Dinner: Changing the Game

New York Times food columnist, web star, and our generation’s authority on upping your dinner game without fuss, Melissa Clark revolutionizes dinner with 245 never-before-published recipes for quick, flavor-forward dishes in this beautifully photographed and exceptionally packaged cookbook.

Dinner will change the way Americans cook. Like Joy of Cooking and How to Cook Everything before it, Dinner, with its abundance of recipes and stunning photographs by Eric Wolfinger, will become the definitive guide for anyone who craves great weeknight food. As one of America’s most popular food journalists, Melissa innovates recipes that are as impeccably tested as Ina Garten’s, totally of-the-moment with their inspired flavor combinations and textures, and practical because they use only fast and basic cooking techniques. In the never-before-published recipes, Melissa introduces that little something—charred lemon, a pinch of horseradish, a dollop of chile paste. Readers learn about flavor combinations, textures, and substitutions, and they can apply that information to cooking any weeknight meal with ease and skill. There is nothing routine about Dinner.
