You know the scenario well...it's been a long day, you get home from work late, you are tired and irritable, and its only Monday night! The temptation to pull a frozen ready-meal out of the freezer and put it in the microwave is almost overwhelming, even though you know it's not a healthy option, or even a satisfyingly tasty one, despite what the advertising tells you.If, like me, you often find yourself in this position, this book is for you. Helpfully laid out in four easy to read sections, the author takes you through everything you need to know to be able to create healthy and tasty meals in thirty minutes.  Kitchen preparation and layout is almost as important as the food you prepare, and so she explains to what is essential in a good kitchen, and also why this is so. Once you have practised a little some of the techniques covered and made sure you've all the right kit, you are ready to try some of the recipes listed in the third section. I found the first section on healthy eating contained little I didn't already know, but I appreciate that it will be very helpful for other readers.  Otherwise, this is a very useful book to have at hand for when those busy days happen, and the microwave is the attractive option. Keep this book out visible on your workspace - and banish those ready-meal moments forever!
