For me to write a book in which a jar of mayonnaise is even mentioned is revolutionary. But it's a revolution that I felt had to happen.

A Twist of the Wrist offers some of her favorite flavorful dinners to prepare at home in a snap, without sacrificing epicurean style and good taste. Her trick—mixing packaged food in with fresh items—may be old hat to many speed-driven cooks, but the 137 inspired recipes she presents in this beautiful cookbook are fresh and exciting. And she gives great technical advice about which packaged foods to use, and exactly how to prepare each dish. The sophisticated meals will delight all who gather at your dinner table— and the ease of preparation will make you a relaxed and happy host or hostess!
