(Clarkson Potter) ISBN 978-1400082568 1400082560
2,4,6,8 Great Meals for Couples or Crowds is a 30-minute meal cookbook that features menus and recipes for every occasion. All meals, no matter how big or small, have a 30-minute preparation time.
Brief but well-thought out and organized. Descriptions include cute quips.
There are no illustrations.
Dinner menus, complete with brief descriptions, are organized by theme, with suggested recipes. A game plan helps you meet the 30-minute timeline.
The Eat Greek menu under Meals for 4 consists of simple recipes for Lemon and Egg soup, Greek-style Shrimp Scampi and Linguine, inspired by the cuisine of Greek tavernas.
