About this title

Synopsis

Guerrilla Cooking is for anyone who spends too much time in the kitchen.
Guerrilla Cooking is about fast-strike meals and smart shortcuts. But the recipes here are not only quick, easy, and delicious, they're reliable - tested by real people like you.
If there's a place in your busy life for comfort food such as Shortcut Shepherd's Pie or Crispy Critter Chicken, this is the book for you. But look for more than recipes. For instance, each chapter presents a strategy for winning the war against dinner.
You'll also get coaching on how to entertain, plus specific instructions on how to develop your own specialties. We'll try and make you famous - maybe for popovers, maybe for your guerrilla mashed potatoes or oven-baked French fries.

Martha Stewart, watch out! There's a new generation of food comics, who, following Peg Bracken of the I Hate to Cook books, are lambasting and decrying the underlying philosophy of super-homemaker. One of those roundly applauded for their efforts to overcome a culinary inferiority complex is syndicated newspaper columnist Walsh, who delights in using foodstuffs of packaged and frozen natures. Any of the more than 200 recipes are certainly easily initiated; consider, for instance, "vodka tomatoes" : dip cherry tomatoes into a dish of vodka, then sprinkle with seasoned salt. Throughout, she generously gives instructions for "fast-strike meals," from her directions to always try to cook two things in one pot of boiling water to her guerrilla strategy of refusing to cook. Decent dishes spiced with an even better sense of humor. Barbara Jacobs
