Editor's Take
Amazon/Target-style reviews and Goodreads readers generally describe this cookbook as practical, approachable, and strong for weeknight cooking, especially if you like fast recipes and slow-cooker meals. Several readers say the recipes are easy to follow, do not require hard-to-find ingredients, and work well for meal prep; a smaller number of reviews call the book unremarkable, overly health-focused, or not especially exciting.
On Goodreads, one reviewer called it a favorite cookbook and said every recipe they tried was a success, while another said the recipes were boring and not worth the hype. A blog review also praised it as useful for busy cooks who want easy, healthy dinners. On Target, shopper feedback for the same title includes comments that it makes weeknight dinners easier and that readers have already cooked multiple recipes shortly after buying it.
YouTube search results surfaced videos about the cookbook, including a review video titled Skinnytaste Fast and Slow Cookbook Review includes link to Weight Watchers SmartPoints and another promotional video featuring Gina Homolka discussing the book. These results suggest the title has real video coverage, though the search evidence here is limited to the surfaced video titles and snippets.
