Simply Ming One Pot Meals Quick, Healthy & Affordable Recipes

James Beard Award¿winning chef Tsai (and author of Simply Ming) provides 80 one-pan recipes that can be created quickly and healthfully, with relatively inexpensive ingredients. Tsai focuses on seven cooking methods best-suited to one-pot meals: braise, wok, sauté, roast, high temp--which includes steaming and flash frying--soup, and toss. Throughout, Tsai offers preparation tips and drink suggestions, and each recipe is accompanied by a full-color photo. Tsai's trademark Asian flair is evident, but he also ventures into the realm of comfort food, with garlic osso buco with celeriac, chicken meatballs with penne and tomato sauce, and panko-crusted turkey "scaloppini" with warm mango-cranberry chutney. Recipes are short--none longer than one page--and easy to construct. Tsai also includes a helpful glossary of ingredients and techniques for those looking for additional culinary instruction.

James Beard Award-winning Chinese-American chef Ming Tsai has produced and hosted Simply Ming on US television for the past 7 years. Formerly a mainstay on the Food Network as the host of East Meets West, for which he won an Emmy, he is also the author of Simply Ming and Blue Ginger (also with Arthur Boehm) and has created food products and cookware under both the Ming East-West and Blue Ginger labels.

Arthur Boehm writes about food for a number of national publications and is co-author of the Modern Seafood Cook, The Empire Kosher Cookbook, Blue Ginger, and Simply Ming. He lives in New York City.
