Publisher's Synopsis
You may have been seduced by promises of a three-course meal prepared in 30 minutes, but found yourself with a kitchen full of dirty pans, an expensive bill for ingredients and a hungry family wondering why you've been in the kitchen for an hour and dinner still isn't ready. "The Reader's Digest Quick Cooking Bible" doesn't make any extravagant claims, but it does deliver the goods: over 365 recipes which can be prepared from scratch in 30 minutes or less. A few recipes require some slow cooking after preparation, giving you a chance to do something else or just relax with a glass of wine, but on the whole you can get from fridge to plate in under half-an-hour. And you won't have to hunt down unusual ingredients in specialist shops, or spend a fortune either: most of what you will need can be found in a supermarket or local food shop, and some of it will probably be in your larder already.
