Overview
"Tired of trying to figure out what to serve for dinner night after night? Fortunately, Michael Roberts isn't. Far this Los Angeles chef dinner is the most social, and creative, meal of the day. In this wonderfully delicious collection he shares more than two hundred main-course recipes sure to fit any taste, any mood, any schedule. Consider, for example:" "Kettle Dinners. Soul - and body-warming casseroles that simmer all day guaranteed to take the chill off cold nights and blue moods - hearty soups and stews such as Duck and White Bean Chili, and Corned Beef and Brussels Sprouts with Potato Dumplings." "Fifties Favorites. The food that nostalgia is made of - box-top recipes resurrected, then made sophisticated and utterly delicious: Macaroni and Cheese and Cauliflower, Maple Syrup Shoulder of Pork, and Sausage and Potato Salad." "Dinners Your Grandmother Wouldn't Recognize. Meals drawn from the author's Eastern European ancestry, once lovingly prepared by his two grandmothers, now updated and revised for modern tastes: Chicken Fricassee, Mushroom Barley Soup with Short Ribs, and Barbecued Brisket." "If time is a problem, there are Cool Dinners - everything from a classic Picnic Fried Chicken to Seared Swordfish Salad Nicoise, many conveniently prepared in advance. And Last-Minute Dinners - Pan-Roasted Peppered Scallops and Veal Scallopine with Leeks - are perfect for unexpected company or any time you're out of time." "Dinners Without Meat prove that vegetarian cooking can be tasty, exciting, and colorful; one need only try Tarte d l'Oignon and Vegetable-Stuffed Cabbage to appreciate Roberts's twist on some old standbys. And Politically Correct Dinners promote grains, beans, and pasta to main-course status without losing an ounce of flavor or mealtime sophistication." "For those with a taste for the far away, there are menus for Asian feasts, Mexican suppers, and French and Italian classics. And finally, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner offers recipes for entertaining with style." "Throughout this exploration of dinnertime recipes are tips on how to master basic cooking techniques: how to roast to perfection, make the perfect hamburger, and assure a crispy crust." "What's for Dinner? is a marvelous showcase for Michael Roberts's inventiveness and talent in the kitchen, his respect for the past and acknowledgment of the demands of the present, and his intelligence and sense of humor about food. If dinnertime decisions have had you in a quandary, this is the answer to your prayers."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
