Oooey, gooey ribbons of delectable melted cheese sandwiched between butter-crisped slices of sourdough, wheat, rye, and even focaccia and croissant, combined with favorite foods such as bacon, pequillo peppers, guacamole, seasonal veggies, caramelized onions, pears, herbs, and so much more--what is there not to love about the modern grilled cheese?
Inside "Grilled Cheese, Please," award-winning cheese expert Laura Werlin presents 50 recipes that elevate the classic grilled cheese sandwich to a culinary center-of-the-plate meal changer through innovative and delicious recipes such as Say Ole (Two Cheeses, Guacamole, Bacon, and a Corn Chip Crust); Brie, Mozzarella, and Sauteed Pears with Blue Cheese Butter; and Cheddar, Chorizo, Apples, and Pickled Onions on Ciabatta. The recipes are divided into seven chapters that are arranged by topics such as Grilled Cheese on the Go, Ethnic-Inspired, Meat and Cheese, and Veggie and Cheese among others. "Grilled Cheese, Please" features full-color photography, along with sections highlighting the best cooking techniques, melting cheeses, and other "best" grilled cheese insights, as well as a list of restaurants, stands, and mobile trucks across the country where grilled cheese is the focus, not the side dish.
Perfectly timed to coincide with National Grilled Cheese Month, "Grilled Cheese, Please" encourages melted cheese enthusiasts to expand their grilled cheese horizons by enjoying these riffs on the original and in the process become seduced all over again by the velvety goodness found within. -- Publisher Marketing

The Stocked Kitchen: One Grocery List... Endless Recipes

by Sarah Kallio    (Find this book)

 We've all had that moment during the day when we ask with a pit in our stomach, "What am I going to make for dinner?" We stand in our kitchens having a conversation with ourselves (hopefully silently), "I don't have anything to make.... What I planned doesn't sound good.... I don't have any time to cook let alone get to the store."

Families across the country are continually searching for a way to make the process easier. Many get discouraged into pre-packaged complacency, which doesn't satisfy any real cravings. Bookstores contain myriad cookbooks toting catch phrases like "Quick and Simple" or "Cheap and Easy." The recipes may be quick, but they often require readers to purchase random ingredients they'll never use again. As a result, home cooks find themselves burdened with cluttered pantries, refrigerators, and cupboards filled with hundreds of dollars of cookbooks and specialty items like "red pepper paste" and are still left without an easy to use, versatile, and effective system for getting dinner on the table. That's where Sarah Kallio, Stacey Krastins, and "The Stocked Kitchen "comes in!

The Stocked Kitchen(TM) is the first complete meal creation system with only one standard list of groceries. If your kitchen is "Stocked" with these ingredients you will always have what you need to create any of the 300 delicious recipes found in this book. These recipes have been used for all of the authors' own dining needs, including meals for drop-in guests, special occasions, and every-night family dinners. "The Stocked Kitchen "encompasses all parts of the meal creation process from shopping, to storing, to cooking, to serving. The results are delicious, "guest worthy" meals made from real, basic ingredients.

Sarah and Stacey have proven The Stocked Kitchen(TM) system works. It has reduced their grocery bills, stress levels, trips to the market, and food waste. Create more delicious meals while removing the handcuffs of pre-planning. One grocery list, endless recipes -- Publisher Marketing
