The Illustrated Quick Cook

The Illustrated Quick Cook
DK. 2009. 544 pgs. Nonfiction

A resource packed with over 650 recipes for every occasion and offers menu planners, recipes-chooser galleries, cook's notes, recipe variations, and full-color photos of all the completed dishes.

This cookbook is full of great photographs, time-saving tips, after-work recipes, and food for those on a budget. I like that each recipe indicates how much prep time needs to be done, how long it cooks, if the meal can be frozen, and if the meal is “healthy” (meaning low in fat, salt, and/or sugar). In addition many of the recipes list variations and cook’s notes. I would recommend this cookbook to anyone looking for some new meal ideas, or those that simply love to look at beautiful food!
