I don't have any of her cookbooks but I do have her Greek salad recipe and love it.

No, but so many of her recipes are free online from the Food Network. I watch her show, then if I like what she cooked, I print out the recipe. It's a great way to only have the recipes that I actually like!

I don't like some of her recipes I've tried off foodnetwork so I haven't bought any of her books. A lot of the recipes are free online.

A friend of mine has a brilliant idea. Before buying a cookbook get it out of the library to see if it's worth the money. Truth is I usually only like 1 or 2 recipes out of a book so this has saved me money!!!

I prefer online because most of the time there are reviews. The reviews give you ideas on how to adapt the recipe also.

I bought 2 of them and I'm sorry I did so....I don't like alot of her recipes

My wife does and uses them often. My wife's hobby is cooking gourmet meals. There has only been one dish that we didn't care for and that was some kind of stuffed shells with crabmeat. Wife says some of the dishes are expensive to make.

I have them (One is even autographed) and love them. Most I love but some I have tweaked a little to suit the families' tastes.

I do think getting them at the library first is a great idea. My mom does it all the time.

good ideas
I have looked at her recipes on the food network site and they look good, although maybe some are a little complex for me, LOL, I tend to like simple recipes with not a lot of ingredients!

I will check the library next time I go,
I would love to get a really good italian cookbook
