As much as I love puttering in the kitchen and making involved, multi-step recipes, most days I need quick recipes to get me through a busy day. I don't, however, like to compromise flavour and quality for a quick meal.

Radically Simple: Brilliant Flavors with Breathtaking Ease by award-winning New York chef Rozanne Gold is my cookbook hero. Rozanne creates bold, sophisticated flavours by combining a few essential ingredients with minimal effort. With over 300 recipes, there's a quick, easy solution for any time of the day from 15 minute brunch ideas to 10 minute fresh pasta dishes (a must try: Pasta with Pepper, Pecorino & Pork Rinds) to quick, company worthy fish, poultry and meat creations.
