Gourmet Cookbooks for Lazy CooksBy Madelyn MillerI used to think I loved to cook. Then I became a restaurant reviewer and I realized I could eat wonderful food every night without cooking. Cooking wasn’t the part I really enjoyed—it was eating. Sometimes I still cook. But I always look for the easy way out Here are a few of my favorite cookbooks. Weight Watchers 5 Ingredient 15 Minute Cookbook The 250 Best 4-Ingredient Recipes The honey-glazed chicken and Thai burgers from this cookbook that saves time without sacrificing great taste have become a staple in my diet DESSERTSI believe that last is the best. And recipes that start with a box of cake-mix are really halfway done.
Try these favorites—Cranberry Apple Crumb , Pecan Pie Bars, Chocolate Dipped Malted Milk Cookies Chocolate from the Cake Doctor If there is anything better than easy, it is something that is easy AND Chocolate. I can start drooling by just reading this book. Imagine Pumpkin Spice German Chocolate Cheesecake. All it takes is a few cans of stuff, butter and eggs and the cake mix—so you can always have the ingredients on hand. Faster than going to a bakery or waiting in line in a supermarket. There is even a Good-For-You Chocolate Pound Cake (I like the way this author thinks) This unbelievably moist pound cake is perfect for the cholesterol-conscious who can’t eat eggs. It calls for egg substitute and for unsweetened applesauce, which keeps it so moist that you don’t need to add oil. |
