Well, I think it's awesome!!    My husband and I watched it the day it arrived and we got lots of ideas. Jodi even had some dishes on the DVD that are not in the cookbook. The DVD is what I would call user friendly, and it is for the day to day folks. The instructions are easy to follow and the ingredients, for the most part, are what you would find in a well stocked kitchen cabinet and pantry. As of the writing of this e-mail, we have had the cookbooks approximately one week and so far we have tried the Lasagna, Garlic Chicken with Pasta, and the Nutty Bars, from cookbook I. From Cookbook II we have had the Orange French Toast, Roasted Potatoes and tonight we are having Pizza.   Thank you so much for these wonderful cookbooks. I will without a doubt be ordering books III and IV shortly. --Irene Eldredge
