Notes about this book

    This book and "20 Minute Meals" were a revelation for me as a young man in my early twenties. I was learning to cook and struggling to get everything to come out at the same time. The Game Plans are brilliant and the recipes are quick, simple and healthy. I found used copies a few years ago and still use them regularly. These are wonderful cookbooks!

    Not sure why more people don't own this book. Marian was the one of the original quick-to-cook authors. Her recipes are simple and flavorful and as quick to fix as advertised. There are also many vegetarian meals included. She prepares main dish, side and salad all in 30 min. Some of our favorites are: Chicken Oreganato Deviled Chicken Thighs Cinnamon Chicken Chili Cheese Rice Orange Chicken Shrimp FooYong Deviled Pork Chops

Publishers Text

Fast food can be good food. The time you spend on the road to the hamburger stand can be put to better use in your own kitchen. Marian Burros, America's most outspoken and respected consumer reporter, offers what no cookbook author has done before; dozens of from scratch meals that take only 30 minutes to prepare. That's 30 minutes from the time the first ingredient is set out until the meal is on the table. And these straightforward meals taste wonderful because they only use fresh ingredients.
