Here is a cookbook that is not quite a cookbook, but a compendium of sage and practical advice for busy women who want to spend less time in the kitchen. It is a treasury of commonsense.
With her usual irreverent humour, Maggie Groff answers the anguished cry of "what will I cook for dinner?" from working mothers and busy women across the country. She shows how easy it is to create fantastic feasts and gorgeous gourmet delights for family and friends in lightning quick time. This is the overworked woman's guide to catering deceit and the world's first cookery book dedicated to "hoax cuisine".
Each section is broken up along the lines of a conventional cookbook - seafood, pizza, pasta, just desserts, picnics, school fetes and cake stalls - and comes with its own delicious story of a hoaxer behaving badly (like the very well-known woman who accidentally sent a $20 note along with her ASIO application).
