Easy Gourmet Cooking For Busy People

By Michele Angello

How many times have you wrestled with the "What is for dinner?" problem? Probably more times than you even want to think about. Coming up with fast and easy dinner can be frustrating, time consuming and expensive if you give up and end up in restaurants and drive throughs often.
But what if you knew that no matter what ingredients you had at home, you could whip up an impressive delicious meal in about thirty minutes?
What if it was a meal that was sure to be one that you and your family would love?
And what if you only had to learn one easy technique in order to know how to cook a scrumptious main course every weeknight - or even every night for the rest of your life if you wanted to?

The solution is found in "Easy Gourmet Cooking for Busy People - One Easy Technique to Fast Healthy, Delicious Meals."

The way to get in and out of the kitchen fast is to concentrate on the flavors of the food, not the technique. In most cookbooks every single recipe is a different process, forcing you to continuously check back in the recipe so that you don't miss a step and mess the whole thing up. In this cookbook, you'll learn one single technique that to use with chicken, pork, beef or seafood. Once you master that one technique, which will probably take a dinner or two, you'll have the skills to produce hundreds of different dinners based on what you've learned!

The flavors that will come out of your kitchen will be a lot like what you get in a high-priced restaurant. Knock 'em dead, savory flavors that will make you wish that dinner would never end.

You'll eat delicious food at home so often, you'll be less tempted by the restaurant menus and drive throughs. Your guests will rave about your food. You could actually have fun making dinner instead of it being a dreaded chore!

Here's what else you can expect to find in this cookbook:
* Learn to cook without a recipe
* The best cookware to buy (which is also one of the least expensive)
* 3 essential kitchen tools
* How to handle a chef's knife and save prep time
* How to stop the boring and uninspired dinners and have different flavors all the time
* How to bring your favorite restaurant flavor combinations home
* What to buy at the grocery store that will save you time in the kitchen
* The Ultimate Cooking Technique illustrated step by step with photos
* The secret to good flavor combinations
* Quick cooking sides and vegetables
* 25 delicious beef, pork, seafood, and chicken recipes and meal starters with plenty of ethnic and American flair

This may be the last time you scrounge through your kitchen in search of what to cook for dinner. "Easy Gourmet Cooking for Busy People" is the key to learning to cook delicious meals simply and quickly, just as intuitively as a chef.

You haven’t been to the grocery store in over a week and have no idea what to make for dinner. The bright lights of a fast food place tempt you, so you swing through the drive through and grab something for the whole family. Fried chicken, burgers, pizza or tacos.
