Where's My Dinner?: Real Recipes for Busy People

Author: Moyra Fraser

Wholesome and delicious food that is simple enough for a weekday supper and exciting enough for a dinner party - the perfect answer for hard-pressed cooks.
For those of us who are short of time and inspiration but keen to produce attractive and nourishing meals on a daily basis, Moyra Fraser (whose food column "Where's My Dinner" appears in the Saturday "Telegraph" newspaper), is the ideal companion - imaginative but practical and comfortingly down to earth. Her cheering recipes ar proof that good, fresh, sustaining food can be produced with a minimum of time and labour - the perfect antidote to celebrity cooks, with all their mincing and marinating.
Within half an hour you could be sitting down to a delicious, nutty-flavoured stew of aubergine and sweet potatoes, or enjoying a steak with a leek and mustard sauce. Pork chops with plums and ginger, mussels with cider and saffron broth - this is English cooking at its best, simple enough for a weekday supper and exciting enough for a dinner party.
Those who get into "Moyra-Mode" might wonder how they ever managed before.
