Faster! I'm Starving!

July 1, 2006
The Mills mother-and-son act is back. Having previously covered the basics of cooking ("Help! My Apartment Has a Kitchen Cookbook"), entertaining ("Help! My Apartment Has a Dining Room Cookbook"), and baking (with chocolate, anyway -"Chocolate on the Brain"), the Mills have a new challenge: preparing healthy, tasty meals for a two-career, three-child family. Full of useful tips for saving time and simplifying food preparation, this casual, chatty recipe collection includes a full range of options delivered with plenty of personality. -Mom Tips - are interspersed throughout, noting substitutions, workarounds, or extra information. There are probably no surprises here, but the title's personable approach, clear instructions, and mostly straightforward ingredients will appeal to many. Recommended for most public library collections." -Courtney Greene, DePaul Univ. Lib., Chicago"
