Author: Kevin Mills
Who says there's no time to cook? In the time it takes to find the phone book and call the local pizza shop, busy parents across the country could be serving up a hot, home-cooked meal for their families. Now, the secrets to being able to cook quick and nutritious meals in the time it takes for a sitcom plot to be revealed are collected here by mother and son team Nancy Mills and Kevin Mills.
Cook a healthy, interesting dinner in twenty-five minutes or less on any night of the week. These meals taste good enough to keep you from surrendering to the temptations of fast food or take out, and easy enough to make with a baby in one arm and a kid hanging onto each leg! Now, anyone can cook a complete meal in less time than it would take to order out and wait for delivery-and it's not just the same old fare. Try Pasta and Bean Soup, Chinese-Style Pork Medallions, and Roasted Portobello Mushroom Burgers!

The Mills mother-and-son act is back. Having previously covered the basics of cooking (Help! My Apartment Has a Kitchen Cookbook), entertaining (Help! My Apartment Has a Dining Room Cookbook), and baking (with chocolate, anyway-Chocolate on the Brain), the Mills have a new challenge: preparing healthy, tasty meals for a two-career, three-child family. Full of useful tips for saving time and simplifying food preparation, this casual, chatty recipe collection includes a full range of options delivered with plenty of personality. "Mom Tips" are interspersed throughout, noting substitutions, workarounds, or extra information. There are probably no surprises here, but the title's personable approach, clear instructions, and mostly straightforward ingredients will appeal to many. Recommended for most public library collections.-Courtney Greene, DePaul Univ. Lib., Chicago Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
