Impatient Foodie: 100 Delicious Recipes for a Hectic, Time-Starved World

Popular blogger Wiedemann’s debut cookbook contains 100 recipes for tight schedules and lazy cooks. Geared toward the true novice, instructions are given on “how to read a recipe” and how to use the 21 tools the author recommends as favorites. Recipes for savory items are plentiful, and are often from scratch; however, desserts rely on boxed mixes and store-bought ingredients to eliminate measuring. Even for the most impatient baker, measuring dry ingredients shouldn’t be that difficult or time-consuming, especially in light of such impressive main dishes as miso-braised eggplant, Chou’s vinegar chicken, and harissa lamb chops with mashed cauliflower. Most of the included recipes are approachable and easy to pull together. Photos. Agent: David Kuhn and Nicole Tourtelot. [em](June) [/em]
