Several recipes also come with one or more suggested variants so that if users have a "quickie" a day they can extend diversity beyond the 30 days. At the end of each recipe a section entitled 'Your own variant' followed by a few blank lines to encourage users of this pamphlet to devise/develop their own variant of the recipe. 30first ""quickies"" is a small booklet that does not take too much space in a kitchen, but it will turn out as a handy guide to get ideas for preparing a tasty pasta dish in a short time span.
