Your family has a hankering--a yen for chicken tikka masala or queso
fundido, for shrimp pad thai or a Philly cheesesteak--and they want it
bad. So you decide to eat out at a local ethnic or roadside restaurant,
or do take-out. It's expedient, but is the food really that good? Really
really good? Because Lucinda Scala Quinn's versions of all those dishes
families crave will knock your socks off and prove beyond a doubt that
the foods you love can be made better, faster, tastier, cheaper, and
more healthfully at home.
Lucinda Scala Quinn is all about smart
strategies that simplify and make for great taste, so why outsource
feeding our families when it takes less time, money, and effort to cook
these favorite comfort foods ourselves? And why miss out on the untold
gifts of sitting at home with your family around the dining room table?
So next time there's a request for pulled pork or deep-dish pizza or
chicken fettuccine Alfredo, or cold soba noodles or fried rice, forget
about soggy takeout and overpriced restaurants--just crack open this
book and you'll find simple recipes for all those dishes your family
wants to eat, " right now." -- Publisher Marketing
