30-Minute Meals with Six Sisters' Stuff: 100+ Quick and Easy Meals the Whole Family Will Love!

 

30-Minute Meals with Six Sisters' Stuff is a nice collection of family-friendly 30 minute homestyle meals by Six Sisters' Stuff. Released 2nd Sept 2025 by Shadow Mountain, it's 240 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats. 

This is a graphically appealing, well written, and accessible cookbook with an array of fast-prep menus with recipes to appeal to most tastes. Layout and formatting are appealing and beautifully photographed throughout. There is no introduction or basic techniques or tool info. The book hops right into the recipe selections. The recipes which are included are arranged roughly thematically: appetizers, beef, chicken, meatless, pork, seafood, turkey, sides, and desserts. There are 100 meals (which can be mixed and matched) with recipes, though many are not very complex at all, which is both beginner friendly and stress relieving, and not "fancy", but also potentially duplicated in other basic cookbooks. There's also a lot of reliance on the ever-trusty pressure cooker/instant pot, so cooks who don't have access to one in their kitchens should be aware of this.

Ingredient measurements are supplied in imperial (American) measurements only.  The nutritional information is not included.  Each recipe includes a header with a short description of the recipe and approximate servings. Extra tips or recipe alternatives are listed in text boxes in the recipes. The recipes themselves are fairly straightforward and are made for the most part with easily sourced ingredients. Many are very simple, none of them are overly complex. The photography is abundant and clear and the recipes are illustrated simply and clearly.  

There are many simple "everyday" recipes which are anything but boring. Especially nice are that a lot of the appetizer recipes can be used as standalones to take to potlucks or gatherings, and would make really great "game day" or tailgate party recipes.

Four stars. This is a fun and practical cookbook which will be used. It would make a superlative housewarming gift to a friend or family member living on their own - college student, new graduate, newlyweds, kids flying the nest, etc or a friend trying to eat more health consciously with better quality ingredients as well as a nice acquisition for the home library.
