Deciding what to cook is often a real challenge for the inexperienced chef. Quick & Easy Cooking makes deciding easy by providing sample menus and shopping lists for five full weeks of cooking. The cook can easily mix and choose to suit her personal preferences.
The “Cooking Basics” chapter is filled with interesting hints that can help any novice become a better cook. Here are some general tips and guidelines for cooking eggs, potatoes, rice, pastas, meats, gravy, sauces and vegetables. More guidance is found in the “Old Fashioned Recipes and Time Saving Mixes” section, which gives basic recipes and tips for biscuits, cakes, dumplings, muffins, pizza, pancakes, waffles, French toast and syrup.
Then, in typical cookbook fashion, Quick & Easy Cooking provides dozens of recipes for main dishes, salads, desserts, snacks, breads and rolls. Speed in preparation and simplicity are the keys to every recipe listed, but good eating is the final result. These are yummy dishes and those who eat meals from this book eat well!
This is the ideal cookbook for newlyweds, for college students, for working singles, for anyone who must squeeze meal preparation into a busy schedule.
