Everyone nowadays is busy it seems, and can benefit from a good cookbook with meals that take 30 minutes or less. Pamela Salzman is a holistic health counselor and cooking instructor; Pamela Salzman's Quicker Than Quick: 140 Crave-Worthy Recipes for Healthy Comfort Foods in 30 Minutes or Less was written in response to dozens of classes and feedback from students. The book includes recipes that are not only healthy, but also follow guidelines of the trendy special diets that are so popular.

One of the keys to being able to prepare quick meals anytime is to have a well-organized and well-stocked kitchen. This cookbook has a good list of equipment and gadgets that are needed, as well as ingredients that are often used and that cooks should keep on hand. The lists are excellent, and a great place to start when re-organizing your kitchen to make your cooking quicker and more efficient.

One of the best parts about this cookbook is that it has lots of beautiful photographs. This makes it possible for cooks to see what their finished product should look like. The instructions are succinct and easy to follow. Salzman knows her stuff and it shows in the recipes. There are explanations at the beginning of each recipe which give cooks insight into the recipes. She also lets cooks know which dishes her kids especially like, and that helps others to know just what to cook for their families. There are a lot of vegan and vegetarian dishes included, which for some may be overkill. Cooking with tofu and other tree-hugger ingredients defeats the purpose of eating. However, the other recipes make up for it. Many of the recipes are healthy, attractive, and mouthwatering.

Anyone who wants to start cooking tasty, nutritious meals that actually taste good will appreciate having this excellent cookbook on their shelf.
