Clever and always quick, Superfast Suppers will revolutionize your cooking with no loss of nutrition and no compromise in taste. Especially notable are the 20 recipes with less than 10 minutes of prep time, the 10 slow-cooker dinners and the 25 'Deadline Desserts' which require only 15 minutes from beginning to 'yum!' Finally, this book boasts the unique 'Have It Your Way' chapter that lets everyone create their own special meal from one basic item and a plethora of toppings. Any way you slice it, Superfast Suppers is a must-have for today's families on the go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elaine, November 22, 2004

By	Elaine Kneebone (Arkansas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I received this cookbook as a gift. This is the first cookbook that I've found in which the recipes are simple and quick enough to make after work without being a burden and the food is always delicious. I've probably made 30 of the dishes now and they have all been hits with my family. This is my favorite cookbook out of the 100 or so I have. I use it everyday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make dinner without thinking, February 6, 2005

By	Jordan Hay (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This cookbook tells you exactly what to make for dinner in 20 minutes. The menu includes an easy main dish and one or two exceptionally easy side dishes. It requires almost no thought.

I pick something to make over breakfast, make a small shopping list, then take 20 minutes to make dinner when I get home from work.

With twice the effort I could make slightly better food, but this book makes everything super-duper easy. It's healthier and easier than getting takeout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable!, September 19, 2005

By	Christine Tarbet (Studio City, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I LOVE this cookbook. The meals are tasty, yet simple and (of course) superfast! There's also plenty of opportunity to play around with the ingredients and make the dishes your own. Every recipe I've tried has been great so far. I HIGHLY recommend this one.
