The Fix-it And Enjoy-it Cookbook: All Purpose Welcome Home Recipes

Many cookbooks these days are long on dazzle and flash and short on good recipes that we can instantly trust and love. Where are the pot roasts and chocolate chip cookies? Where are the recipes that include the ingredients we already have on hand or can easily get? Where are the recipes that will make our families smile instead of frown with doubt and confusion at what's been set before them? Have oven casseroles and apple pies been forgotten?

The new cookbook by New York Times bestselling author Phyllis Pellman Good marks the debut of a new line of cookbooks, with many parallels to her highly popular "Fix-It and Forget-It" series (6.7 million copies already sold). The new FIX-IT AND ENJOY-IT COOKBOOK: All-Purpose, Welcome-Home Recipes (Good Books, April 2006, $24.95/hardcover, $15.95/paperback, $18.95/spiral comb-bound) is for oven and stove-top cooking. The book is designed to provide readers with a whole new variety of tasty, down-home recipes, just like those made popular in Good's slow-cooker series. Some of the recipes in the new book include:

* Italian Clam Chowder
* Mushroom Oven Omelet
* Glazed Meat Loaf
* Strawberry Bread
* Taco Tortilla Tower
* Bruschetta Chicken Bake
* Chocolate Raspberry Torte and many, many more!

The collection is packed with more than 675 recipes, each including the amount of prep time and cooking time needed. The recipes also include clear, step-by-step procedures for making each dish. The book is available in three different bindings to suit every chef's needs: hardcover, soft cover, and plastic comb-bound for ease of reference while cooking.

Good says that she likes her cookbooks to be inviting to all cooks, but especially to those who don't have a lot of time or a lot of confidence in the kitchen. She finds that many cookbooks intimidate the average at-home cook and her goal is to offer recipes that make cooking easy and quick as well as relaxing and fun ... all with tasty results!

"The Fix-It and Enjoy-It Cookbook has the same distinguishing qualities as my earlier series. The recipes are easy to prepare; their ingredients are economical and already in most cooks' cupboards. The recipes are not intimidating and the finished dishes are absolutely delicious!"

The FIX-IT AND ENJOY-IT COOKBOOK delivers recipes that are easy and pleasing for the cook and for all who gather around the table. It is simply good, everyday food.
