Desperation Dinners by Alicia Ross - One of my favorite cookbooks

Written by two working moms with four kids between them, Desperation Dinners! fulfills its promise to supply you with more than 250 recipes that can be made from start to finish in 20 minutes. With the help of Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross, you can serve up appealing and nutritious home-cooked meals on nights when that might seem impossible. There are meaty dishes (Fiery Chinese Beef) and meatless ones (Very Vegetarian Chili), as well as Ravioli with Roasted Red Pepper Cream for pasta-lovers, and even Magic Brownies for those with a sweet tooth.

The authors technique, which calls for using convenience foods (canned, frozen, boxed, bagged, or jarred), is based on the idea that the time saved justifies extra cost and sacrificed quality. Their Desperation Pantry includes staples such as canned beans and broth, along with onion powder, frozen lemon juice, pre-shredded cheeses, and produce that is ready to use, such as chopped garlic and sections of citrus fruit. This is not great cooking, but the meals will rescue families from a surfeit of fast food and boxed-pasta dinners.

One of my favorite cookbooks
I have owned this since it first came out and it is my "go to" gift for bridal showers. The recipes are delicious and truly simple to prepare. The writing style of the authors is entertaining and holds my interest.

The book is organized into catagories making it easy to find recipes for ingredients you may have on hand. In addition a basic "stock your pantry" list at the front of the book keeps shopping quick.

I just gave this book (again) as a gift to my future daughter in law at her shower last month.
