Recipes 1-2-3 Menu Cookbook: Morning, Noon, and Night: More Fabulous Food Using Only 3 Ingredients Book

Busy cooks seeking fussless, intensely flavored dishes will embrace Rozanne Gold's Recipes 1-2-3 Menu Cookbook: Morning, Noon and Night, the sequel to her award-winning Recipes 1-2-3. In that ingenious book, Gold showed how recipes could be pared down to three ingredients each (salt and pepper aside) to achieve dishes that were more than the sum of their parts. In this book, she presents over 60 menus of three-ingredient dishes, 260 recipes in all, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner--course after course of simple, healthful food based on easy-to-find ingredients inventively treated. Want a lovely weekend breakfast? Try Gold's "Room Service" menu of Poached Eggs with Lime Hollandaise, Smoked Salmon Quesadillas, and Fresh Strawberries with Gingered Yogurt--nine ingredients, total. Hungry Guests, a menu for streamlined entertaining, features Frisée and Beet Salad with Goat Cheese Dressing; Chicken Fricassee with Pearl Onions and Lardons; Celery Root Gratin; and Warm Banana Tarts--a 12-ingredient feast. Other menus present equally satisfying few-ingredient recipes that even novice cooks can prepare. Throughout, Gold provides useful strategies for time-saving cooking; her "Grapenotes" offers wine suggestions to complement the dishes and "Menus from the Healthy Kitchen" lists recipes that are fat-free, low-fat, and low-calorie. You'll find yourself mixing and matching dishes to create your own few-ingredient menus--a tribute to Gold's unique approach and enticing recipes. --Arthur BoehmRead More
