Quick from Scratch One-Dish Meals Cookbook

by Food & Wine Magazine

It's a well-balanced, tasty dinner in a dish-the ultimate solution to how to produce a great meal in a short time. And they're all stylish and adventurous, a far cry from yesterday's dull stews. Fewer ports and pans, fewer dishes-but a delicious meal your friends and family will love. What could be better than a browned and bubbling Fusilli with Three Cheeses (fontina, mozzarella, and Parmesan) and Bell Pepper? Or swordfish sitting atop a fluffy mound of couscous, with a vinaigrette of chunky fresh plum tomatoes? A piquant South American chimichurri sauce is the perfect accompaniment to a grilled steak; black beans go alongside. And lots more, with cooking tips for such things as foolproof rice and adjusting the thickness of sauces

I use this book all the time! Every dish we have made out of it has been great. I would highly recommend this book if you like to cook but don't have too much time and don't want to make a huge mess when you cook. It also gives wine recommendations for each dish. It is not low-fat though...lots of meat and cheese in the dishes.

We subscribe to this magazine and love it. This book has great recipes. Some really are quick and some take more time but, either way, you don't have to worry about side dishes because the recipes are all complete meals. Plus, it has wine pairings for every dish.

This is a great cookbook. I actually bought this at Ross several years ago because it was like $1 on clearance and I use it constantly.

Another one of my favs. I've cooked almost every meal in this book and they've all been delicious.
