In the not too distant past there may have been only a single wage-earner and a corresponding homemaker. As a result, a wide variety of home-cooked dishes at the dinner table became common. With the advent of two income families meal preparation has turned out to be less convenient, and many have taken to eating more meals in restaurants or relying on the grocery store for freshly prepared or frozen dinners. The luxury of cooking at home has three main foes... • first, of course, is a lack of time • second is the normal multi-dish cooking with its need to have all dishes ready at the same time • third is the annoying chore of cleaning several pots, pans or bowls One helpful solution to this dilemma might be the minutes meal concept. Another may be the almost-homemade cooking style that uses many off the shelf ingredients to simplify the cooking process. The main disadvantage to both of these methods is that neither of them does much to address the time that is required for cleanup. A reduction in cooking time matters little if there is still a substantial dish cleanup routine to go through once the preparation and service is finished. This is how One Pot Classics comes to the rescue. The book's premise is that there are a wide variety of classic and gourmet-level meals that can be prepared (usually) in a single pot or pan in order to mitigate the cleanup routine.
