COOKING TO BEAT THE CLOCK

Delicious, Inspired Meals in 15 Minutes
By Sam Gugino

NAMED ONE OF THE TOP 10 COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY AMAZON.COM

Pork Medallions with Port Sauce and Pecan Brussels Sprouts, Asian Steak Salad, Bouillabaisse (yes, Bouillabaisse!) in less time than it takes to get a pizza delivered—including the time it takes to chop vegetables, peel potatoes, and boil water!

In Parade Magazine’s “What America Eats” 2001 survey, respondents said they wanted to get dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes. Impossible? Not as far as I'm concerned. 

My Cooking to Beat the Clock philosophy grew out of a James Beard Award-nominated story that I wrote for  the New York Times in 1996.  Here’s how it works:

*It’s all based on four principles: flavor, organization, focus and creativity. Master these principles (it’s not hard) and you’ll be able to make great food, fast.

*Having a well-stocked pantry is important. So is the right equipment  and gadgets (though you don’t need anything fancy.)

* On this website and in my books and free newsletter, I'll give you plenty of helpful tips, not just for everyday cooking, but also for holidays and special occasions.

* Here are some great recipes to get you started.

*Got questions about quick cooking or any of my recipes? Ask  me.

*For additional information, subscribe to my FREE, monthly on-line newsletter.
