When I read this book, back in 1995, I thought that I would spend the next ten years much as I had the previous quarter of a century - dashing home each evening after a long day at work to make a meal as quickly as possible. "The 30-Minute Cook" sounded like a wonderful idea. Fate had other ideas in mind though, and within a matter of weeks of buying the book I became a lady of enforced leisure with all day to prepare the evening meal, if that was what I wanted.

Strangely, now that I've been a lady of leisure for some years, I need this book more than ever. I really wouldn't have the time to do a full-time job!
