I love this series of cookbooks and enjoy the down home, comforting foods. These are recipes that my family and I love, recipes that I know my family will eat and enjoy. There are so many different tools represented in this cookbook and I loved how it was put together. This was unique in it’s representation and the recipes top notch!

Gooseberry Patch is an amazing company as it is "home cooking" and the use of all the equipment that chokes my kitchen is a bonus...I never used the oven as it is 50 degrees hotter at the back and I am not spending hours turning dishes around inside it nor paying to fix it as I have shelves of equipment to use in its stead! The recipes are well written and understandable by cooks of all levels and the photos make the food very appealing to me and other food lovers out there and if you are new to the appliances, there are lots of hints that will help you master them. I especially love the book because it uses primarily whole ingredients instead of pre-prepared and packaged foods. My nephew says that I never have any food in the house, only ingredients --- that is why I cook so much. I also refuse to eat or cook with Frankenfoods such as "chick'n" and its 88 ingredients vs. 🐔chicken🐔 having one and cheese that does not come from an animal is udder nonsense!)

Quick & Easy Recipes…With Help is a cookbook full of easy recipes for every type of appliance. There are recipes for air-fryers, Instant Pots, slow cookers, waffle irons, blenders and more. After browsing through this cookbook, there are so many recipes I am dying to try! The smoothie recipes look delicious, the slow cooker recipes will be a great help and the muffin recipes will give something fun to try with my son. I haven’t tried any of these recipes yet, but there are so many I am excited to test out! I think this will become a cookbook that I turn to when I need something quick any easy for a certain appliance. This is definitely a cookbook I would recommend to someone looking for new recipes for many different appliances.

Anyone familiar with Gooseberry Patch cookbooks knows that they are generally community-type books composed of recipes gathered from cooks all over the country. Quick & Easy Recipes with Help...: From My Instant Pot, Air Fryer, Slow Cooker, Waffle Iron & More is an excellent cookbook that not only includes recipes from cooks all over the country, but recipes using helpers such as appliances (slow cooker, Instant Pot, waffle iron, blender, and air fryer), as well as skillets and sheet pans. The recipes are mostly easy with minimal ingredients, so they can be successfully made by beginners as well as advanced cooks. Although every dish isn’t pictured, many are, and the photographs are beautiful and mouthwatering. The recipes included in each chapter will appeal to almost everyone; there are vegetarian dishes, as well as snacks, appetizers, side dishes, salads, main dishes with beef, poultry, and pork, and plenty of great desserts. Almost every owns the appliances featured, and they definitely speed up the meal prep process. The only thing the book lacks is fish and seafood recipes, but there are enough other things, that this shouldn’t prevent anyone from loving this cookbook. The recipes have influences from all over the world from Asia to Europe and many of them are All-American. The recipes are written in traditional form, and are easy to follow. As is typical of Gooseberry Patch cookbooks, this one is colorful and fun to look at as well as cook from. All told, this fun cookbook has something that will appeal to the entire family, even picky children (and husbands). It will make a nice addition to anyone’s cookbook library. Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.
