The Bride & Groom First and Forever Cookbook

The bestselling creators of Smoothies, Super Smoothies and Wraps are together again, this time with a fabulous cookbook for newlyweds. With over 125 simple but sophisticated recipes, new, and not so new, cooks will be able to prepare great meals for their new spouse, friends, business associates and, of course, the intimidating in-laws. Learn which are the best staples to stock in the pantry and bar, which pots and pans are really needed and which appliances are the most useful. Recipes include Classic Lasagna, Honey-Mustard Glazed Salmon and Silken Chocolate Tart, as well as the basic building blocks of sauces, relishes and vinaigrettes. Included are menus for major holidays, a glossary of cooking terms, a guide to seasonal fruits and vegetables and even a section of ultra-fast dinner ideas.
