Serves Two

25 Complete One Pan Dinners for Two Busy People
Carla Snyder

Making dinner can be one of the most daunting tasks of the day. It’s late, you’re tired… brain dead actually. You’re too exhausted to go out for dinner. All you want to do is eat a nice warm meal at your own table in your own home and decompress -maybe with a glass of wine or even a cocktail.

Serves Two is the answer to your dilemma. Inside its pages are recipes for complete made-from- scratch-meals, with one pan clean-up and ready to eat in about 30 minutes. These are not casseroles, but dishes like Roasted Halibut with Fingerlings and Chimichurri Mayo, Braised Chicken Involtini with Tomatoes and Capers and Whole-Wheat Pasta with Chicken, Snow Peas and Peanut Sauce. How is this possible? I’ve condensed my knowledge as a cooking school instructor, caterer and recipe developer and paired foods with similar cooking techniques, to make a meal in one pan.

Soup in Season

25 Delicious, Satisfying, Refreshing Soups to Suit Any Occasion, Any Time of Year
Cynthia Nims

Few culinary devices are as deliciously versatile as soups. Think about it! In the blazing heat of summer, you can reach into the refrigerator for a bowl of Smoky Gazpacho and serve a refreshing supper without breaking a sweat. Or, in the dead of mid-winter, warm up the kitchen—and your family—with a simmering pot of rich Cranberry Bean Soup with Ham Hocks. Seasonal influences on soups abound, whether it’s fresh spring vegetables in a Pistou Soup, sweet summer corn in Corn and Bacon Chowder or fall’s bounty of chanterelles in a hearty Mushroom, Leek and Farro Soup.

This collection of 25 recipes gives you a taste of the diverse world of soups, recipes with a range of cultural and seasonal influences that are sure to offer something to suit any mood and any meal.
