I have been a fan of yours for a long time. When I changed careers from teaching to banking, (with an hour-long commute one way), I knew I had to do something to get supper on the table quick. I picked up a copy of Desperation Dinners! over 10 years ago, and it is still one of my most used cookbooks.
