Dinner can be equal parts impressive and simple any day of the week. Sometimes all you need is a little inspiration and a cabbage-and this book! NATIONAL BESTSELLER Dinner can be equal parts impressive and simple any day of the week. Sometimes all you need is a little inspiration and a cabbage-and this book! In A Generous Meal, Christine Flynn shows us-contrary to popular belief-that you don't need a lot of time, money, or know-how to make good food. A simple potato can transform a so-so day into something special, a soup can warm you in more ways than one, and baking a chocolate cake is just another way of shouting, "I love you!" at the top of your lungs. A Generous Meal is a modern cookbook of over 100 recipes that anyone-from a novice to an experienced chef like Christine-can use to whip up restaurant-quality meals with ease. Maybe you are having people over and want to put out some crusty bread and serve an array of simple starters like Butter Beans in Salsa Verde or Warm Chorizo in Sidra that will get everyone nibbling. Or, perhaps you're looking for a vegetable forward weeknight meal like Spicy Oven Charred Cabbage and Lemons. Seafood dishes, including Herb Stuffed Rainbow Trout or Cod and Zucchini in Curry Coconut Broth, offer good variety, and meaty mains like Crispy Chicken Thighs over Vinegar Beans or Lamb Loin Chops over Minty Pistachio Butter are perfect any day of the week-and just as impressive to serve to guests. And what is a meal without the possibility of dessert? Satisfy your post-dinner sweet tooth cravings with recipes like Caramel Pecan Ice Cream Crumble Cake or Polenta Biscuits with Sweet Corn Cream and Strawberries. The recipes in A Generous Meal are fresh, comforting, easy to follow, and the best part? They are enjoyable to cook and eat.
