I was very disappointed in this cookbook. It wasn’t anything like I
thought it would be. I have another one of her cookbooks that I really
like.

Rachael Ray’s exuberantly titled “Yum-O!” is geared towards families, and a portion of the profits goes to her anti-obesity campaign. Noble cause, good idea. . . but does it work?
“Yum-O!” is a melange of recipes. They’re rather complicated,have too many ingredients (not exactly economical),and her condescending directions for the “itty-bitties” (little ones) are either minimal or inappropriate. Either kids hardly participate, or they’re doing difficult stuff. To Ray’s credit,there are recipes from her young fans,such as fish tacos, pancake tacos with fruit salsa, and chili lime chicken, which are actually easy and delish. There are some genuinely good recipes like sweet and spicy sesame noodles, peanut butter and jelly French toast, and Buffalo chicken chili. It’s a mixed bag. Some good,some mediocre, some horrific. Ray gets cutesy with “More peas if you please penne”,”Penne-wise pumpkin pasta” and “Chili cheese dogs in beach blankets. ”
Now,for the bad. There’s a worshipful attitude to whole grain pasta. It doesn’t cook well,doesn’t cook well either,and tastes awful. There are also some stomach-churning food combinations. Brocco-cheese burritos? Ham and cheese macaroni with asparagus? The “special ham cheese sandwich” has pickle juice. The “inside-out turkey burgers with O-Rings” is,um,creative. With high food prices, Ray’s multiple ingredients,as well as her emphasis on meat and dairy, don’t help (there’s even Gruyere) They don’t help the waistline either. Her unholy food combinations is enough to make one a vegan like Moby.
“Yum-O!” shows that one celebrity in the kitchen ruins the soup. Ray was better when she started out. When it comes to easy,kid-friendly dishes,try her original “30 Minute Meals” instead.

Nothing really new here. A number of the recipes can be found online. And before
anyone says it will use up more trees to print them well once they are printed
you can put them in a plastic pages in a notebook and keep them.
I have a problem with a comment of hers. She has said in the book and one her shows
that if you eat healthy than you can eat more. Wrong in so many ways. Just because
something is healthy doesn’t mean you can eat a lot of it. You can still gain
weight eating healthy food. Portion control is what people should do.
Also when you fry bacon even turkey bacon, you don’t need to add oil to the pan.
I applaud her attmepts in getting kids to eat right but it isn’t worth the money
to buy it.

This book is good for people with children. I will try some of the recipes, but it does not compare to her expresslane meals.
