Simply Casseroles or Cooking for Two Revised

Simply Casseroles: Over 100 Quick and Delicious One-Dish Dinners

Author: Kim Lila

Quick, easy, distinct, and delicious is what this contemporary casserole collection is all about. Most take 20 minutes or less to put together, and there's even a chapter of "Fast Fixes," with 15 delicious casseroles all ready for the oven in 10 to 15 minutes. But saving time has not been accomplished at the expense of flavor and variety. Instead, Kim Lila brings casseroles up to speed by supplementing wholesome fresh ingredients with frozen items, prepared foods, "instant" grains, and freezer-case crusts, all available in super markets and gourmet take-out stores.. "These one-pot meals are not only quick and easy to put together but most can be frozen or refrigerated until ready to bake. Make a week's - or even a month's - worth of casseroles in advance, then bring practically an entire meal to the table hot from the oven in the time it would take to "order out" for dinner.. "Enjoy the variety of over 100 casseroles, including global favorites, gourmet entrees, noodle and grain dishes, side-dishes, brunch and light dishes, and desserts.

Cooking for Two Revised

Author: James Barber

Barber's saucy style and matchless gusto have made him a favorite of cooks, and wannabe cooks, worldwide. In Cooking for Two he emphasizes having fun with a partner in the kitchen: "It ought to be a shared courtship, a foreplay to the intimacy of a shared dinner. 'Let's cook supper' will do a lot more for your relationship than 'I'm cooking. Leave me alone.'" Barber's well-known and easy manner of food preparation is once again a pleasure to read and to follow, often bringing a chuckle to the cooks and certainly bringing a large measure of satisfaction with the delicious results.
