100 15-Minute Fuss-Free Recipes: Time-Saving Techniques And Shortcuts To Superb Meals In Minutes, Including Breakfasts, Snacks, Main Course Meat, Fish ... Dishes, Plus Dazzlingly Simple Desserts
By Jenni Fleetwood
Southwater - 2007
For a large part, this book is somewhat of a cheat - about half of it is filled by sections on basic equipment, a 'Breakfast and Brunch' section with recipes for fruit juices, fruit salads and french toast (come on!), an one on 'Light Bites and Appetizers' - it's no magic to prepare those in 15 minutes or less! That leaves me with a smallish section on main dishes (I never consult it for side dishes or desserts, see above), but I must admit that the main dishes do look interesting and that there are few of the usual suspects you would otherwise find in a comparable book.
