The Happy Cook: 125 Recipes for Eating Every Day Like It's the Weekend

I bought this book as a birthday present for my wife from an Amazon Card that her friend gave her. The book was colorful. Beautiful photography. Easy to follow recipes. Daphne makes the cooking fun and easy. Daphne talks about her family and how she learned to cook from her mother and grandmother. Daphne is very family oriented and makes cooking sound like fun. The pictures in the book are beautiful and the pictures of her daughter are adorable. Would recommend this book to anyone whether you are a new cook or an old pro. This is why I give this book five stars. (Review by my wife)

I LOVE this cookbook. Every recipe has been a huge hit. I've made the pickles and tomatoes with my oldest son and he asks to make them often. I've also made the Rigatoni and Cabbage recipes and they've been a huge hit for the whole family. Both have made it into my go to dinners. I don't have a ton of time to cook so I love that these are relatively simple and either slow quick or have minimal hands on time. Am going to buy her other books.

I think this is an amazing cookbook. I’ve been following Daphne for a few years!

I love Daphne on The Chew, and when I saw this book for half off on Amazon, I grabbed it. I just received it a few days ago and haven't had a chance to make anything yet, but the recipes and pictures are lovely! The only thing I'm a bit disappointed in is, living in the middle of nowhere in northern Michigan, I don't have access to some of the ingredients. Also, I'm on somewhat of a budget, and some of these recipes call for some expensive - and several - ingredients. But it's a wonderful book, I'm looking forward to getting into the kitchen and making many of her recipes!

Beautiful book, great recipes and so many things to try. I like her books because it gives me ideas for things I'd never think to make. The recipes are lengthy, but delish. The only fault I could see in this book is that some of the ingredients might be difficult to find in some regions.

Beautiful pictures and new recipe ideas. I have yet to make anything, which may say something. Not a beginner cook book

We absolutely love this cookbook. The crab cake and carrot cake recipes are so delicious. We have tried a bunch of recipes from here and everything is amazing. I love that we can cook good tasteful food and it is healthy. Only wholesome ingredients are used. I highly recommend.

So far I tried 3 recipes all turned out great. Such a great book for cooking for specially kids since the recipes are enhanced to make it more nutritious. This is a special book because i don't have to dig internet to find recipe and try modifying it for my kid to get her to eat more vegetables. I recommend this book if you are like me always trying to modify recipes to include veggies, flax and chia and all the healthy stuff.

Glad we got the book, great fun for cooking meals

If you bought this book thinking of catching up on all the recipe's you missed writing down from the Dr.Oz Show,you will find the recipes here are different, and use ingredients we'll find in Canadian Grocery stores (Dr.Oz often uses ingredients that don't show up in Canada until CostCo, or another Large American store comes to your neighbourhood)

Easy and great pics.

I liked her previous book Relish better but still nice recipes and great layout. Images are beautiful like always. Most dishes are still a little too fancy with the ingredients. I may experiment but likely to stick to her more basic recipes. Love her tips and info alongside recipes though.

Very disappointed in this book. Ingredients you do not normally have on hand.
