Quick Cooking Beats Fast Food

Know someone who wishes they could cook more, but who simply can’t find the time? Pressed for Time is made for them—your harried sister and brother-in-law, the new parents next door, and the over-committed friends who have more take-out menus than pots and pans. In the time it takes to order and wait for a pizza, they can cook a full meal, get it to the table, and not be left with a sink full of dirty cookware at the end of the night.

The Best One-Dish Suppers

Minimal work, minimal cleanup, plenty of flavor and variety: that was our goal as we set out to prove that getting a complete meal on the table doesn’t have to be complicated and require sacrifices. The recipes in The Best One-Dish Suppers dramatically reduce prep time, cookware, and cleanup and yet produce meals home cooks will want to make again and again because they taste as good as meals that take hours—and a multitude of pots and pans—to cook. Developing these recipes often meant using creativity—and a lot of trial and error—to get the perfect entrée and side dish at once. Whatever their pan of choice (casserole dish, baking sheet, Dutch oven, or slow cooker), home cooks will find 175 one-pan dishes to please any palate.
