 Excellent Cookbook ( ruaidh1975 )
I was so happy to come across this cookbook; I'm a huge fan of Trader Joe's and always looking for ideas on what to do with the tasty sauces they sell. This cookbook contains easy recipes that are quick to make. If one of the ingredients is no longer carried by TJ's, the authors have a great website with substitutions listed.
I've already made several recipes from this book and they're a hit. If you've got a Trader Joe's in your neighborhood, this cookbook is a must.

 If you love Trader Joes, you'll love this cookbook
Love using this cookbook to try out new Trader Joe's products. Especially loved the easy soup and pasta recipes. Try Tortellini and chicken sausage soup, Gnocchi with Pancetta, and Chicken with Eggplant, all good.

 Should have known...
The cookbook is vacuum sealed in the book stores and the 'Search Inside' option on Amazon doesn't actually show any recipes. That alone should have told me not to purchase the book but I am a HUGE fan of Trader Joe's. I should have trusted my insticts. The cookbook isn't creative nor would I consider most recipes as actual recipes. For example, there is a recipe called Deep Sea Adventure. Basically, it tells you to purchase the frozen/cooked shrimp and five premade sauces. It goes on to tell you to fill five dipping bowls with each of the sauces and then arrange the shrimp on a platter. Did I really need to spend money to get this recipe?
No wonder Trader Joe's isn't endorsing this cookbook. In fact, I'm a little surprised they aren't asking that their name be removed from the title.

A great cookbook if you live near Trader Joe's ( asdflkje )
I haven't had the cookbook long enough to evaluate many of the recipes myself--you can look to other reviews for that. (I'll echo, though, that many of the recipes are extremely simple. For me, that's a good thing.) The only other thing that I would like to add is that this cookbook is definitely limited by the fact that Trader Joe's will inevitably discontinue items that are important for certain recipes. The authors have a list of recommended substitutions on their website, though. You can find the website by Googling the name of the book. Once you find it, just click on the tab labeled "substitutions." The website also has a blog that the authors update regularly. They appear to read all of the comments and respond to many of them. They seem very friendly and quite helpful. One gets the impression that they recognize that this book is potentially a gold mine for them, and they want to support it as well as they possibly can. For example, they do TV appearances, etc. to promote the book.
All in all,I'm certainly glad that I bought the book.
