Donna Hay is swiftly becoming the source American cooks go to when they ask themselves, "What should we have for dinner tonight?" She has garnered a passionate global following for her fresh and modern approach to food -- bringing out clean, sparkling flavors with simple techniques and streamlined instructions. In The Instant Cook, she offers more than a compendium of flexible recipes; it is an elegantly simple philosophy of cooking, and of eating. Donna Hay pulls together flavor combinations and cooking skills from the Mediterranean and the Pacific Rim - two of the most luscious and quick-cooking cuisines on the planet - to create delicious meals with a handful of ingredients in a few minutes. She gives home cooks the confidence to cook with instinct and with style. Exquisite full color photographs on every page illustrate Donna's signature look -- chic yet never fussy. It reminds you that cooking is a pleasure. Pour a glass of wine and catch up with family as you cook; shop without waste or confusion; host a weeknight dinner party with little planning and less effort. The Instant Cook is destined to be the cookbook that is never put back on the shelf.

As a real cook book addict and collectioner, I have my own requirements for any cook book to meet. But as far as Donna Hay is concerned, I don't even have to see the cover... I own all Donna Hay's books, so I've just bought this one and am already looking forward to the next one. The pictures are stylish and so appealing just because they are unpretentious. The recipes are modern, simple and always a hit. Highly recommended !

I work as a cook on large sailing yachts and have adopted this book through a friend, it's fantastic for speed.
If you've got the ingredients ready to go, you can have excellent meals in minutes. Really fresh and crisp. Love it!
Also check out Annabel Langbein, her and Donna Hay are my absolute favourites.

This book is great! There are gorgeous pictures for every meal and the meals actually look the same when you cook them! They are truly instant meals, taking no time at all to make and usually using pretty basic ingredients that you can easily get hold of. Usually your instant, basic meals aren't that tasty - but these are all mouthwatering! I've often used it when cooking for guests because the meals look and taste impressive and don't involve hours of stress in the kitchen. You can actually enjoy the time out with your friends at the dinner table and still produce amazing creations that make them think you've spent hours slaving away. It also includes variations on meals, so if you don't have any chicken there's a variation with beef etc. Would recommend this book to anyone.
