Ainsley
Harriott's Meals in Minutes
by
Ainsley Harriott
(Dorling Kindersley Books, April 2000)
The
charming and irreverent host of "The Ainsley Harriott
Show" presents his recipes for "good, simple nosh"
in his new book. Time-starved workaholics will discover
how to cook a Peking duck in twenty minutes—the
same is true with classics like coq au vin and cassoulet.
His spunky, succulent recipes, from "doodle spinach
'n' chicken noodle" to "wicked fish gumbo," cover
the needs of families with children as well as those
in despair over snobby dinner guests—or you
might just want to treat yourself to home cooking
after weeks of mindless take-out. Harriott offers
valuable tips on food stocking, kitchen tools and
pre-preparation. The recipes are easy to follow and
offer nutrition notes on each serving.
