Lots of cookbooks promise meals in 30 minutes, but have you looked at the number of steps in their recipes? If you're like us, after a long day of work or school, we're probably not going to prepare a recipe that requires more than ten steps. Over the years, we've collected more than 300 fast, easy and delicious recipes that can be prepared in ten steps or less.

These are dishes you loved as a child - from meatloaf and lasagna, to seven layer salad and sweet potato casserole, to peanut butter brownies and peach cobbler. Included are sections on appetizers, breakfasts, crockpot dishes, desserts, entres, salads, side-dishes and soups, and an ingredient index that directs you to hundreds of recipes that can be prepared with whatever you've got in your cabinets or refrigerator.

Also included in "Recipes: Ten Steps or Less" are: a list of the kitchen equipment you'll need, what staples to have on hand, a party planning section and a handy calculator to help you convert units of measure. This is the only recipe guide you'll ever need, designed by real cooks for how people cook in the real world.
