What you're saying..
First of all the title should read Cheap Fast Great! I found your book at a Scholastic book fair at my daughter's elementary school and am absolutely floored by it. I subscribe to many food magazines, I have many other cookbooks but hands down when I want something different, easy and delicious I go straight for your book. So, thank you very much, and my family thanks you as well.
