Introduction
It seems that no one has time to cook anymore. At the end of a busy workday, who wants search through recipe books trying to decide what to make for dinner, let alone prepare and cook it? It’s all too easy to grab some fast food or a frozen dinner.
Cooking and baking your own food means that you will spend less money, offer more nutritious meals to your family, and you’ll certainly spend less time in the kitchen than ever before. With the judicious use of convenience and value-added foods, making delicious recipes is easier than ever.
