The reason people don't have time to cook is because cooking takes too much time for them. Most of it is spent reading the recipe and gathering the ingredients. My suggestion for most people is to try and not follow recipes but learn the basics. For example, when you see a recipe which calls for 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Measuring out that 1/4 teaspoon probably takes a minute. By the time you go to the drawer, fumble around for a measuring spoon, measure the salt, you're probably at around 1 min. You're really much better off sprinkling whatever you're cooking with a little salt just like you'd have to do it to a piece of chicken.

Cooking is really axiomatic. Follow a few simple rules and you can't screwup.
