Now that's a steal! I have been coveting her dessert cookbook but keep getting outbid on Ebay. It is available at my local bookstore but it is not in the budget at that price.

Pardon my ignorance, but I am not familiar with Donna Hay. Do I need to be? Is she worth getting involved with ;)

"The Instant Cook - Donna Hay

The market leader in cookbooks, Donna Hay leaps ahead of the pack again with the launch of a groundbreaking new cookbook format - and a catchy theme: fast, fuss-free, stylised dinners. Simple, stylish and modern recipes together with Donna's trademark inspiring photography and styling -- The Instant Cook also marks Donna's move to a quality, innovative hardback with a must-have kitchen-friendly plastic dust-jacket - still all for an affordable price. Whether you need to whip up busy midweek fare for a famished family or present something chic and easy for a casual weekend dinner with friends - time is on your side with Donna Hay's latest morish collection of over 190 fast, new and inspiring recipes, tips and tricks. Enjoy the fastest pasta around and make scrumptious dishes and sauces in minutes. Donna Hay again gives her readers the know-how and confidence to create great meals that are filling and substantial at short notice. Each chapter begins with a personal note from Donna on the recipes ahead in a classic collection of chapters - soup; salads; pasta, rice & noodles; chicken; meat; fish + seafood; vegetables; sweets. Each chapter also includes a new feature, with Donna showing you one essential sauce or dish with three very clever twists for you to then create three very fresh and original meals. Each chapter then concludes with her ever-popular 'short order' ideas: quick dishes to serve on the side or as meals on their own, using simple methods and flavour combinations."
