Packed with 175 recipes--from Chicken Breasts with Dried Apricots and Cranberries and Curried Wild Rice Salad with Melon to Marbled Biscotti and Charlotte Russe--Nathalie Dupree's latest cooking treasury takes inspired advantage of whatever refrigerated, frozen, boxed, dried, or canned staples you may have on hand, augmented by fresh foods that tend to keep well.

From Publishers Weekly:
Beard Award-winner Dupree (Southern Memories), author of numerous cookbooks and star of five televised cooking series, here turns to pantry basics, tutoring cooks in the craft of transforming shelf staples into quick and nutritious meals. She simplifies key concepts with the use of visual elements: each recipe is coded according to its main ingredients, with icons signifying its origin in the vegetable bin, international pantry, herb garden, on the dairy shelf or elsewhere. Dupree acknowledges the effort required to stock a home pantry, due in part to cost, but recommends starting with "bomb shelter" basics (an exploding pan is the icon thereof). All cuteness aside, this cookbook is meant for working people whose schedules don't permit them to shop daily. And so, Dupree's omission of time estimates for preparation of dishes and of detailed shopping lists is puzzling. Moreover, few cooks would agree with her that bacon is a "nonperishable" pantry item or that refrigerated eggs keep well for three months. Some recipes look overly familiar: her "Artichoke Nibbles" resemble a popular party appetizer dating from the '50s, and others-hummus and oven-barbecued pork tenderloins-are commonplace. However, side dishes, such as orzo with lemon, capers and herbs, and black-eyed pea and jicama salad, are both imaginative and simple.

From Library Journal:
The recipes in the latest collection from the author of Nathalie Dupree Cooks Great Meals for Busy Days (LJ 6/15/94) are intended to take advantage of a kitchen stocked with both nonperishable staples and those fresh foods and other ingredients that are good keepers. Some of the recipes seem to realize the promise of the subtitle better than others. Most of the main dishes could be easily made by the organized cook with a well-stocked larder, but the appetizers that need a variety of fresh herbs, for example, don't fit the category quite as well. (And Dupree is not averse to making a souffle with the ubiquitous canned cream of mushroom soup or to use canned potatoes.) However, there are some good ideas here, and Dupree's books and TV series have numerous fans. Purchase accordingly.
