Book Reviews of The Best 30-Minute Recipe

Book Review: Good for a 30-minute beginner
Summary: 4 Stars

I am pleased with this cookbook. I am learning to speed up prep and cooking time, and the results are generally quite tasty.

After using the book for every meal for 2 weeks, I'm not only cooking most of the book's recipes in 30 minutes, I now know enough techniques that I am successfully speeding up my family's favorite recipes.

"The Best 30-Minute Recipe" book contains a few recipes that were new to me. And some good sauce recipes for zipping up standard fare. The real value in the book is the techniques for making "fast food" TASTE like "slow food."

If you are struggling to figure out how to make great tasting food quickly, give this book a try.

Summary of The Best 30-Minute Recipe

300 Fast and Flavorful Recipes from America's Most Trusted Test Kitchen

Tired of quick recipes that aren't really quick or don't taste very good? While some cookbooks promise 30-minute meals, America's Test Kitchen delivers. The Best 30-Minute Recipe is packed with more than 300 great-tasting recipes, along with time-saving techniques that will help you become more efficient in the kitchen. You'll also find honest evaluations of ingredients important to quick cooking, such as chicken broth, preshredded cheese, instant rice, and more. And because the type of equipment you use is important to the success of any recipe-made in 30 minutes or not-we tell you which brands are worth buying.

The Best 30-Minute Recipe features a surprisingly wide range of recipes. You get not only the very best versions of naturally quick dishes like salads and stir-fries, but also quick and easy recipes for typically long-cooking dishes that you'd never even think of making on a weeknight-including meatloaf, lasagna, beef pot pie, and a pad thai so easy that you may never call for takeout again. With efficiency and good taste, The Best 30-Minute Recipe is the time-pressed cook's guide to getting dinner on the table, night after night.
