This book shows you exactly how to achieve that. Express Dinners includes more than 175 recipes and is divided into 6 easy chapters - for meals that can be made in just 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes each, from the moment you start to the finished meal on the plate. In just 5 minutes, for example, you can you can whip up Garlic Prawns with Sesame Noodles or Crab with Angel Hair Pasta for a healthy dinner-on-the-run, or Chicken & Avocado Tortillas in time for your kids' supper.

Or cook up a weekend feast your family will love with 30-minute recipes such as Pesto-Crusted Lamb Fillets or Chicken with Rosemary & Roasted Tomatoes. Forget pre-prepared supermarket convenience meals or take-aways. Instead, discover how to create mouth-watering food from scratch - all in the flash of a pan.
