Summary: Yes you can do it in an hour, if...
Comment: Probably pointless to add another review, but I love this book so much and it needs some defense. I agree with most reviewers that many of the menues - note that's complete *menues*, not individual recipes - can't be prepared in under an hour, but I would guess that a third to a half can, especially if you don't prepare the dessert portion.
This is not a how-to book for beginners, but if you can saute garlic and onions without burning them, understand the difference between browning meat and stewing it, and have the judgement to sense that if the recipe says 'medium-high for 10 minutes' and yours is burning after two that you should turn the heat down, then there is nothing you can't prepare successfully in this book. I mean, for each menu, they even tell you what order to do the different parts of the menu. It can't get much plainer than that! And you will probably learn a great deal from it. I sure have.
The aspect of this book I love most is the excellent combination of dishes to form complete menues. Even if I'm not preparing a recipe from this book, I often refer to it for suggestions in pairing dishes with something I am planning to cook. The second best aspect in my opinion is the nutrition information summarized for the complete menu as well as broken down per dish.
I can't believe this book is out of print. It should be considered a classic. Buy it if you can find it. You won't regret it.

Summary: Taste-Time-Health
Comment: Keywords of this approach. Recipes mostly deliver these intended three, although for some the short time might cause some problems. Must be organized with ingredients and prep and know techniques ahead of time.
Organized by season, with full menu, usually entree, accompanying dish and dessert, typically three-course. Great results with these: The Turkey Cutlet Caper, A Rea; Snappy Supper, and a Southern Porch Supper.

Summary: Great Recipes that take more than an hour
Comment: This cookbook was a gift which has turned out to be a mixed blessing. The recipes are amazing, especially the Chicken Cordon Bleu, but my feeling on the title is that you are in a rush to cook the recipes in an hour. The recipes take more time than an hour, but are very worth the effort. I especially appreciate the coordinated menus and timetable of sequence of cooking events, which helps me to know what to do first.
