Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishers for this review copy. I follow Tasty on facebook and love watching the videos of different unique recipes, so for it to be in a handy book is even better. Obviously it is better to watch the video for clear instructions on how to make things, but the book is just as good. The recipes are original and look very good to eat. They pictures are clear and the instructions are simple and concise. Even the most basic of cook shouldn't go wrong with these. Well worth the buy! Five stars!

This review copy request was a no brainer for me. I love when the Tasty videos come up on social media. There is always something that I never thought to try, or even something that simplifies prep for a recipe I’ve already been using. The videos are easy to follow. However, if you’re looking to have a neat little place to have these recipes to pull out on the fly this recipe book is a great place to start. The pictures are simple and easy to follow. You can’t go wrong with these. The only issue I had was the version given doesn’t show the complete layout of the book itself. P.S. The Kick'n Quesadillas were a fave.

Tasty but in book format, what’s not to love?!
This the perfect recipe book for those who don’t know how to cook, are learning, or just don’t really feel like cooking. It’s simple, has easy to follow step by step instructions. With pictures. Bonus.
Each recipe looks Tasty (see what I did there?) and brilliant for any level of skill. Plus the book has conversions in each recipe. As a Brit this is massively handy cause I have several differently sized cups.

The recipes all looked super easy. Each recipe also has pictures for each step of the directions. I think this would be a great cookbook for someone just learning to cook. I think a college student, a newlywed, or anyone suddenly doing all the cooking would learn a ton. For more experienced cooks, you'll appreciate the color photos and the simple dessert ideas. I think easy cooking and easy baking are entirely different, so the easy dessert recipes felt more impressive.

I love this book. The simple, clear and concise presentation of the recipes make them easy to follow and encourages you to give them a try.
The food maybe be easy to make but they look tantalising and as the title suggests tasty.
Perfect addition to the bookshelf for students, new cooks or rusty ones.

Very easy to read and delicious looking pictures. Great cookbook and am planning to use many of the recipes.

If you love the Tasty recipes, you will really enjoy this cookbook. Beautiful pictures and step by step instructions of all the recipes. So easy to navigate through the ebook via the index as well.

Even the beginner cooks will find this book extremely easy to follow. Measurements are in both Metric and Imperial so no conversion is necessary.

I am sure anyone who purchases this book will agree to loving it as soon as they open it up.

Thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Harvard Common Press for the opportunity to read and give an honest review of this book.

Great variety of recipes. Used to follow Tasty on FB but have fewer and fewer recipes.

Another beautiful cook book from Quartro Publishing Group. I Love Tasty has beautiful step by step pictures and instructions, easy recipes with everyday ingredients most people should have on hand presented in clear and concise manner. This is a perfect book for the novice cook, though any cook would love it.

As its title suggests, this book is full of tasty recipes that I look forward to trying with my own family.

A great cookbook for real people. And the pictures! I love a cookbook with pictures of every recipe. This is definitely a book I will add to my home collection.

This is the perfect cookbook for me, an untrained, but curious cook.

I hate the cookbooks that go on and on about the emotional ties that the authors has to this recipe or that ingredient. Not to be rude -- but I don't really care how this recipe makes you feel -- just show me a decent picture of it so I know whether or not I'm failing. Sometimes cookbooks feel like a drag.

Then, Tasty videos entered my life and revitalized my interest in cooking. The steps are easy to follow and spell it all out for you in full detail. This book, while not an official Tasty title, does well to honor its inspiration, and features easy-to-make recipes that look, well, tasty.

I look forward to spending some time in the kitchen with this one.

I follow Tasty on Buzzfeed and love watching the videos, so for it to be in a book is even better. The illustrations are clear and the instructions are easy to follow.

I received an electronic free copy of I Love Tasty by Catrine Kelty from NetGalley for my opinion. This cookbook was beautifully illustrated and well put together. This would be a great cookbook for someone who really wants to learn to cook. The step by step pictures and descriptions are fantastic. Very well done!

