There are recipes for all occasions, from speedy mid-week suppers to feasts for friends - all focused on vegetables and all achievable in around 15-20 minutes. Cranks Fast Food is full of surprises, with recipes for tarts and pies, fritters and salsas, roasts and casseroles alongside more obvious fast fare such as soups, stir-fries and snack meals. All the recipes are absolutely in tune with today's lighter, healthier style of eating - simply delicious food for vitality and health.
