The book begins by guiding you through the basics of quick-and-easy cooking. Then ten chapters offer imaginative dishes, including sensational soups, sandwiches, salads, and pasta dishes; savory seafood, poultry, beef, and pork fare; meatless entr es; vegetable and grain side dishes; and luscious desserts. Next time you think there's no time to cook a great meal, let Kitchen Quickies prove you wrong. You may even have time for some "quickies" of your own.
