Sara Moulton may be a professional chef and television personality,
but she's also a working mother who has to get dinner on the table for
her husband and kids every night. In Sara Moulton's Everyday Family
Dinners, she shares more than two hundred new family-tested,
family-pleasing recipes--whether you're new to the kitchen or just
looking for a way to spice up your recipe repertoire, Sara's carefully
tested recipes are a great place to start.
Chicken Saltimbocca with Artichoke Sauce is a welcome change of pace,
while Oven-Fried Fish Sticks are a lighter update of a kid-friendly
classic. If you're looking to experiment with new ingredients and
cuisines without venturing beyond your local grocery, the
Korean-inspired Clay Pot Vegetable Stew and Sara's take on Vietnamese
Bahn Mi make it easy to try global flavors.
For a quick, pulled-from-the-pantry meal, try Polenta Lasagna or BLT and
Egg Pie. Shake things up and serve appetizers like Pork Sliders, Asian
Style, and Manchego-Stuffed Figs Wrapped in Bacon for dinner, or declare
Sandwich Night and serve Picadillo Sloppy Joes. If you have a vegetarian
in the family or you're just trying to economize, flip to the chapter on
vegetarian mains for recipes for delicious and nutritious fare like
Tortilla Pizza or Rustic Potato and Greens Pie. For dessert there's
Butterscotch Pudding Cake, Warm Chocolate Cheesecake, and much more. And
finally, on Sunday, when you have a little more time to cook, there is a
chapter for comfort food that will cure the end-of-the-weekend blues and
get the week started right.
Perhaps most important to the overscheduled home cook, Sara's recipes
help you cook smarter, faster, and cleaner. Each recipe lists cooking
and preparation times, and easy-to-follow instructions streamline the
process by integrating prep and cleanup into each step. Sidebars on
shopping, storing, preparing, and serving share the tips Sara has
collected over many years of answering questions from home cooks across
the country. Creative, crowd-pleasing, and fuss free, the recipes in
Sara Moulton's Everyday Family Dinners make family dinner a pleasure
for everyone.
