Dinner in One: Exceptional and Easy One-Pan Meals

$33 · Offered by Kitchen Arts & Letters

Many of us here, as well as hordes of readers of The New York Times , turn to Melissa Clark for ideas for good, simply prepared food. Her approach is often enough of a twist on the familiar to help us feel we're getting out of a rut. In this collection of one-dish recipes, Clark offers an assortment of sheet pan, skillet, pasta, dutch oven, and casserole dinners that occupy an attractive place between comfort food and contemporary flavors. A simple dish of lemon chicken roasted atop potatoes, dressed with a few capers, is here, along with spicy turkey larb, a riff on the meat salad enjoyed in Thailand and Laos that is redolent of lime and fresh herbs. Crunchy peanut-crusted tofu with asparagus will work for an appealing meatless dinner, as will a hearty dish of rice and beans with quick-pickled jalapenos. Throughout the book Clark offers side bars to suggest substitutions or vegan approaches, adding to the versatility of this practical cookbook. Hardcover. Color photographs throughout.
