For anyone who's ever said "I don't have time to cook," l O-Minute Cuisine says "Yes you do." Whether for a spur-of-the-moment dinner for friends, or a satisfying meal after a busy day, this book offers delicious and easy-to-make- food--fast.

Here you'll find over 140 recipes that can be prepared in 10 minutes, along with a special section on 10-minute menus--whole meals cooked in no time at all. Begin your dinner with Carrot and Orange Soup or Zucchini and Basil Salad, followed by Five-Spiced Seared Salmon, Duck with Cranberry Sauce, or Cornish Hens with Herbs and Olives. Delectable desserts such as Peaches with Amaretto or Baked Bananas provide the perfect finish to a meal. Pasta, rice, and eggs are presented in tempting new guises, and a selection of savory sauces--from spicy to sweet--make even the simplest fare a feast.

So forget take-out; forget the microwave, l O-Minute Cuisine makes eating in easy.
