Cooking & Food. Nonfiction. HTML:#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? America??s favorite home cook presents delicious, crowd-pleasing, go-to recipes that you??ll want to make over and over again!
Even Ina Garten, America's most-trusted and beloved home cook, sometimes finds cooking stressful. To make life easy she relies on a repertoire of recipes that she knows will turn out perfectly every time. Cooking night after night during the pandemic inspired her to re-think the way she approached dinner, and the result is this collection of comforting and delicious recipes that you??ll love preparing and serving. You??ll find lots of freeze-ahead, make-ahead, prep-ahead, and simply assembled recipes so you, too, can make dinner a breeze.
In Go-To Dinners, Ina shares her strategies for making her most satisfying and uncomplicated dinners. Many, like Overnight Mac & Cheese, you can make ahead and throw in the oven right before dinner. Light dinners like Tuscan White Bean Soup can be prepped ahead and assembled at the last minute. Go-to family meals like Chicken in a Pot with Orzo and Hasselback Kielbasa will feed a crowd with very little effort. And who doesn??t want to eat Breakfast For Dinner? You??ll find recipes for Scrambled Eggs Cacio e Pepe and Roasted Vegetables with Jammy Eggs that are a snap to make and so satisfying. Ina??s ??Two-Fers? guide you on how to turn leftovers from one dinner into something different and delicious the second night.
And sometimes the best dinner is one you don??t even have to cook! You??ll find Ina??s favorite boards to serve with store-bought ingredients, like an Antipasto Board and Breakfast-for-Dinner Board that are fun to assemble and so impressive to serve. Finally, because no meal can be considered dinner without dessert, there are plenty of prep-ahead and easy sweets like a Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie and Beatty??s Chocolate Cupcakes that everyone will rave about.
For Ina, ??I love you, come for dinner? is more than just an invitation to share a meal, it??s a way to create a community of friends and family who love and take care of each other, and we all need that now more than ever. These go-to recipes will give you the confidence to cre

Some great recipes that are easy to follow and have easy to find ingredients! I'll definitely be making some of them. ( )

If you're looking to add to your recipe cache, this is a great book to delve into. Some of the recipes can be a bit pricey to source, depending on where you live, but others are within most budgets. ( )

Like so many cookbooks, beautiful photography, and high-quality glossy paper are the most attractive features of go-to dinners. The organization of the text is logical, and the directions are easy to follow. However, the selection of recipes is uninspiring. This book fails to offer anything that would merit shelf space in your cookbook collection. ( )

I couldn't wait to get this cookbook because Ina wrote it during the pandemic. So many authors we are reading now are including a note page on how they wrote and created books while stuck at home! Ina Garten says she hates left overs but during this time had to figure out what she calls "two-fors" , get two meals out of one. It is a great book and has some wonderful recipes and new ideas for an easy meal time. She also includes her thoughts on why entertaining guests is so important to her as it is to me and my loved ones. ( )
