Featuring a compilation of recipes by Melanie Barnard and superbly illustrated with the color photography of Tucker & Hossler, "Food Made Fast: Weeknight" a combination of quick and easy, 20-minute preparation time meals for busy nights, and delicious 30-minute 'start-to-finish' recipes for anytime that time is of the essence. Also included are simple but elegant recipes for making large batches of those dishes that can not only provide an immediate dinner, but serve as the foundation for two or three future meals as well. From Tandoori-Style Halibut; Lemongrass Chicken and Asparagus; Chimichurri Steak; and Sausages with White Beans; to Cuban Beef Picadillo; Moroccan Lamb Burgers; Herbed Spinach Frittata with Feta; and Italian Seafood Stew, "Food Made Fast: Weeknight"truly lives up to its title and would make an welcome addition to any kitchen cookbook collection. Also very highly recommended for time-stressed kitchen cooks are the other outstanding titles in the Williams-Sonoma 'Food Made Fast' cookbook series from Oxmoor House: "Slow Cooker"; "Baking"; Pasta"; and "Soup".

great series, great book. it's now part of my weeknight rotation. everything i've tried has been wonderful. i especially like the chicken and peppers recipe. the book itself is great the way good williams-sonoma books are; beautiful pictures of everything and you know it will be fantastic, even if you haven't made it before. the recipes generally take me a bit longer than the stated prep time, but you still get great results, fast.

Format:Hardcover
I happen to love the beautiful presentation of WS cookbooks, and this book was no exception. In addition to the easy to make recipes (for the most part), there are suggested sides as well. Also, a handy cooking and shopping "how-to" is at the end of the book. Great for a beginner cook, or just someone who doesn't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen!
(minus one star because I would have like to see more recipes in the 20- and 30- minute section)
