 Rating:  - a favorite we keep turning to over and over againThis has become a staple for us (and for my mother-in-law whenever she comes to visit!) -- with a 1yr old and two busy work schedules, we don't have much time to do the complicated, layered recipes that we usually love. But these recipes are really pretty doable in the 30min window they promise, and I've learned good shortcut techniques for other recipes too! What's nice is that they don't sacrifice on taste even as they come up with creative ways to cut down on the cooking time -- my daughter ...

I am now cooking roasted chicken breast and pan seared salmon for dinner... can't wait to try more. Great time saving methods. Rating:  - Luke warmI'm not a cook. I pretty much want the quickest and fastest method to achieve a reasonable result when I'm cooking for myself. When I bought the book, I hoped to have 30 minute meals. But some of the recipes call for preparations (such as actually cooking the meat before) and then slapping it all together in 30 mins for the actualy 'eating' time. This isnt' a bad idea.

Other than that, it has a lot of great time saving tips. Rating: - Excellent for a non-serious chefThis book has a remarkable number of really good recipes and a few duds. The collection is varied and covers traditional American to Thai. The biggest downside is that they don't suggest side dishes for their main courses. However, the real value is that they explain how to do things the right way, and why things work. Highly recommended for anyone who is not a serious chef, and doesn't want to spend hours preparing every meal. |
