Book Reviews of Desperation Dinners
Book Review: 20 minutes... for real
Summary: 4 Stars
I've tried many cookbooks that promise meals in 20 or 30 minutes. Most of them don't include the time it takes to chop ingredients, so it ends up taking 40 minutes when you include the prep time. This book delivers on its promise. Symbols alert the cook to start boiling water, defrosting meat, or preheating the oven as soon as he walks in the door. From there, instructions are complete and simple. They make an effort to reduce the number of pans needed, and many efficiency tips are built right into the instructions.As with anything "fast," there are drawbacks. Some recipes lack a homemade flavor since they rely on many convenience items, like instant rice, bottled chopped garlic, and canned sauces. And some are a little bland, but I've remedied that by adding my own herbs and spices. I have made a few recipes that were remarkably flavorful and have become some of my "old standbys."
This is a lifestyle-changing book for people who work hard, care about their health, and think there's more to life than cooking.
