Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast

With 250 tempting recipes to take you from breakfast all the way through dessert, Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast is the indispensable collection that home cooks yearn for. Organized into familiar categories-including sandwiches and pizzas, appetizers, salads, soups and stews, pastas, main courses, and side dishes-this highly anticipated follow-up to the bestselling Everyday Food: Great Food Fast helps you whip up the perfect dish any time of day. Here is a book for the way we cook and eat now, with an emphasis on stretching meals (for example, leftovers from a roasted chicken are used to make a quick gumbo and roasted vegetables perform a second act as a vibrant pizza topping), turning to economical ingredients that deliver great results (such as flank steak, served with a piquant parsley-garlic sauce), and making healthier versions of comfort foods without skimping on flavor (like a lower-calorie chicken potpie). A section on enticing vegetarian main dishes as well as a roster of irresistible desserts round out this comprehensive collection. Here's a taste of what's inside: Breakfast: Jam-Filled French Toast; Sandwiches and Pizzas: Eggplant and Mozzarella Melt; Appetizers: Goat Cheese Crostini; Salads: BLT Salad with Buttermilk Dressing; Soups and Stews: Minestrone; Pastas: Spaghetti Puttanesca; Main Courses: Meatballs with Rosemary; Vegetarian: Mushroom and Parmesan Risotto; Side Dishes: Roasted Sweet Potato Fries; Desserts: Gingered Blackberry and Plum Shortcakes.
