"Marnie Swedberg's cookbook contains about 100 recipes. But it offers more than ingredients and cooking times. Marnie's Kitchen Shortcuts lays out a strategy..."
Gary Mill, West Central Tribune


As a small a business owner, Marnie read Michael Gerber's excellent book, E-Myth and was inspired. As a mentor to super busy women, Marnie brings this same type of "ah ha" training to home food managers. Reading Kitchen Shortcuts, you'll learn how to think about food in a new way so you can reach your food related goals.

From page 7, "Michael E. Gerber, the author of E-Myth, teaches restaurant owners to succeed by helping them think like a franchise. You will enjoy noticeable money and time savings in your home kitchen as soon as you begin to think like a restaurateer.

"Imagine walking into a Chick-fil-A and ordering Filet Mignon and a spinach salad. They would just smile, and maybe even feel a bit sorry for you, because your choice is not on the menu. Their kitchen is not prepared to serve that meal. It's the same at home. Think back to the last time you walked into your own kitchen, wanting to cook a meal, but didn't have the right ingredients. Maybe you felt a bit sorry for yourself."

Marnie's Kitchen Shortcuts is a proven system that helps you save time, money and stress while pulling off great-tasting meals that the whole family (and guests) will enjoy.

Stop wasting your time and money and start cooking smart and serving great food!

First published in 1996, the book went through reprints until it went out of print in 2004.

"I bought each of my daughters and daughters in law copies of this book when it first came out. Now I need more copies for my granddaugthers but I can only find one at Amazon for $318! Help!" Harriet Suddley

Now it is back, with the best of the original content plus more super shortcuts Marnie has learned in the interum.

"I wonder if I don't make your Fried Rice once a week! I love the whole book, but I grab it most often for the Substitutions & Equivalents."

"Even after all these years, there isn't a week that goes by when I do not grab your book for one thing or another. I couldn't live without the substitutions guide. Thank you!" Sharon McKenzy

Have you ever bought one of those prepackaged coleslaw seasoning packets for a buck or more? Check out Marnie's amazing dry mixes which you can make for 1-20% of that cost! In addition, Marnie always teaches you how to batch tasks, using three minutes to make 10x quantities. This is a favorite TV Home Show demo that you can reproduce in your own kitchen anytime!

Even if you prefer to use the prepackaged mixes, the Dry Mix Magic chapter will save you so many trips to the store: Taco Seasoning Mix, Broth Mix, Creamy Italian & Ranch Mixes, Bisquit Mix, Gravy Mix, White Sauce Mix, Guacamole Seasoning Mix, Pizza and Spaghetti Mixes, Shake & Bake, Meatloaf, Hot Cocoa Mix and More.

Besides being more convenient and far less expensive, these recipes will save you big-time in the health department. Marnie's Cream of Anything Soup Mix is worth the price of this resource all by itself.

This is not even mentioning the cost differential (about 1/10th the store bought variety) or the fact that you don't have preservatives or cans to recycle. Add to the current motivation the fact that Marnie's recipe enables you to make 9 dry mixes at once... in the same amount of time it would have taken you to open the can, empty the can, delabel the can, wash out the can, crush the can and remove the can to the recycling bin.

"This book has changed my kitchen forever! Marnie's Kitchen Shortcuts is not just another cook book. It is a food management system that oraganizes shopping, storing, and preparing. The strategies are neither complicated nor impractical. They really work! No need to waste time or money at the grocery store or in your own kitchen any more.

My favorites in the book are the "make your own" recipes. From cream of mushroom soup to sweet and sour sauce, you no longer have to change your menu when you don't have the canned, store-bought version in your pantry. Marnie's 'make your owns' are easy, taste great, and cost significantly less. Many meals have been rescued at my house just by making use of this one chapter.

This is less a book review and more the divulging of a love-affair with this innovative book. The strategies and time and money saving ideas in this book will affect your whole life." Amazon Review


This is an excellent book!
I recommend this book to every cook!
