Not as awful as the word 'lite' implies. 52 low fat recipes organised by season (so you can buy what is 'fresh' though now days everything is in season all year round). Recipes include servings, prep and cooking time, nutritional information and tips for making it all easier.

What you need - a recipe book ordered by the way you scavenge: Cans, packets, jars & bottles, Cartons & boxes. Easy but tasteful recipes, which include servings, prep and cooking time and tips. Great excuse to use those leftover boxes in the back of the pantry.

Just as the title says, these are quick meals that you can make after work, when you feel like putting in a bit more effort than a packet of pasta and a jar of sauce (not that there is anything wrong with that...at least i hope not). Organised by type of food: Soups, pasta and noodles, seafood etc. it contains servings, prep and cooking times, wine suggestions and advice on how to use your microwave to speed things along.
