“Dinner in One”

I never buy cookbooks, but was intrigued when I heard an interview on NPR with Melissa Clark, a chef and author often featured in the NYTimes Cooking App. The theme of the cookbook, “Dinner in One”, is right up my alley: exceptional and easy one-pan meals. I have now tried several of them (see Spicy, Crispy Lamb recipe in Cooking) and have been very pleased with every outcome. While you may need a bowl and a few measuring implements to concoct the recipe, all ingredients merge together and cook in one pan or on one baking sheet. This book makes a fabulous gift for your child, your friend or most importantly for yourself!
