Synopsis

Continuing the magazine’s respected series of topical books, Bon Appétit Every-Night Cooking offers recipes and ideas to help even the busiest cooks put together an appealing and imaginative dinner every night of the week.

Bon Appétit Every-Night Cooking is for everyone who wants to serve dinners that make it look as if they were cooking all day, when nothing could be further from the truth.

The editors of Bon Appétit start by providing tips on stocking the pantry, shopping, budgeting, storage, menu planning, and making dinner preparation as easy as possible to help save time. They present Dinner Plans—including Instant Stir-Fries, Main Course Salads, Quick Pastas, and Skillet Suppers—in a variety of styles, all with suggestions for variations and preparing ingredients ahead of time. Why not try Breakfast for Dinner, with ideas for omelets, pancakes, and French toast? Or a night of Big Sandwiches? Health Appreciation Night and Meatless Night offer plenty of flavor along with good nutrition. Got a crazy schedule? Maybe a Make-Ahead Casserole or Back-of-the-Stove Stew will fit right in.

With so many options, preparing dinner after a long day will not only be less of a chore, it will be more delicious and fun.

Reviews

With their latest book, the editors of the popular food magazine set out to revamp the harried cook's approach to quick dinners, and they have come up with over 150 recipes (with suggested variations and do-ahead hints) they promise will be "fast" and "fun." Their attractive, well-illustrated collection is cleverly divided into sections focusing on different types of dinners for example, Instant Stir-Fries, Big Salads, Sandwich Suppers, Kid Fare and even Breakfast for Dinner (featuring pancakes, quiches and huevos rancheros). A survival guide for stocking the pantry, planning menus, cleaning up, etc., kicks off the first chapter, and every-night extras (snacks and special sweets) gives an extra fillip to the last. Though straightforward, many of the recipes are not for beginners, and some have time-consuming directions lurking midtext. A few dishes veer off into the nonsensical, like Baked Potatoes Stuffed with Cheese and Taco Chips for an entree, and Lamb with Curry, Cumin and Peanut Butter for the kids; but most are delicious and practical. Homemade Vegetarian Tortilla Soup, Tuscan Pork and Rice Salad, Three-Cheese Spinach Calzones and Grilled Halibut with Tomato Compote all prove that, for streamlined suppers, there is life beyond rotisserie chicken and supermarket salad bars. 100 color photos.
