy dinners is also amazing and so easy to follow. If I had to only keep two recipe books, it would be Mary's!!

Great Food for Great Company
Already owned the previous book by Mary Younkin "Weeknight Dinner Cookbook" so was delighted when the "Weekday" book came out. We have tried loads of the recipes from both books and so far only one recipe disappointed us. Fantastic books. Not since Mr Food have I enjoyed trying so many new recipes for my family. Money well spent.

Très bon livre de recette
J'ai offert ce livre à ma conjointe car elle adore les livres de Mary Younkin. Elle possède déjà les deux autres livres de recettes. Je suis le bénéficiaire de sa cuisine. Le tout est délicieux et les ingrédients sont faciles à trouver en épicerie.
