Review Quotes:
"You know how some books promise fast, easy dinners--but there's always some weird catch? This book REALLY, absolutely, 100% delivers on that promise. I dare you to flip through and not find at least a dozen delicious meals you can probably make with what you have on hand right this second. Packed with recipes that have crazy-short ingredient lists, fast cooking times, and creative spins, this is my kind of cookbook. I'll bet it's yours, too."
--Jenny Rosenstrach, best-selling author of Dinner: A Love Story and The Weekday Vegetarians "You're going to want Jenna as your new friend in the kitchen. In keeping with her philosophy, this book is filled with simple dinner options that are rounded out with helpful tips, suggested sides, dress it up moments, and substitutions. I learned some new tips and I think you will, too. But, most importantly, the recipes are delicious, approachable, and totally doable. I hope you love this book as much as I do. Welcome to MY kitchen, Jenna!"
--Sarah Carey, editorial director of food and entertaining, Martha Stewart Living
