My Review:

With the heat of summer and the air conditioner running at full blast I was thrilled to receive a cookbook to review that required to actual cooking! I am always looking for recipes that will help me keep my kitchen cool in the summer and The No Cook No Bake Cookbook has a great variety of recipes to choose from. This cookbook is divided into 4 main sections: Breakfast/Brunch, Starters and Sides, Main Dishes and Desserts. After a brief introduction that includes a few notes on cooking and tools of the trade the book moves right into recipes. I love that there are a TON of brightly colored and absolutely delicious looking photos. Breakfasts range from a no cook oatmeal and fresh fruit smoothies for breakfast to cold soups and spring rolls for appetizers. They use a ton of fresh ingredients but also use the occasional store bought item like frozen waffles or pita pockets. A few of the recipe do require boiling water which may or may not technically be considered cooking but since it doesn’t generate much heat in my kitchen I am fine with it. There are a few resources listed in the back if you have trouble finding certain ingredients but I didn’t see any that were really out there weird. Most would be readily found in a good sized grocery store.

Overall, I think The No Cook No Bake Cookbook is a great addition to the kitchen library, especially if you are trying to survive a hot summer without turning your oven on!
