Dinner by Melissa Clark

I have ready some of Melissa Clark's column in NYT. I've enjoyed her columns and recipes as well as the videos she produces.

More Information about the Book

When I saw this book, I was intrigued because it's dinner and for our family, dinners can be a whirlwind. Melissa sets out to address that good and healthy dinner can be made without using a slew of dishes or ingredients.

I like how she structure this book by main ingredients and having chicken come first. In our household, chicken is the meat we eat the most. Then she goes into meat/pork, then salad, vegetables grains and even a section on tofu.  How California is that!

I perused this book and as she promised, all the recipes are one pot/pan which I like and because she covers different items, you can make multiple recipes from her book for a dinner.  I really like the grains sections because she goes into rice bowls, not just with rice but with quinoa, brown rice, farro, etc.

The pictures, as you would expect are stunning but not for all the recipes.  I found most ingredients are each to obtain but pomegrante molasses, didn't even know there was such a thing.

I would highly recommend this book to those who are looking for new options for dinner yet not having to slave over the stove for dinner.

 I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
