by Hannah Kaminsky

Overview

The promise of a hot, satisfying meal in ten minutes or less is no longer the exclusive calling card of cheap pizza delivery. Everything from dinners on the run to crave-worthy snacks for a crowd can be yours in less time than it takes to hunt down those crusty take-out menus.

While most “quick-fix” recipes call for chemically enhanced mixes or unsavory prepared foods, Real Food, Really Fast cuts no corners when it comes to quality.

• Stovetop Granola
• Cauliflower Risotto alla Milanese

• Mango Crème Brûlée
• And much more!

Helpful tips for speeding through recipes even faster, plus additional suggestions for flavor variations make this book an indispensable guide for hungry cooks of all stripes. You’ll never need to compromise on flavor, nutrition, or expense, even with the most demanding deadline.
