At last, wholly revised and updated version of one of our truly beloved backlist titles (some 75,000 copies in print, and still going strong). This is the book cooks reach for in a crisis -- when the souffle falls, the soup`s too salty, you`ve run out of avocados, and the guests are clue in 10 minutes. This new revised edition addresses new foods and appliances and presents heart-healthy options in the many meal-saving recipes. You need never be embarrassed by bland, burned, or otherwise substandard food -- and the book`s a hoot to read, even if you haven`t been the victim of a kitchen disaster...yet.
