Do you find your kitchen lacking at mealtime? Missing time and/or money? Do you have only one clean pot or an empty pantry? Or worse! One could lack in multiple directions!
(or maybe you just like reading cookbooks for pleasure?)
Easy One-Pot: frugal recipes for busy cooks
[Time / Budget / Cookware]
This book holds easy-to-follow recipes, supported by colour photos. The meals require two pots at most, and are based on commonly available, inexpensive ingredients.
Sounds like the meals would also be lacking? Does ‘Summer Tagine of Lamb’ sound like its lacking?
by Carrolyn Carreno [Time / Budget / Cookware]
Each recipe provided lacks 15-30 minutes at most. With each cooked in only one pot, and much of the food storable, you save time now and later, and money. And you avoid dish-hands!
Meals that stood out to me: ‘Mustard-Crusted Salmon and Potatoes’, ‘Chicken and Leek Pie’, ‘Cuban Pork Sandwich’. Enticing!
