Cook Fast, Eat Well
by Sue Quinn
While many cookbooks and cooking shows would have us think that cooking dinner involves long lists of ingredients and several hours of commitment in the kitchen, Sue Quinn proves that it really doesn’t have to be that way.
There are 160 recipes all up in Cook Fast, Eat Well, from plates to share and light bites, salads and soups, to pasta dishes, meat, poultry and seafood dishes and desserts. If there’s one book dads should start with, it’s this one, for ever ingredient and dish is labelled clearly. Here’s a sneak peek inside the book, as seen in BOOKED with Anastasia, Episode 22.
