Real Food Fast

by Mary Berry, Juliet Piddington (Photographer)

We all love to eat well and enjoy the freshest, lightest ingredients, but who wants to spend hours on complicated recipes? Mary Berry uses clever ideas and smart shortcuts to put your favorite flavours on the tables in the shortest time. Why make pastry, pit olives, or labor over onion chutney when first-class products are available. Concentrate instead on fresh vegetables, top-quality fish and meat, and the little extras—a parcel of young shoots or some chocolate flakes—that give the finished dish a lift. Mary's easy-to-follow recipes and tips give you mouthwatering meals that don't take hours.
