Kitchen Quickies: Great, Satisfying Meals in Minutes

The authors of Kitchen Quickies know that in this busy world, you just don't have time for hours of grocery shopping followed by hours of food preparation. Their solution? To begin with, virtually all of their over 170 kitchen-tested recipes--yes, really kitchen tested--call for a maximum of only five main ingredients other than kitchen staples. This makes supermarket shopping easier. Then the dish itself takes at most forty-five minutes to prepare from start to finish. As an added bonus, these delicious dishes are actually good for you--low in fat and high in nutrients! Kitchen Quickies begins by guiding you through the basics of quick-and-easy cooking. You'll learn about the ingredients and the equipment that can make meal preparation both fast and fun. Following this are ten spectacular chapters filled with exciting and imaginative dishes, including sensational soups, sandwiches, salads, pastas, tempting chicken and turkey dishes, seafood, hearty beef and pork fare, meatless delights, vegetable and grain side dishes, and luscious desserts. In Kitchen Quickies, you'll learn how to make tangy Margarita Chicken, Savory Crab Cakes, saucy Penne from Heaven, and more--all in no time flat!
