please recommend a good after work cookbook?

[vannah]

Ive already got one or two of nigel slaters, but although I love his food, so many of the recipes involve tons of butter or cream.

Need some other good recommendations please!
Ive seen a few in the library but they look a bit dull.

Want good, easy to cook recipes.

By the way loved the school dinner lady but recipes took me forever and the washing up so long!

thankyou

I had a look through the new Nigella Lawson one at my in-laws. I haven't watched the series but I'm going to buy the book. Loads of very tasty and quick recipes.

I was given 'Cook yourself thin' for my birthday recently and its great - low fat recipes that are easy to get together in about 20 mins-30mins ish, Once you make the recipe once you can do it even more quickly the next time as well. HTH

Have you tried Delia?

Mind you, she is another saturated fat criminal. I know what you mean about Nigel. 'Add a good slug of double cream... dot the top with chunks of butter... stir in a few glugs of oil...' good god man, are you trying to kill us?

River Café Easy and Two Easy. Both excellent.

great thanks for these - Im making a list to take to my library
any more anyone?

it is difficult to be low calorie and quick and nice because a lump of butter or cream does replace the flavour you get long cooking or mucho fiddling around.

i find it better to just cook whatever i want to but substitute, so 0% fat greek yog, fresh herbs, sweet potato, wholemeal pasta etc.
