Featuring hundreds of recipes for cooks with gourmet tastes and limited time, a simple, fun-to-use cookbook offers recipes for one-course dinners and elaborate feasts, including valuable time-saving tips for appetizers, soups and salads, meat and poultry entrTes, vegetable and side dishes, desserts, and more. Original.
This book has been a staple in my kitchen for a decade, and I'd highly recommend it to any beginning cook or to home cooks who don't have a lot of free time to spend over a stove. Most of the recipes are very easy and straightforward and tasty - the appetizers in particular have always been big hits at parties - and some of the tips and advice are lifesavers, especially the chart for converting ingredient measurements and suggestions for substituting ingredients. A quick look at this book has rescued more than one dinner when I discovered I didn't have something I needed in the house.
