This is not your ordinary cookbook about food, but a perfectly chosen compilation of recipes put together to tease your taste buds while igniting a flame between you and that special someone in your life. These sensual recipes offer to turn your kitchen into a playground of romance.
The Sisters thought of everything from seductive appetizers to main dishes that will leave you craving more. There are even desserts to tempt your palate. They took it a step further and thoughtfully added the morning after breakfast recipes that are fun and playful for you and your partner to enjoy. This book is broken down into the following categories: Appeteasers; Leafy Lovers & Friends; The Main Attraction; Lovers on the Side; Sandwich Me Please; Happily Ever Afters; Morning Pleasures; Slippery When Wet; Spice Things Up; and You Had Me at Merlot.
This reviewer chose a few recipes presented throughout this cleverly thought out recipe book that she wanted to try. Cuddle Me Cucumber Bites are a breeze to make in which you take a few pieces of sourdough bread and spread either butter, soft cream cheese, or hummus on the bread and add cucumber and green olives as a garnish. A quick and simple pop-in-your-mouth appetizer that doesn’t take much work to prepare and tastes heavenly. As for the main course, The Make Me Moan Meatloaf is another easy to put together meal that once the ingredients are combined, you bake it for 45 minutes in an oven and each piece is mouthwateringly delicious.
Also cleverly added to this cookbook is a section on how to make homemade cocktails, creative spice combinations to use while cooking your meals, and even a section dedicated to how you pair your wine with the foods you make for your special someone. There are plenty of beautifully displayed pictures of the majority of recipes offered in this cookbook, so if you like seeing what the end result should look like, you’ll enjoy looking at these scrumptious full-colored pictures.
Interestingly enough, the title Just Time for a Quickie has a very interesting backstory to it. Joann Miner, the authors’ mother, was a beloved Food Editor in her local newspaper in the early 1980s. She was well respected in the journalism community and adored by her colleagues and readers. She wrote a cookbook titled A Taste of Orange County but the title she originally wanted to call it was Just Time for a Quickie. The newspaper she wrote for believed that name would be too radical in the journalism community for that time, hence the name change of her cookbook. Years later when her daughters were adults, and wanted to write their own cookbook, they paid homage to their mother and chose Just Time for a Quickie as the perfect title for their book.
Quill says: If you’re looking for a cookbook full of quick and delicious recipes to share with your significant other, Just Time for a Quickie by The Sisters is one book that you should definitely consider. It will not disappoint!
