New Food Fast

I sent this to my friend who is a fine cook and she loves it. I have enjoyed everything from Donna Hay and will probably get this book for my collection. The photography is wonderful and so are the recipes.

This book has simple but beautiful recepies. I found most of the ingridents should be easy to find in your pantry. In terms of delivery and the quality of product, I bought a used book and it was in a superb condition and delivered fast. Thank you!

Here is a cookbook for people that like to eat well but do not have the time for long lengthy recipes. I have made several dishes in this book , they are delicious and simple. It is refreshing to use a cookbook that produces such flavorful meals without hours of labor and just a few ingredients.

Fantastic Donna Hay!I haven't put it down since it arrived!

I really like her books, they are easy to follow, great pictures, and the recipes are delicious. Try one of her books and you'll see for yourself.

Beautiful pics.

she is the best!

I have been cooking through this book in order, skipping only meat-based recipes (but cooking the fish recipes). The photos are gorgeous. And there are some good ideas in this book -- I somehow had never come across bircher, and ways to dress up otherwise boring food. But I find this cookbook skimps on details. Lots of important details. For example, the sticky rice for picnics is a really wonderful idea, and while it does tell you how much coconut milk to use, it doesn't tell you how much rice to use! I'd expect either both or neither to be general. It's almost as if she believes that if the recipe is short to read, it can be cooked faster. Also the book seems to skip ingredients. I have yet to come across a recipe that calls for salt, for example, although brownies, sticky rice, salad dressing, and several other recipes simply cry out for it. Of course I can throw in my own dash of salt, but I wonder what other small things were skipped for the sake of a brief recipe (after all, how long does it take to add a dash of salt?). Not sure I'll buy another Donna Hay cookbook...P.S. Just tried to fry something with no info in the recipe on oil temperature or timing. It was a disaster.P.P.S. Upon more experimentation, this book is shelved permanently. No more wasted time or effort for me with recipes that are barely more than preparation notes!
