The 200 recipes in The Kitchen Shortcut Bible will help you "make real food real fast," thanks to a slew of tips and tricks designed to save time without sacrificing flavor. This cookbook is filled with recipes for no-cook and microwaveable desserts, overnight hot cereals, superfast risottos…not to mention an entire chapter of make-ahead freezer-to-oven meals! And you'll be amazed by the strategic uses for convenience foods (store-bought pizza dough makes quick dumplings, instant potatoes make light and fluffy gnocchi). Scattered throughout are handy Test Kitchen Notes: walnut oil adds decadent flavor to No-Bean Chili with No-Work Cheesy Dumplings, dried herbs hold up better than fresh when making Nutty-Crunchy OvenFried Cutlets, a chilled bowl makes faster work of whipping the cream for Superfast Lemony Semifreddo. Delicious and quick? That's the perfect meal!
