You really have to hand it to Harriott: he's very good at what he does. "Ainsley Harriott's Low Fat Meals in Minutes" presents 80 fresh, interesting, tasty, low-fat recipes, none of which takes more than an hour to prepare and cook (and most a lot less), and each of which is accompanied by a clear colour photograph and nutrition notes. In the usual Harriott manner, inspiration ranges all over, with a preference for the flavours of Latin America, South-East Asia and the Mediterranean. So Prawn, Mushroom and Bean Sprout Noodles sits with Jalapeno Tiger-Prawn Ginger Skewers, while not far away is Roast Lemon Bay-Scented Cod. Puddings are strong on fruit: a particularly happy invention is the "Live and Kicking" Lemon and Chilli Sorbet. All in all, a very handy collection of speedy, tasty and waistline-friendly recipes. |

The energetic Ainsley Harriott rides back into our kitchens on board "Ainsley Harriott's Gourmet Express", fizzing with ideas and enthusiasm. His mission is to show us how to eat well and imaginatively, with a little more effort and considerably less expense, by cooking for ourselves instead of reaching for a ready-made meal or phoning for a take-away. With over 120 recipes the book concentrates on fast food such as Celtic Samosas, Paper Potato Pizza and Café Chilli Beef Tacos. There are a number that require a bit more time and attention (a cracking Shepherd's Pie, for instance), but most dishes come in at well under the hour for both preparation and cooking. As ever, the book is beautifully produced and clearly laid out, a pleasure to use. |

Then we're off with a collection of starters, main courses and desserts like "Silvana's Sizzling Snappy Mussels", "Chilli and Mustard Crusted Leg of Lamb", and the sumptuous "Oaxaca Chocolata Omeletta". Naturally, all this hot work deserves a few drinks and Ainsley obliges with, among others, the "What's New Pussycat Strawberry Daiquiri" and the "Mississippi Wiggle Swizzle Punch". |
