This book contains 250 recipes and hundreds of ideas for the best fast food from many cuisines, including Indian, Thai, Chinese, Middle Eastern and Mexican.… (more)

My copy has sticky pages and stains as this is one of the few I actually use. Who wants to cook for more than 30 mins really? A writer who gives a recipe for a chip butty gets my vote. (

This is a book that I actually use, as opposed to just thinking it could be interesting and then just trying one or two recipes. It is inspiring and gives new ideas that don't take ages to make. There are influences from lots of countries and no overemphasis on authenticity. But the main thing: the recipes that I've tried all taste good.
Not for real beginners, though. Get some idea of the basics first. (
