Synopsis

Fast, delightful meals for every day or special occasions

Busy schedules and family demands can make it challenging to create quick, easy–and, at the same time, delicious–meals at home. This one-pot meal cookbook, which features over 125 short, scrumptious recipes, is all about convenience, taste, and presentation with minimum effort and maximum flavor. Leslie Revsin includes elegant yet unfussy dishes–Spaghetti with Pesto and Grape Tomatoes; Spanish Chicken and Garbanzo Stew; Chicken, Basil, and Peanut Stir-Fry; Roast Jerk Pork with Yams and Watercress; Sliced Steak, Baby Spinach, and Roquefort Salad; and Quick Ham Cassoulet, to name a few–that can be made from readily available supermarket ingredients and are simple in terms of the number of ingredients (no more than ten), number of steps (no more than three), and preparation time. And like every other book in The Simpler The Better series, One-Pot Meals includes quick tips, variations, and clever ideas for serving and dressing up dishes.

About this title

From the Back Cover

"Revsin's cooking has always been direct, flavorful, and essentially American. Once tasted, her dishes are usually not forgotten."
—Gourmet

If you love making delicious meals but don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen, The Simpler The Better: Sensational One-Dish Meals is the book for you. One-dish cooking doesn't have to sacrifice taste for convenience, and the proof is in Leslie Revsin's richly flavored dishes. She helps you put irresistible all-in-one meals on the table in under an hour, and often in fewer than thirty minutes. Ingredients are easy to find and kept to a minimum as well, so you may not have to look any further than your own kitchen pantry to start cooking with style.

Revsin makes cooking not only simpler, but better, with dishes that are special enough for entertaining, but easy enough for any night of the week. You will be tempted to try them all, from fresh choices like Tuna, Sun-Dried Tomato, and White Bean Salad or Red Curry Chicken and Rice Soup to hearty classics like Quick Cassoulet.

The recipes are packed with valuable hints: simple tips that explain an ingredient or technique, variations, and "dress it up" ideas that add inspired flourishes to already terrific dishes.
