About the author

Hi! My name is Anna Lisa, and I am a content creator, recipe developer, and cookbook author. I create recipes using only 5 ingredients or less, in order to save time and money. I'm a busy mama of 2 and always looking for ways to create shortcuts in order to help others with a busy lifestyle when it comes to dinnertime. Check out my cookbook available on Amazon!

- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2025BUY IT. I’ve only tried two things so far, but they were both EXCELLENT. The recipes are so easy, so clear, and we can all agree Trader Joe’s is a great place to shop! Thank you so much for this wonderful cookbook!! I can’t believe how many fabulous meals there are that I didn’t know existed and I’ve been walking past the ingredients on a weekly basis!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2025Loved this book - it was the perfect house warming gift for a friend! There are so many easy recipes to follow along with. You can get all the ingredients you need at Trader Joes which makes it so much easier! The book is a great size and aesthetically pleasing which is great.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2024I love Trader Joe's and I love cooking! This is a great cookbook for busy people who want to eat well. The recipes are well written & easy to follow, simple directions & beautiful pictures! The paper quality isn't great-the pages are a bit thin, and I'd be happy to pay a few $$ more to get a better quality, more durable product. Also, keep in mind that many Trader Joe's products are seasonal & although I didn't see many of them in this cookbook, there are a few so you may need to just make some simple substitutions. Other than that, I love this & have dozens of recipes marked to try 😋
