Mostly good recipes, though not all of them. Nearly all are, indeed, very simple, in that aspect the book lives up to its promise. As sturlington mentioned, there are a few gems in here, you just need to find them.

Very simple recipes, suitable for weeknight cooking. There are a few gems here, and this cookbook has been pretty reliable, but a lot of the recipes just aren't suitable for my family, unfortunately.
