Great Meals Fast

<p>Cookbook author and food writer extraordinaire Hilary Biller says, 'Over the years lifestyles have changed dramatically. We chase demanding careers and juggle busy family lives, and cooking and eating trends have evolved accordingly. Today, a greater emphasis is placed on food that is quick and easy to prepare … Cheating in the kitchen is a whole new style of cooking that requires little effort, clever planning and a well-stocked store cupboard. With good quality, readymade items and excellent fresh produce, I will show you how to prepare a meal from "scratch".' <br>As pressure on home budgets mounts, and awareness of health and the dangers of obesity grows, Hilary believes that home cooks will shy away from costly takeaways and look for easy-to-prepare, delicious and nutritious meals, using products that are readily available. There are 156 recipes in Great Meals Fast, covering breakfasts, salads, starters, chicken, fish, meat, vegetarian, desserts and beverages. And to ensure that the busy cook is never at a loss, Hilary has provided an invaluable list of products for the store cupboard and freezer, as well as essential equipment – all aimed at making life in the kitchen easier.</p>
