Book excerpt: While passing out T-shirts at their kid's school, Linda Coffee, a home economist, and Emily Cale, a teacher, started talking about what to cook for dinner that night. Both still had carpool to run, errands and full-time jobs. They were tired, didn't have time to go to the grocery store and fast food was out because they had already done that three times that week. They needed something quick, easy and tasty. They wanted a "quick-fix meal". Linda commented that she didn't even read recipes with more than four ingredients any more. Hence, the "Four Ingredient Cookbook" was born. The first book sold 80,000 before the authors knew what happened. The second book, "More Four Ingredient Cookbook" was born, followed by "Low Fat and Light Four Ingredients" and all met with similar success. They sold more than 300,000 copies of the three separate cookbooks to individuals and to mom-and-pop gift stores within a few years. Now, there's one cookbook that combines all three.
