Gourmet Cooking with 5 Ingredients

Rating: 5/5 from 1 reviews Uncomplicated "Gourmet" | ||||||||||||||||||||
But we live in the real world, where assembling 35 ingredients and spending a few hours perfecting garnishes is a physical impossibility for most of us. Work, kids, aging parents and the everyday flood of must-do's often dictate a compromise between what we like to cook (and eat) and the effort we can put into it.
Anderson has proven "gourmet" is not a synonym for "complicated," and in this books shares with us her culinary strategies to enjoy cooking and serving elegant, tasty dishes prepared with only 5 ingredients. And Cream of Mushroom Soup is not an "ingredient" in Anderson's kitchen! We're not talking tuna casserole here.
Yes, it sounded too simple to me, too, but her recipes actually call for only 5 ingredients (excluding salt & pepper)and taste like you spent a weekend in the kitchen. I recommend the crabcakes, which are to die for!
This book is on my Christmas list for all my friends who love food -- but can't spend days assembling exotic ingredients.