Great cooking book where the recipes are explained step by step and the results look more interesting and tasty than beautiful, plus the ingredients are noting extraordinary and since the beginning I really believed that even I could make it in the end!

Grandioso libro di ricette dove queste ultime vengono spiegate passo passo ed il risultato finale sembra più buono che bello, inoltre gli ingredienti sono facili da trovare e anche io credo di potercela fare stavolta!

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

Oh my! The photos in this book will make your mouth water. I am tempted to try almost everything. It’s no surprise the book is called tasty. I love all the fresh vegetables in this book.

So you can judge for yourself, I’m sharing some of the recipes you will find in this book: jam-filled crepes; fresh blueberry pancakes; fruits with triple ginger sauce; rich French toast; creamy scrambled eggs on English muffins; cheddar bacon muffins; bacon, cheese and onion quiche; egg and cheese breakfast burrito; crunchy roasted chickpeas; garlicky white bean dip; never soggy nachos; panko popcorn shrimp; zesty marinated olives; Tuscan vegetable soup; Asian inspired cucumber salad; multicolored tortellini salad; Nicoise salad; open-faced croque monsieur; griddled Thai chicken sandwiches; kickin’ quesadillas; naan mini pizzas; spaghetti carbonara; your new go-to mac and cheese; loaded stir-fry rice; twice-baked stuffed russets; breadcrumb-topped stuffed tomatoes; not-quite kitchen-sink stir-fry; easy free-form meatloaf; classic roast chicken; true shepherds pie; sole meuniere; triple threat chocolate cupcakes; gingery pear crisp and almost like mom’s apple pie.

This is a definitely a cookbook worth trying.

I received an advance copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I am a big fan of I love Tasty on facebook, and have the app on my iPhone. But I do love a good cookbook!! Beautifully illustrated and easy to read, this will add to my cooking repertoire.

A gorgeous cookery book- which breaks down the recipes into small steps with lovely photos. There are some very 'tasty' recipes inside and I can't wait to try Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Brownies and Kickin' Quesadillas- they look delicious. I am going to have to buy a paper copy of this book for my collection. I've also liked the Tasty group on Facebook and look forward to working through some of the recipes.

I love tasty recipes! They are my favorite, so of course I was intrigued by a cookbook. I loved it! The recipes are great! I already have a few I can't wait to try!

This is a must for any public library. With the popularity of Tasty on Facebook and other social media I'm sure this would be flying off the shelves. The format of the file seemed a bit off so it made it harder to browse; however, from what I could tell the book is filled with easy, step-by-step recipes and loaded with colorful pictures.

Was this review helpful?

I found the title for this book was definitely appropriate as I have made a few of the recipes, as has my teenage Daughter, and they were easy to follow and were certainly tasty. It contains an excellent mixture of breakfast, snack, soups, vegetable dishes, dinners, desserts and drinks so something for everything.
The recipes used everyday easy to source ingredients and they were accompanied by pictures similar to step by step guides, which were great quality.
I think this book is ideal for beginners or people who want everyday recipe ideas.

Chock full of recipes, chock full of step by step directions, and chock full of pictures to make sure all your recipes come out as they should!! yeah, I love tasty!!

I must confess I had not heard of the Tasty YouTube channel or its popularity, but if it's encouraging young people to cook then that's great! This book is really aimed at beginners, with lavishly illustrated step-by-step recipes and LOTS of photos, for example - photo of raw ingredients, then photo of ingredients in mixing bowl, in pan, in oven, as served etc. While I'm not the target reader for this book I do appreciate that it would make a fantastic gift for students, young or first-time homemakers, or really anyone who appreciates such basic instructions. The recipes are good, seem fairly healthy and featuring many everyday items such as meatballs, mac and cheese through to apple pie. As a first cookbook, what's not to like?

Tasty recipes are always my favorite, so when I saw a cookbook full of them I had to try it out. The I Love Tasty unofficial cookbook by Catrine Kelty was packed full of great, easy recipes. Emphasis on the easy. Those are my favorite kind of recipes.

