Whether you need to whip-up busy midweek fare for a famished family or present something chic and easy for a casual weekend dinner with friends – time is on your side with Donna Hay's latest cookbook, ‘The Instant Cook’, a moreish collection of over 190 fast, new and inspiring recipes, tips and tricks.

Each chapter begins with a personal note from Donna on the recipes ahead in a classic collection of chapters – soup; salads; pasta, rice & noodles; chicken; meat; fish & seafood; vegetables; sweets. Each chapter also includes a new feature with Donna showing you one essential sauce or dish, with three very clever twists for you to create three very fresh and original meals. Chapters then conclude with her ever-popular 'short order' ideas: quick dishes to serve on the side or as meals on their own, using simple methods and flavour combinations.

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.
