Enjoy delicious meals every day of the week using Lorna's short-cut techniques - strategies that result in a pantry filled with intense flavor by the spoonful: aromatic herb blends, spicy salsas, and quick zesty sauces based on mustards, infused oils, and nut butters. In dozens of distinctive recipes, Lorna shows you how to toss them with pasta, greens, grains, and beans to create innovative dishes in a flash. You'll also learn how to develop a repertoire using fast-cooking whole grains like quinoa to create main-dish pilafs and salads.

Many of the recipes can easily be converted to utilize the pressure cooker. You will find that Lorna is a master at building flavor fast. A drizzle of orange juice and a touch of cinnamon catapult organic canned lentils and frozen spinach to a gourmet stew. By combining a pre-mixed blend of Italian herbs and frozen artichoke hearts with instant polenta, Lorna turns simple ingredients into a memorable meal in under fifteen minutes, including prep!
