This truly different cookbook introduces a revolutionary, patented cooking technique for using whole foods to build one-pot meals in about 20 minutes.

The only thing Glorious One-Pot Meals have in common with familiar one-pot meal methods -- such as crock pot stews, casseroles, skillet meals and stir-fries -- is that everything goes into one pot to cook. Specifically, for Glorious One-Pot Meals, a cast iron Dutch oven. Otherwise, there is nothing to compare to the ease, speed and convenience of Glorious One-Pot Meals and the surprising way that each ingredient maintains its integrity during the cooking process. You can even substitute frozen ingredients without adjusting the time needed to cook the recipe!

This is a low-fat, whole food-based infusion cooking technique that locks in nutrients for fresher flavors, varied textures and healthier meals. Recipes are based on the power of two, making this a great solution for feeding families of one, two, four, or even ten or more. Each Glorious One-Pot Meal recipe contains a complete and balanced dinner of protein, grains, and vegetable side dishes with the bonus of minimal preparation and only one pot to clean. Great for vegetarians (about one-third of the recipes are vegetarian, and with this flexible cooking solution, any Glorious One-Pot Meals recipe can easily be meatless or even vegan!), heart patients or sufferers from any chronic disease (Multiple Sclerosis, diabetes, cancer, obesity, etc.) or food allergy. Kosher cooks should not be put off by the cover photo: Glorious One-Pot Meals are a natural for following the laws of kashrut as well.

With an ingenious covered spiral so that the book will never flip closed and leave you short-handed in mid-pour, this cookbook includes more than just recipes: look for an entire chapter featuring tips for efficient weekly grocery shopping and advice on stocking a pantry and freezer for convenient meal preparation any time.

A lifesaver for everyone from busy parents looking to get a quick dinner on the table to newlyweds learning to cook to empty nesters needing only to cook for two now to seniors concerned with time-saving, healthy and satisfying meals, more than 10,000 home cooks already know and love Glorious One-Pot Meals. Don't overlook the companion website (GloriousOnePotMeals.com) with resources to answer any questions. Once you master this unbelievably easy cooking technique you'll be able to intuitively create your own recipes for your family to enjoy!

Summary: Glorious One Pot Meals
Comment: Living in Denver, I became familiar with Elizabeth Yarnell when she started teaching classes at a local cooking school. Working 70 hours a week I didn't have time to cook especially if it required pre-planning, much preparation or effort. Her simple patented cooking process was the answer - one pot, healthy ingredients, pop it in the oven and dinner was ready in 45 minutes. Elizabeth recently returned to my nutrition classroom for another great demonstration with teenagers and she again had them eating eggplant and asking for more. A past diet of junk food and a diagnosis with MS have resulted in Elizabeth becoming a certified natural health professional and caring deeply about how America is eating. Glorious One Pot Meals is a realistic, contemporary, economical, healthy and delicious cookbook to have on the shelf. One does not even have to thaw out the food first to prepare these meals. A perfect gift for the college student avoiding the "Freshman 15" weight gain as they can fix these recipes in a toaster over; the busy single who can barely get to the grocery store; the fast-track family on the move; or even the retiree or senior citizen tired of cooking. A great solution for American's lifestyle and desire to eat healthy. So fun, so easy, so yummy! Peggy Harrison - Centennial CO

Summary: I've reserved a copy of the new edition...
Comment: I had never heard of this type of one-pot cooking. I've had a 4 qt Staub cocotte sitting unused in a cupboard, so I checked out a library copy of "Glorious One-Pot Meals" and doubled the "Rosemary Chicken Comfort Food" recipe due to the size of my pot. I omitted the squash in deference to my husband and it turned out wonderfully! It was very hard for me not to add some liquid, but I didn't. The chicken was so moist and there was plenty of juice in the bottom. I could plate the potatoes, green beans, onion, mushrooms and chicken seperately and they maintained their individual textures and flavors. I'm sold and am very impatient for the new edition to be available!!

Summary: Fantastic Method & Cookbook
Comment: I live in Denver and have had the opportunity to learn this method directly from Elizabeth Yarnell at a local cooking school. Every time I make one of Elizabeth's recipes I am struck with how easy, nutritious and pretty they are. Anyone with a desire to cook healthy and fast meals should check out this method. Investing in a good dutch oven is key...but worth it!!

Summary: OK, not great
Comment: I've prepared four dishes from this book so far and none of them were fabulous. They are definetely easy to prepare and I love the one pot idea but the taste leaves something to be desired. One dish was much too dry. Maybe if you make a dish once and then improvise and tweak the ingredients, it might make them better, but I wouldn't serve any of them to company yet! The best thing about this book is that you can eat healthly because the meals are prepared with fresh vegetables, fruits, lean cuts of meat and fish and no additional fats. So from this standpoint, preparing healthy food it's a big plus. It's worth a try because I think if you're willing to experiment, you can make the basic recipes even better.

Summary: Not Sure Yet...
Comment: I'm not sure about this cooking method just yet. I've tried two recipes, neither of which was glorious. Both were tasty, but the textures were questionable, especially the rice. I found that a good quality basmati rice came out like a quick or instant rice. I'm still planning to try a pasta recipe, but I'm concerned that it may produce mushy pasta, while we prefer al dente. If the pasta dish doesn't turn out, I think it will be worthwhile to try the recipes with just meat and veggies, adjusting the proportions appropriately. It won't be a one-pot meal, but it will most likely be very good. And if nothing else, my new 2-quart Le Creuset oven that I purchased to try these recipes, is a dream!
