Not I .......quit buying cookbooks .......Google directs you to wonderful websites with great ideas - recipes with video/sound. The one I bought from "M" was an absolute bummer - she said you didn't need to do special shopping - your pantry supplies all that was needed. My pantry never heard of half the stuff. Threw the book away.

@coffee drinker - I'd love to win her recipe contest and get a free copy, but if I don't, I'll be buying her book. I have tried many of her recipes over the years from her cookbooks and website and haven't encountered a single dud. The concept of this book is great: No matter what your cooking style or available gadgets, you can easily make everything. I already have a zillion cookbooks, but I am looking forward to checking out what Meredith has "cooked up"...

I ordered it. I have several of her cookbooks and enjoy them. I like to read them as well as cook from them. My husband likes her recipes. I can't wait to get it.

I am very tempted but I bought her last book and haven’t cooked a thing out of it. One pot got me though. I will wait and see some of the demos.

We already have a few one pot/crock pot cook books. And I do also look up recipes online, if I want to keep them I print them. We used to get a couple of recipe mags and stopped those too. DH reads the ones we have all the time and makes many recipes - he really loves to cook and is great at it.

No longer buy cookbooks. Special dietary restrictions and cook only for myself so most recipes aren't appropriate. Surprised to see in e-mail that her book only has 88 pages.

Actually, there are 88 recipes--and I'm guessing that the low number is because the book will include variations on each recipe so you can use different methods for cooking them (e.g., stovetop/oven, pressure cooker, slow cooker, or air fryer). The cover notes that there are "180+ options" included for the recipes.

From what I saw on social media, looked like the print was small and in light colors. Doubt I'll buy it but have to see it presented.

I purchased the Mr Food Cookbook that has the nutrition information in it. Like it because I can calculate the points for my diet plan. It has many good recipes also.

I’m getting it. I love Meredith’s cook books. To me, the are more like reference books than just recipes. Her pressure cooker and air fryer cook books have lots of useful information. I’m hoping this one has tips and tricks to converting slow cooker recipes to pressure cooker recipes.

I can't imagine there'd be any comparison between Meredith's new cookbook and Tara's. Meredith is a professionally trained chef. Tara - simply a home cook like most of us. People may love Tara's bakeware, a product she happened to fall into and became a successful entrepreneur - but nothing about that suggests she's an excellent cook. People will buy her cookbook because they like her and that's fine, but not because she knows what she's doing in the kitchen. People like Meredith as well but will choose her cookbook because they know she knows how to create high quality recipes.

I am not sure if I will get this or not. I have one of her pressure cooker cook books and both of the air fryer books. I prefer cook books that have simple, easy to get in my little area, items. DH and I are not fancy eaters and I have noticed in her other cookbooks the recipes are kind of fancy. I just try to adapt them to how we eat and things taste good.

I love the cookbooks that are compiliations of recipes from every day people. I find a lot of those at yard sales and flea markets. I also have a rule that when I bring new ones in, others have to go because I don't have a lot of room.

@loriqvc and @coffee drinker I ordered one for this reason. I don't always want to get out the pressure cooker or air fryer. I like that she has sheet pan recipes too!

@PA Mom-mom I know they're pretty easy, but I'd love to see an entire cookbook dedicated to sheet pan recipes. I saw one on-line and made it and after dinner, I kept looking back to the table and stove for more pots and pans to wash. How could these recipes be so simple and ingnored all these years. At least I had never heard of them!!!
