I love the way she shows you how to make enough in your first meal to have leftovers for subsequent meals - it takes some of the guesswork or planning out of the rest of the week.
I also love the souces she tells you how to make that can be used in lots of recipes.
My husband and I received this book as a wedding gift, and it's been wonderful to use! As a senior in college and working a part time job on the side, Miller's book was enjoyable to use and most of the recipes worked for our newlywed budget (even more so than Rachael Ray's cookbook we received at the same time!). I'm a pretty slow cook when I first try recipes, but most of the recipes I have tried so far have been close to her projected times.
Last, but definitely not least, read the opening --"The Quick Fix Kitchen"! Miller gives great tips on what to have in the pantry at all times and how to do shopping. I love this cookbook (and so does my husband... he didn't have to eat fast food or Macaroni and Cheese every night for the first year of our marriage!). I just bought it for my mom since she's started working again and I'm hoping she'll like it as much as we do!
