Dinner Against the Clock

Accenting the techniques that have brought fame to her and to her books, this is Madeleine Kamman's guide to the preparation of delicious quick dinners. Even if you are fully employed and your every day is spent away from your hearth, you can still cook an excellent dinner every night, and enjoy it. Living proof of this happy assertion, Mrs. Kamman, who operates a restaurant and cooking school in Glen, New Hampshire, shows you how your dinner hour can be changed from a letdown to an uplift, how you can be a gracious host or hostess- even on Tuesdays.

By following the order of preparation that accompanies each meal plan, you can prepare in the allotted minutes an honest, fresh-tasting meal of several courses. Time will be saved, and so will your temper. Mrs. Kamman has proved once and for all that wise food-buying, clever organization of time and energy, and the knowledge of the proper cooking techniques (not frozen TV dinners or slipshod cooking) are the answer to speedy but tasty meals. The working man or woman can enjoy cooking, not only on Sundays, and still look forward to an evening of relaxation.
