Synopsis

Get in the Kitchen with Pro Tips, Tricks, Shortcuts & Amazing Recipes

The Clever Cookbook is your kitchen’s new best friend. Emilie Raffa’s debut cookbook is packed with all the timesaving shortcuts and flavor-boosting tips that she learned in culinary school and puts to use daily as a busy mom cooking easy and delicious meals for her family. When you cook with this book, it’s like Emilie is right there in your kitchen, telling stories and walking you through the steps to make amazing food with ease―and teaching you all her handy time-savers along the way! Her recipes focus on fresh, whole-food ingredients; this is comfort food you can feel good about.

As an example of what’s inside, Emilie’s version of classic risotto―which normally needs endless stirring on the stovetop―is much easier and just as delicious baked in the oven. Freeze meat in a marinade right when you get home from the store and you’re ready for amazingly flavorful dishes such as The New Mediterranean Baked Chicken or Sweet & Savory Soy Grilled Flank Steak & Zucchini all week long.

With these incredible recipes and tips, anyone can learn to prepare delicious homemade meals quickly and with ease.
