Synopsis

There's not a single thorny artichoke, scrawny quail, or roasted chestnut to be peeled in this book. What you will find in BITE ME are 175 dependably delicious recipes created for the urban and suburban, the aspiring and well-seasoned home cook. You won't need an army of sous chefs, a pantry of guava paste, or a blowtorch in order to turn a bag of groceries into a satisfying meal. We're all about making you confident in the kitchen and relaxed at the table.

About this title

About the Author:

Saucy sisters Julie Albert and Lisa Gnat are somebody alright. Julie's a busybody, who lives for laughs, pop culture, music, photography and entertaining. Lisa is a homebody, whose bionic nose and supreme palate have fuelled her passion for eating and feeding and helped her conquer the age-old 'What's for dinner' dilemma. Together, these girls are everybody - like everybody, they want to feast on extraordinary eats, marvel in merrymaking and, guilt-free, tell one and all to 'Bite Me.'

From Publishers Weekly:

For those who want sass, attitude, and a fly-by-night-feel, sisters Albert and Gnat offer up a fun collection of 175 recipes pulled together in a quirky package complete with offbeat photos (think grandma vacuuming another grandma, an underwear-clad woman emerging from a washing machine, and miniature firemen using fettuccine as a hose). Chapters broken down by course or protein include Catch Me (fish), Gobble Me (chicken), and Fork Me (dessert). Dishes range from the gluttonous, nongourmet sky-high potato skins, and gooey monkey bread with caramel glaze, to more healthful and sophisticated options including restorative roasted vegetable soup, and miso glazed cod. While helpful kitchen tips are included, sidebars lean toward the entertaining and include "Tunes to Cook To" and Top 10 lists, falling in line with the authors goal to "speak to more than just your stomach" and offer a "multisensory smorgasbord." Serious cooks will most likely shy away from this one, but fun-loving ladle-wielding ones will enjoy this title's light-heartedness. (Nov.)
