CLOSED! 4 Ingredients Cookbook Review & Giveaway!

Every mom wants to save time.  There are only so many hours in a day and when we’re picking kids up from school, taking them to and from ballet, soccer practice or whatever the activity may be, finding the time to put a good dinner on the table can be a major stress.  We just want a quick, easy and cost-effective home cooked meal for our family.

Two life-long friends Kim and Rachel were moms like you and me living in Australia.  They dreamed up an idea over a glass of wine to create a cookbook to make their lives easier with recipes containing just 4 or less ingredients.  Their first book aptly named 4 Ingredients became a breakout bestseller in both Australia and the UK selling more than 2 million copies to date.  They have also printed 3 additional books, a cookware line and 2 popular television programs that air in over 16 countries.   With a spring launch of their original bestseller, 4 Ingredients, Kim and Rachel have entered the US market.

4 Ingredients has over 400 tried and tested recipes.  The book is extremely “busy-mom friendly” with each recipe being explained in an average of only 4 sentences and all recipes can be prepared with just a 1cup, 1 tsp, or 1 tbsp measurements so even clean up is a breeze.  There is even a special section including meals specially designed for children including lunchbox meals.

I love to cook and collect cookbooks.  I had a lot of fun checking out 4 Ingredients because the recipes are so simple that you think to yourself in some cases “why didn’t I think of that recipe”.  I like how many of the recipes are easy to prepare that I can even have my little chefs help out.  The book really helps take the stress out of that question ‘What’s for dinner.”

One thing I did find interesting was the wording in the book.  I like how they did not edit out their chosen words to appeal to an American audience.  It makes for a much more interesting read and kinda puts a smile on your face when you read a word like Scrummy.

If you want to add some simplicity to the kitchen without sacrificing good taste then check out 4 Ingredients by Kim McCosker & Rachael Bermingham.  You can also learn more about them on their fabulous website www.4ingredients.com.au.
