Quick Meals for the Whole Family
An excellent cookbook with very easy meals to make. If my six year old daughter can make Ainsley's Thai Mussels than anyone can use it. The book is full of colourful photograph to compliment Ainsley's style of cooking. This book is a must for every home, especially those who need to have great tasting dinners on the table within an hour.

outstanding
