Introduction
Good food doesnt have to take ages to prepare and cook. Sometimes the best dishes are the quickest and easiest to prepare. Revised and updated with fresh new recipes and a brand new look, this edition proves that quick and easy can also mean hearty and delicious.
Think you cant eat healthily and quickly? Youre wrong, and weve got lots of superhealthy ideas to prove it. Plus meat-free options to keep vegetarians happy, and plenty of curries, stir-frys and pizzas that take less time to knock up than it would take you to pick up a takeaway. Weve also added a few puddings, to satisfy a sweet tooth when time is tight, so whether youre a busy mum with hungry mouths to feed, want something on the table quick, or are looking to impress guests with little effort, youll find something to suit you in this collection of 101 recipes.
Even better, these are all favourites from the team at Good Food magazine, so you can rest assured theyll work first time and every time. And by including a few of our trademark tricks and some clever uses of ingredients, we make the most of the time youve got to spend in the kitchen, however short that is.
So put down that ready meal, drop the takeaway menu and set the clock because in 30 minutes or less youll have dinner on the table.

APPROXIMATE WEIGHT CONVERSIONS
All the recipes in this book list both imperial and metric measurements. Conversions are approximate and have been rounded up or down. Follow one set of measurements only; do not mix the two.
Cup measurements, which are used in Australia and America, have not been listed here as they vary from ingredient to ingredient. Kitchen scales should be used to measure dry/solid ingredients.
Good Food is concerned about sustainable sourcing and animal welfare. Where possible, humanely reared meats, sustainably caught fish (see fishonline.org for further information from the Marine Conservation Society) and free-range chickens and eggs are used when recipes are originally tested.
SPOON MEASURES
Spoon measurements are level unless otherwise specified.
1 teaspoon (tsp) = 5ml
1 tablespoon (tbsp) = 15ml
1 Australian tablespoon = 20ml (cooks in Australia should measure 3 teaspoons where 1 tablespoon is specified in a recipe)
