How can I cook a fabulous meal without spending my entire day in front of the stove? Decades of reading America's favorite recipes have led us to believe that this is the question cooks ask themselves most as they approach their kitchens. Meals, of course, are about hospitality and care, but American cooks have long realized that their guests--whether they're family or special visitors--would prefer to dine with a relaxed host serving a good meal than with an exhausted host serving a fancy one.

California Casserole was the first main dish to capture a Grand Prize, at the eighth Bake-Off® Contest in 1956, and is a good example of how the question of cooking quickly and spectacularly is solved. Margaret Hatheway took an Austrian dish and made the sauces easy by starting with a base of canned cream of chicken soup. It's the kind of dish that seems like it would take half a day's labor--but doesn't. The 1959 contest's Crab Meat Salad Pie was a typical country-club-type dish that Evelyn Robinson adapted for home cooks, another example of impressive fare that can be put together without denting a busy schedule. More recent recipes, like 1994's Italian- and French-influenced Spicy Broccoli Aïoli Pizza, reflect today's interest in international flavors. Every Bake-Off® Contest dish, however, expands on the most significant of perennial yet contemporary cooking trends: convenience.
