Synopsis

Surveys show that growing numbers of Americans seek to eat healthy meals regularly.

Clear instructions and photos illustrate how to prepare meals with everyday ingredients and easy-to-learn techniques. The book includes numerous time-saving tips and strategies—from organizing the kitchen to smart shopping.

 

•      100 recipes & 250 variations

•      350 full-color photos
