Summary: Interesting Facts/Cute Ideas
Review: "My life is a zoo of insanity that allows very little time for cooking let alone making frequent trips to the grocery store." ~Brook Noel

Brook Noel has a busy lifestyle, and like most moms, she tries to find ways to nurture her family, while getting out of the kitchen fast. She enjoys jogging, writing, running her publishing house and coordinating a 24-7 support web site. She needs recipes that work.

In this cookbook, you will find:

Sides, Soups and Starters - Some of the recipes include chicken dumpling soup, quickslaw, potato and broccoli bake and sugar carrots.

Main Meals in Minutes - Tantalizing Taco Salad, Must-Have Meatloaf, Mexi-Casserole and many more.

A Sweet & Happy Ending - Banana Cream Pie, Baked Cinnamon Apples, Fanciful Fruit Dream.

Etcetera - Making edible finger paints, timesavers, click to save, etc.

This cookbook might help you save money after you look for coupons online, make your own finger paints and teach you how to throw ingredients together and make casseroles like a pro.

Most of the recipes in this book have a short list of ingredients and the instructions are easy to follow. I liked reading the fun facts. Who knew Americans eat an average of 51 pounds of chocolate a year.

Summary: Convenient format for the hurried
Review: The Rush Hour Cook series is a collection of small books that are designed to easily fit into a purse or briefcase without taking up much room. In the "Family Favorite" book you can expect the usual categories of soups, sides and starters, main meals, and desserts. One of the requirements for a recipe to make it into the Rush Hour Cook series is that the ingredients must be easy to find in just about any grocery store. So if you plan on preparing something from the book you can drop it into your purse or carry it along and pick up the ingredients on the spot.

Various tips are also scattered throughout the book. At the end there are five days of suggested meals as an example of meal planning and the shopping list that would be needed to prepare all of these meals. These are practical, easy to prepare, and quick recipes that include several I remember as a child. Some of the favorite recipes include popovers, chili, Dijon chicken, chicken and rice, chicken cordon bleu, pizza pockets, stuffed shells, apple crisp, and cinnamon streusel coffee cake. This is a great gift for the novice cook or the person who just wants to make a quick meal and get on to other things.

Summary: A NIFTY COOKBOOK THAT REALLY COOKS!
Review: There's a child in all of us ... that certain someone who yearns for things that taste good and are quick to bring smiles to our faces and bellies. And that child ain't Julia. We have finally discovered a woman who understands the way most Americans eat: fast and faster. Brook Noel has penned a series of ultra-slim cookbook (think of them as gastronomic guides) that offer recipes, and serve up tasty tricks and tips. There's even a sprinkling of savory trivia --- who knew the pretzel was invented in 600 AD by a monk who crossed the dough to form hands in prayer? The meals in minutes (Noel insists "no list of ingredients shall be longer than the instructions") are easy to make. She proves that anyone can conquer kitchen chaos, win the battle of rush hour without rushing, and still come out smelling like a cinnamon bun.
