Product Description
Product Description
A collection of over 150 recipes that take less than 45 minutes to make, from start to finish.
From the Author
This Book is Much More Than Just a Collection of Recipes.
When we set out to write The No-Time-to-Cook Cookbook, we didn't want to produce just another collection of recipes. We wanted to create recipes that take less than 45 minutes to prepare, are simple and easy to follow, and that work each and every time you make them. In addition to reducing preparation and cooking time, we wanted to reduce the time it takes to shop for ingredients. That's why virtually all recipes require no more than 5 main ingredients (ingredients other than staples). But most of all, we wanted to create recipes that are truly delicious.

This is a "user friendly" book with a number of special features. It has a hardback cover that encloses a spiral binding, allowing the book to lie flat and stay open as you work, so that you won't need a can of soup to keep the book from closing. To make the book even easier to use, every recipe is printed in large, clear, easy-to-read type. Beautiful full-color photos are found throughout the book, and whimsical drawings decorate the pages, making the book as fun to use as it is practical. A wide variety of time-saving tips and suggestions are included as well.
The recipes--all of which have been kitchen-tested--include soups; sandwiches; salads; pastas; poultry, beef, and pork entrees; seafood dishes; vegetarian fare; and veggie and grain side dishes. There's even a chapter on quick desserts. A sampling of favorite recipes include Broiled Portabella Cheeseburgers, Crisp Chicken Cutlets, Garlic and Rosemary Roasted Pork Tenderloin, and Penne from Heaven.
We're very proud of The No-Time-to-Cook Cookbook and hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed writing it. We look forward to hearing your comments.

Easy recipes that don't require exotic or hard-to-find ingredients. Great variety of recipes too, from soups and sandwiches, to dinners, to desserts. An invaluable resource!

Worth Every Penny,
By E. Blake "Hula Girl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The No-time-to-cook Cookbook: Fabulous Dishes for Today's Fast-paced Lifestyles (Spiral-bound)
I found this book in my sister-in-law's kitchen and started flipping thru it. At first, I was prepared to just copy down a couple of recipes for myself, but after looking thru most of them, I felt compelled and excited to read the introduction. There was such a wealth of knowledge dispensed on those first pages, and scattered throughout the book that I knew, I had to own it. And since my sis wasn't about to give her copy up (as she loves it too) I bought my own.
My boyfriend and I have made several of the recipes and they've all been delicious. Not only are they quick and easy to make, but they're nutritionally conscious as well - as detailed at the bottom of each recipe. And there is a great variety of dishes to choose from. Shopping is made easy as the ingredients are divided into "staples" (of which one would most likely have on-hand) and "main ingredients" (which you might need to buy). But the ingredients are not hard to find and often times, we already have them, so we could whip up any number of recipes. With our crazy schedules, it has been a new-found, fun activity for us to pick a new recipe out of the book and make it together. And it has definitely saved us a lot of money from going out to restaurants just for convenience, and a lot of fat from those enticingly fast fast-food places. We can have a delicious, healthy meal prepared and ready to eat in practically the same amount of time it would've taken us to get in the car, drive over there, order, wait, pay, wait, get it and drive back home. The authors put a lot of thought into creating this book, even down to the spiral binding, which allows it to lie flat and stay open! I look forward to experiencing many more of the other dishes offered in this book. |
