Jamie Oliver's Meals In Minutes

I respect chef's who use everyday items without the need of specialty items or special trips to the grocery store.  Teach me how to make good, simple meals, that can be served on a Thursday to friends or for special events. Throw in global inspirations like green curry, crispy chicken, kimchee slaw, rice noodles, or steak-indian style, spinach and paneer salad, naan bread, mango dessert.  I'm hooked. Thank you Jamie

 From the back cover: I’m going to show you how to put a whole meal on the table in a matter of minutes! Not just one dish, a whole spread of beautiful things.
If, like me, you love food and have hungry mouths to feed when you get home after a long day, then allow me to let you in on a totally revolutionary new way of cooking. In this book I’m going to show you how to make a complete meal in the time you’d normally spend on one dish. What you’ll be able to achieve in 30 minutes or less will absolutely blow your mind. It’s certainly blown mine!
This is not about compromising on quality. It’s about being organized, working fast, and using shortcuts and clever tricks to put insanely delicious plates of food on the table in no time. Each of the 50 meals inside has been carefully written so there’s no messing about—just good, fast cooking. I’ve created complete menus of foods that go beautifully together and planned recipes in a really unique, easy-to-follow way. This kind of cooking is all about using every minute wisely, having fun, and reclaiming your kitchen for the job it was meant for.
You might think it can’t be done, but I promise you it can. Have a look inside to see the sort of meals you’re going to get. Once you start cooking this way, not only will you absolutely love it; you’ll never look back.  Meals in Minutes, Jamie Oliver
