200+ inventive yet straightforward recipes that will make anyone a
better and more confident cook, from a James Beard Award-winning chef
"Everything I want for my dinner--dishes which are familiar but fresh,
approachable but exciting."--Yotam Ottolenghi
Dinner has the range and authority--and Melissa Clark's trademark
warmth--of an instant classic. With more than 200 all-new recipes,
Dinner is about options: inherently simple recipes that you can make
any night of the week.
Each recipe in this book is meant to be dinner--one fantastic dish that
is so satisfying and flavor-forward it can stand alone--maybe with a
little salad or some bread on the side. This is what Melissa Clark means
by changing the game. Organized by main ingredient--chicken, meat, fish
and seafood, eggs, pasta and noodles, tofu, vegetable dinners, grains,
pizza, soups, and salads that mean it--Dinner covers an astonishing
breadth of ideas about just what dinner can be. There is something for
every mood, season, and the amount of time you have: sheet pan chicken
laced with spicy harissa, burgers amped with chorizo, curried lentils
with poached eggs, to name just a few dishes in this indispensable
collection. Here, too, are easy flourishes that make dinner exceptional:
stir charred lemon into pasta, toss creamy Caesar-like dressing on a
grain bowl.
Melissa Clark's mission is to help anyone, whether a novice or an
experienced home cook, figure out what to have for dinner without ever
settling on fallbacks.
