In her world, it''s impossible to make a mistake. This is Live, Laugh, Love cooking at its finest!" --Dan "Grossy" Pelosi, New York Times bestselling author of Let''s Eat "I wish I could say I''m shocked by the fact that I flipped through the recipes in this book and thought, Yeah I''d make that.
And that, too. And oh, I have everything I need at home for that, and omg my kids will love me if I make that for them. But as a longtime fan of Caroline Chambers, I am extremely (luckily) familiar with her genius knack for knowing exactly what the busy modern cook needs. This collection of keepers is going on the most reachable shelf in my kitchen. --Jenny Rosenstrach, New York Times bestselling author of Dinner: A Love Story "If you''re anything like me (and the rest of this country), inspiration doesn''t strike every night when it comes time to cook dinner.
