Product Description

Product Description
One hundred easy recipes from the irrepressible TV cook, Ainsley Harriott.

Excerpted from Meals in Minutes by Ainsley Harriott. Copyright © 1999. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved
So… why meals in minutes? Well the amount of times people have come up to me, especially in supermarkets, occasionally in the dry cleaner’s, now and then in the florist’s and also in the Gent’s, and asked me to recommend a delicious recipe that can be knocked up in minutes rather than hours is quite staggering! I discovered that these people all had something in common: some worked strange shifts, some were loaded with children, but generally it was a case of working hard and playing hard, yet everyone wanted to eat fantastic home-cooked food in a flash. So I wanted to write a book and make a television series that would hopefully give them food for thought and answer all those culinary conundrums. And here it is!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fail Safe, 1 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Every recipe we have tried from this book has been great - unlike many of the cookery books we own (DELIA!) it is not 'trial and error' to make these dishes work. Just as good for dinner parties as for regular meals - they're always tasty, easy and successful. We love this book! If you only have one recipe book - buy this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars my fave cookery book, 25 Jun 2002
well done ainsley, when's the next one out! This is my fave cook book by far, I especially love the Chicken Chou Mein (which sent the plumbers tastebuds reeling) and Chicken Acupulco dishes, I even cooked liver for the first time with the help of a superb port and sour cream sauce! Many of these recipes have been added to my favourite list of dishes to impress and in half the time! On the bad side, I'm running out of new dishes to cook so hurry up and write a second one....!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly detailed book with great pictures to accompany it., 28 Dec 1999
By A Customer
The meals were explained simply and fully and they were well set out and easy to read. There was a wide variety of dishes, my personal favourite was the chicken korma. The pictures for me were the highlight with beautiful colour and crispness. The really added something to the book. For all busy people this book is a must-have. It shows what a masterpiece you can create in such a small length of time. Well done Ainsley!
