One-Pot Wonders (The Rush Hour Cook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"I found that I could drastically reduce time spent in the kitchen by unearthing recipes that could be prepared in a single pot." ~Brook Noel
Most of the recipes in this book are quick to fix and cook themselves. Well, at least the recipes that use a crockpot basically cook themselves.
My favorite recipe in this tiny book is on pg. 26 and is called: "Brown Gravy Beef Roast with Vegetables." It is a spin on the pot roast and uses two packets of brown gravy mix. Once you assemble all the ingredients and close the lid, you cook it for 5 hours on high and you are done. The recipe says 7-9 hours, but magically this dish was done two hours early.
The beef, carrots and potatoes were all covered with a delicious gravy and the entire dish was ready to serve. It did take 20 minutes to assemble the dish, but think of all the time you have while you are not standing watching something cook. Once you discover crockpot cooking, there is no looking back. You will love it. Especially in the winter.
This book contains recipes for appetizers, main meals, delectable desserts and etcetera. All the recipes are sized for 6 servings unless otherwise noted. At the end of the book, you will find sections that include pre-planned menus and grocery lists.
Some of the recipes you might want to try include: Baked Mozzarella Sticks, Grecian Style Potatoes, Chicken Pot Pie, Taco Pizza, Cream Cheese Dream Bars and Fruit Pizza.
Brook Noel has a few rules for rush hour recipes.
1. All the ingredients must be pronounced through the phonetic use of the English Language
2. Each ingredient can be located in the market without engaging in a full scale scavenger hunt.
3. No list of ingredients shall be longer than the instructions.
4. Each recipe has to be durable enough to survive me, the Queen-of-Incapable-Cooking, and elicit a compliment.
5. The Rush Hour Cook's finicky child will eat it-or some portion of it.
Brook Noel's cookbooks are cute, fun and easy to read. Keep this one handy for
the Pot Roast recipe, it is a real winner.
