Book Review: Real Simple Best Recipes: Easy, Delicious Meals
Summary: 4 Stars
If you want uncomplicated cooking, here's a cookbook for you. If, however, you already know your way around a kitchen, you probably won't find any new challenges in //Real Simple Best Recipes//. This is Rachel Ray simple, but with Martha Stewart presentation and elegance.
Here is a compact collection of appetizers, soups, main dishes, and desserts. Some recipes take a healthy approach, such as the Ginger Chicken Soup with Vegetables, while others aim mostly for taste (calorie-counting aside), such as the Croissant and Chocolate Bread Pudding. You'll find dishes that require sprucing up a packaged item, like Potato Pierogi with Sauteed Cabbage and Apples (the pierogi are pre-packaged; the cabbage slaw is homemade). You'll also find made-from-scratch decadence, like Apricot-Coconut Cake.
Although the book works with the utterly simplistic, it doesn't lack for quality or originality. Every color photo reveals a stunning dish, while recipes invoke creativity like Creamy Barley Salad with Apples or Chicken Souvlaki, a Greek-inspired dish served with kalamata olives, yogurt, and fresh dill. The book also offers something that many do not: an entire section devoted to vegetarian main dishes.
If you're looking for easy ways to impress, //Real Simple Best Recipes// won't let you down.
