The Lazy (About Everything) Gourmet Columns:

You often hear people say somebody’s “lazy” ... as if that’s a bad thing. The Lazy (about everything) Gourmet food columnist and cookbook author Pamela Rice Hahn asks: Why work any harder than you have to?

Pam believes that it’s time that being lazy gets the respect it deserves! In fact, with all the demands today on everyone’s time and energies -- or more appropriately, lack of time and energy -- The Lazy Gourmet way of planning your food routine is the only way you’re going to get quick and easy, great-tasting meals done that you can sit back and enjoy with your friends and family.

Pam is of the opinion that anything that gives you more time is fun! And she proves this in The Lazy Gourmet. Whether you're looking for time-saving tips to complement your busy schedule, or simply want an easier way to do things due to health concerns or other reasons, The Lazy Gourmet is your ideal source for information.

In The Lazy Gourmet, Pam demonstrates her “lazy” suggestions that prove that you don’t have to rely on expensive prepared foods to get quick and easy meals on the table. Pam’s step-by-step recipes and suggestions show how you can save time, yet still prepare more healthful foods from scratch that are free of preservatives.

When Pam’s instructions include an unusual ingredient or explanations on a new cooking gadget or piece of equipment, an important feature of The Lazy Gourmet column is the Pam’s Pointers section where she will not only describe any special ingredients and gadgets or equipment, she will also tell you where to find them. (For your convenience, Pam also provides this information on the Web site at LazyAbout.com.)

Pamela Rice Hahn (Celina, OH) is the author of Lazy About Grilling: the feet up, hands down easiest ways to barbecue, The Everything Low-Salt Cookbook, and The Everything Diabetes Cookbook. Pam’s Lazy Gourmet philosophy evolved by necessity: Disabled because of chronic illness, she began researching and learning new ways to conquer everyday activities using minimum effort. In addition to writing The Lazy Gourmet column, Pam maintains two cooking-related Web sites: CookingWithPam.com and LazyAbout.com.
