Rachael cooks up another classic!

The idea behind this clever cookbook is to have on hand a certain amount of basic ingredients. Then, to complete one of the recipes in the book, all you have to do is stop by the store and pick up a few items on your way home from work- thereby qualifying you to use the "express lane"- hence the title of the book.

This particular cookbook of Rachael's contains not only easy to follow recipes, but also has a wide enough variety of them that will keep you from serving the same boring meals every night- a chronic problem at my house.

All in all a good cookbook that deserves a place on everybody's bookshelf, I give it five stars. Also recommend Joy of Cooking: 75th Anniversary Edition - 2006.

My Favorite Cookbook

This book is great! The food is great and it truly only takes 30 minutes. I've tried several recipes so far, and they've all been easy to follow and taste great. I highly recommend this book!

Pretty good, but takes me longer then 30 minutes

I have tried 7 recipes so far out of this book, it is nice because a lot of the ingredients are easy to find for me, like EVOO and garlic. Some though were a little hard for me to find and I had to ask my Mother in law were to find them. 6 of the meals I made out of the 7 were a hit, but they all took over 30 minutes to prep and prepare. This is a good book if you do not mind having to look for occasional ingredients that you are not use too, and also if you have about 45 minutes to prepare and cook- with no interruptions. I should add that I have a baby in the home, so for me it takes an hour!

Love Rachel, Her Cookbooks -- Not So Much

I think Rachel is much more entertaining to watch than she is a cookbook author. I think other Food Network hosts have better books -- Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) and Giada DeLaurentis (Everyday Italian) are much better.

Tv show yes, cook book NO

Like another review I read her, I really like Rachel Ray but the cookbook I can live without. First of all, the meals take over 30 minutes(which would be fine, if this wasn't touted as 30 minute meals), secondly I don't like to spend money on one ingredient I will only use once because to be honest the recipes were not all that great. But maybe I'll give it try again and break it out as it's been a few years since I used it!
