Book excerpt: Once known as the Queen-of-Incapable Cooking, Brook has been spotted securing saran wrap with sailor knots, baking a cherry pie without pitting the cherries and coloring unboiled Easter eggs. Frustrated with the lack of a family dinner hour in her home (her husband had opted for large lunches at work), she set out to create a cooking system (much to her husband's dismay) that would allow her to put great meals on the table quickly. A CEO, mom, wife, daughter, volunteer, church-goer, author and speaker, Brook's time is at a premium. Brook created simply stellar meals and menus for everyday enjoyment. Now, for the first time, Brooks first four "Rush Hour Pocket Series" cookbooks are available all in one volume. Within these pages you'll find Presto Pasta, Effortless Entertaining, One-Pot Wonders, and Family Favorites. Enjoy over 200 simple, quick and easy dishes.
