Snippets from Foreward Magazine (Book Review) -
Despite its title, Webb's newest cookbook is more than just a compilation of recipes: she delves into the whole process of organizing a kitchen, stocking a pantry, preparing weekly meal plans, and building shopping lists around those meal plans, including shopping monthly for staples.
Advance preparation is one of Webb's keys, and her tips for storing already-chopped onions and garlic in freezer bags, making double batches of marinades and salad dressings in advance, and freezing portions of fresh herbs and broth in ice cube trays, ready to pop into soups and stews, are great for cutting precious minutes off the nightly meal preparation.
Webb devotes one useful section of her book to what she calls "Quick Fixes." Here, she incorporates five staples -canned beans, canned broth, pasta, rice, and canned fish-into quick and easy ideas for those times when there seems to be "nothing to eat at home." She offers five recipes for each staple; tasty sounding examples are the Clear Asian Soup, Hungarian Noodles, and Salmon Niçoise.
In the last section, the author offers complete menus for myriad special occasions, including an Italian dinner featuring Chicken Rigatoni and Parmesan Zucchini, an Andalusian Supper with Shrimp Gazpacho and Roasted Vegetable Burritos, and a Dixieland dinner highlighted by Pork in Bourbon Maple Marinade. This engaging cookbook enables her to bring her techniques to an even wider audience. ~ Deborah Donovan

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy-to-make healthy dishes, June 9, 2005

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 200 Healthy Recipes in 30 Minutes-or Less! (Paperback)

Sometimes it seems healthy cooking just doesn't fit into the modern hectic schedule: it's far quicker to grab something high-carb and high-fat off the shelf when on the run. In reality, easy-to-make healthy dishes can be prepared almost as quickly, as Robyn Webb's 200 Healthy Recipes In 30 Minutes - Or Less demonstrates. From mustard-infused French Burgers to easy Chicken Nugget finger foods and salads, dietician Webb packs in dishes which lend to quick preparation while remaining healthy. The introduction on how to stock a kitchen for maximum 'fast food' cooking is particularly notable.

This review is from: 200 Healthy Recipes in 30 Minutes-or Less! (Paperback)

These are just OK recipes for adults but kids are never going to eat this stuff. Salmon in tomato sauce, shells agli olio, cod and shrimp soup. Yuck. The recipes are speedy but not very tasty.