As a single mom I am constantly running. Finding good, healthy, well-balanced meals for my house that fit into our chaotic schedule is key to us eating well. I Love Tasty was the perfect cookbook for my family. Full of recipes of all different kinds and for all different tastes, everyone in the family will have a favorite in no time. Whether you have a house full or you are an individual, these recipes can be tweaked to fit whatever number you are trying to serve.

If you want something delicious, yet easy to make with well-known ingredients, then this is the cookbook for you. Check it out!

I have loved watching the Tasty ads on Facebook for so long, so when I saw the opportunity to review this cookbook to say I was excited, would be an understatement. This book is just a great as the Facebook commercials, full of brightly color images and scrumptious looking pictures. I found it easy to follow along and even easier to snarf up the food that I created. This cookbook is absolutely wonderful!

Simple and well thought out recipes for everyday cooking. Accessible for even beginning cooks.

One of our cooking teachers stopped by the library today and we had fun discussing new cookbooks, especially I LOVE TASTY by Catrine Kelty. If you are not familiar with the Tasty website, have a look. I was introduced to the delicious recipes there by my 20-something children and I think this cookbook is a great fit for that same group. I LOVE TASTY, the unofficial cookbook, is filled with images and easy to follow recipes perfect for the beginning cook – much like the website itself. I really liked that the process is photographed as well as the final dish. Just a few favorites from the cookbook include "Good Morning Breakfasts" with Cinnamon-Chocolate Chip Muffins, "All Kinds of Vegetable Dishes" with Zucchini Pancakes, and comfort foods like True Shepherd’s Pie or Flaky Chicken Potpie in the "Meat, Poultry and Fish for Dinner" section. These 100 or so basic recipes are all relatively easy with a limited number of familiar ingredients and provide a wonderful opportunity to explore for new cooks. Looking for other cookbook ideas? Don’t forget Good and Cheap by Leanne Brown – my colleague checked that one out, too.

I love the web series of recipes and the book is as easy to follow as the series. Terrific recipes with clear instructions will make everyone an instant chef!

Everybody loves those Tasty food videos that people love to paste on Facebook; they are created by Buzzfeed, and show step-by-step instructions for making delicious dishes in less than a minute. The only problem is that it’s hard to follow them without pausing, and most of us have to go back and watch them over and over. That’s why I Love Tasty; The Unofficial Cookbook is so nice. Catrine Kelty has captured the videos and given step-by-step instructions on a written page, so when we prepare those tempting dishes, we don’t have to watch it over and over and pause it. It’s nice too, to have the ingredients and instructions on a written page.

Actually, I Love Tasty; The Unofficial Cookbook is just a regular cookbook with lots of pictures of instructions, but because the recipes are like the ones we get on Facebook, it makes it more fun. This cookbook is a winner!

There are recipes here for everyone, and most are quick and easy. The photographs are well-done, and the book is well-organized. There are appetizers, salads, main dishes, side dishes, and desserts, so no matter what the occasion, there is a recipe that will fit.

The best part, of course, is that the recipes actually turn out like the pictures, and they actually taste good. Some recipes introduce time-saving shortcuts that busy cooks will use again and again. The Asian-Inspired Cucumber Salad is delicious and goes well with the Griddled Thai Chicken Sandwiches for a complete lunch or light supper. Other excellent recipes include yummy Cheddar Bacon Muffins, Naan Mini Pizzas, Ham and Cheese Cauliflower Gratin, and Panko Baked Chicken Cutlets. There is an easy stir-fry, juicy turkey burgers, and even a shortcut chicken pot pie.

The recipes are geared to cooks with little or no experience, but will also appeal to those who have more advanced skills. I Love Tasty is fun, and would make a great gift.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

Readers are helped through these fantastic recipes with step-by-step instructions accompanied by images. I'd love to see how this looked when formatted in hard copy, because I think this would definitely be a cookbook for beginner or intermediate cooks to pick up.
