Product Description

Product Description

This fantastic new book, by bestselling author Lindsey Bareham takes the worry and work out of entertaining with a sensational collection of dinners for six that can all be cooked in under an hour - and without breaking the bank. We no longer have to be daunted by thinking up a three-course dinner menu, nor have the occasion dominated by the stress of having to spend all evening in the kitchen making sure that all the food is ready to serve at the right time. "Dinner in a Dash" contains 50 different menus, each consisting of three delicious, seasonally balanced courses, as well as a shopping list to minimise time spent in the supermarket and a work plan to take you through all the preparation and cooking necessary to have everything finished within the 60 minute timeframe. There are menus to suit all tastes and appetites including highlights such as Warm Lentil Salad with Spinach and Poached Egg, followed by Tuna with Cherry Tomato Gaucamole, with a dessert of Chocolate Crepes with Rum Butter Sauce; or Mushrooms a la Grecque, followed by Lemon Chicken with Potatoes and Spinach and finishing with Roast Pears with Marsala and Cinnamon. In addition, each of the 150 recipes is given in full at the back of the book so the reader can use the individual dishes independently and in different combinations.


About the Author

Lindsey Bareham made her name as a restaurant critic and food writer for Time Out magazine. She is perhaps best known, however, for the daily recipe column in the Evening Standard that she wrote for eight years. Now, as a freelance food writer and broadcaster, she writes the weekly Cheats Dinner Party column in the Sunday Telegraph s Stella magazine and contributes a monthly recipe column to Saga. Lindsey has written eleven popular cookery books including In Praise of the Potato, A Celebration of Soup, The Big Red Book of Tomatoes, Just One Pot and most recently The Fish Store. In collaboration with Simon Hopkinson she produced Roast Chicken and Other Stories, which has been voted the most useful cookery book ever by chefs and food writers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lovely recipes but the `different' format may not appeal to all, especially those less experienced cooks, 17 Sep 2007
By ABCeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
A bit different to the norm, `Dinner in a Dash` aims to cover what one should be doing each step of the way to cook the meals in the chosen menu trio rather than a step by step guide to an individual dish, from start to finish.
This works in principle but becomes a little complicated if mixing and matching, as it is necessary to pre-read the whole menu in order to separate the relevant instructions for each independent dish.
Although each recipe is cross-referenced and summarised later in the book, to aid this process, it does seem to contradict the original aim of the book!
A photograph of one of the dishes appears with each recipe trio, but it is not immediately obvious which it is, in some cases.

However, having said all of that, fans will welcome another cookbook written with typical Lindsey flair.

The opening text for:-
`Roasted Red Pepper Soup with Saffron'
`A whiff of saffron mingles with the gorgeous smell of roasting peppers in this stunning bright orange-red soup. The red theme continues throughout the meal with roast tomatoes providing the perfect juicy sidekick to creamy Parmesan-rich spinach polenta and pink chump chops. The meal concludes with dark red plums poached in red wine with vanilla, served lukewarm with lemony crème fraiche.'

144 high quality shiny pages split over 2 main chapters:- `The Menus', and `The Recipes', along with an introduction, and a section entitled:-`The Well-Dressed Store and Useful Kit', and a full index.

A full shopping list commences each recipe, divided into e.g.- `Green Groceries', `Groceries', 'Creamy Stuff', along with the other requirements such as `Fish', `Bread', 'Meat', ....'Booze', if required, along with any notes re extra requirements, e.g. tin foil or cling film.
An opening note heads up the time guide divided into 15 minute slots, e.g. 0-15 minutes, 15-30 minutes...... 45-60 minutes - these slots define precisely what to do to cover the whole menu.
The recipe set concludes with the requirements for the finishing touches and the serving.

1.0 out of 5 stars very confusing, 14 Aug 2007
By sybil (Ireland) - See all my reviews
While I am not doubting that the recipes in this book are probably good the format lets the book down. The title "50 dinners in a dash - 50 dinners for 6 in 60 minutes" doesn't actually tell you about the confusion inside the book. It is 50 dinners but it really is 50 menus and each menu - starter, main course and dessert is done in one go. It tells you the method of making all three courses at once. It gives you the shopping list for all three courses at once. The method is not in bullet points. It may start by telling you to take ice cream out of the freezer, for example and the next thing it tells you is to boil a kettle - nothing to do with the dessert but it is needed for another course.

This may be exactly what you are looking for if you want these exact 3 courses but what happens if the shop happens to have run out of a main ingredient for one of the other courses? It is very difficult to pull all the pieces together for the other two recipes and discard the one you don't want. Likewise if you actually want to use 3 recipes from 3 different menus then you will have to go to the back of the book where the recipes are given individually in the format very like a newspaper cutting ie, small writing, no pictures - like the old column style found years ago.

I had a previous book by Lindsey Bareham (One pot meals) and I had loved it so I was really looking forward to this one but I was badly disappointed. Don't waste your money.
