Synopsis

Why embarrassed? Because the sublime meal your guests are consuming was created from the most unlikely combination of ingredients imaginable. Our cookbook turns culinary conventions on their heads while producing fabulous, sophisticated, innovative dishes: celestial appetizers, irresistible soups and salads, succulent entrees, wicked desserts. Each recipe triumphs without toil for anyone who thinks that cooking is too hard or who simply doesn’t have the time or inclination to spend hours in the kitchen. The shortcuts and surprise ingredients make no psychic demands on the cook, require no special skills or experience and call for no elaborate equipment. The recipes are the equivalent of the speed dial on your phone, the wireless internet or the invaluable food processor itself. Everything you need is probably already sitting on your pantry shelf or in the refrigerator, making it possible to turn out a meal on a moment's notice. Most of the recipes take less than ten minutes to prepare (and if you have an electric can opener, probably less than five!). When your guests exclaim as they devour one transcendent dish or another, “This is the best thing I’ve ever eaten! What’s in it?,” you will have the sweet satisfaction of saying, “Well, I’m embarrassed to tell you, but it’s—”

About this title

About the Author:

JUDY ROSENTHAL Her passion for food has taken her around the world In search of exotic eating experiences: from fermented mare's milk in Mongolia; to fresh sea-urchins on the rocks of Sardinia; to live lemon ants in the rain forest of Ecuador, even to the fried Oreo cookies of American street fairs. Her own cooking, always seeking to blend unusual ingredients in innovative ways, has for over three decades made her New York kitchen a sought after destination for friends and family. Whether catering "pot luck" with friends or preparing a reception for 300, cooking has been an important expression of her delight in food. SUSAN YANKOWITZ Playwright, librettist and novelist, her work has been widely published, translated into eighteen languages, and produced throughout the world. This is the first time, however, that she has applied her talents to a cookbook. Given her appetite for extremes - the outrageous and the simple, the popular and the sublime - the recipes in this book really tickled her juices, to mix and stir a metaphor.
