This is a book which is really limited in its remit. After all there is a limit to what you can accomplish in twenty minutes. However, given that restriction this is not a bad effort. It is nicely presented and adopts the format of the recipe on one page and a picture of the final dish on the facing page. This is a good quality print job and it feels like a quality book.
As to the recipes themselves there is quite a reasonable selection. There are a lot of fish recipes which pleased me although there are is a selection of courses and the book is divided into Fast Starters, Fast Mains and Fast Puddings. The list of ingredients for each recipe is clearly stated and generally is quite easily sourced – there would be nothing more frustrating than quick recipes that took hours to source the ingredients. The methodology is clearly stated and not too difficult for most dishes as one might expect for fast recipes.
There was certainly enough here that I would feel inclined to confidently have a go at and some of the recipes were quite appealing such as the Chicken and Prawn Pad Thai and the Sesame Roasted Duck, but generally the emphasis here is on practical rather than inspirational cookery. Not a bad book to have in your collection, but probably not one where you are going to source that special meal when you need it.
