Great Uncomplicated Recipes

I found this cookbook easy to follow and the recipes uncomplicated. You can't go wrong with the Spicy Asian Meatballs, Garlic Cheese Spread, or the Low-Fat Cheesecake among others. I have used many of Robin's recipes for cocktail parties and they are a huge hit. Great advice and fun stories from her personal life all make a good read. Just wish Robin still had her cooking show on Lifetime. The fact that I have met her...

Terrific Cookbook!

I already have two favorites; ROBIN'S FIESTY PASTA, and FETTUCCINE WITH ZUCCHINI AND FRESH TOMATOE SAUCE. My family always welcome their arrival to the table and I enjoy cooking them. It was surprising how simple they were to prepare and how great tasting in the end. Being a fan of AMC for over 20 years, knowing more about Robin made it even more enjoyable. I plan to give it as a gift this Christmas.

This was a very enjoyable book to read and I loved it

Robin had wonderful recipes and I loved the stories she shared about her life. She is a good author and a great cook. One recipe I loved was for Turkey meatloaves. Everyone shoudl try that. My parents loved it, too.Robin is a great actress, author, cook, and an over all wonderful person!

Bravo!!!

This is an excellent cookbook written by my favorite Soap Opera actress. It is obvious that Robin is a wonderful cook since I have already tried several of her recipes and they are great. If you want a great cookbook and a hint of who *Janet from another Planet* really is....buy this cookbook!
