Description
130 easy-to-make meals for every night of the week, from the host of FOX’s My Kitchen Rules
 
Celebrity chef Curtis Stone knows life can get busy. But as a dad, he also believes that sitting down to a home-cooked meal with family and friends is one of life’s greatest gifts. In his fifth cookbook, he offers both novice cooks and seasoned chefs mouthwatering recipes that don’t rely on fancy, hard-to-find ingredients and special equipment. And he breaks them down into seven simple categories:
 
• Motivating Mondays: Healthy meals that start the week off right—Fennel-Roasted Chicken and Winter Squash with Endive-Apple Salad; Grilled Shrimp and Rice Noodle Salad
• Time-Saving Tuesdays: Quick and easy recipes for simple meals—Steak and Green Bean Stir-Fry with Ginger and Garlic; Grilled Pork Chops and Vegetable Gratin with Caper-Parsley Vinaigrette
• One-Pot Wednesdays: Flavorful dishes with minimal cleanup—Chicken and Chorizo Paella; Rosemary Salt-Crusted Pork Loin with Roasted Shallots, Potatoes, Carrots, and Parsnips
• Thrifty Thursdays: Yummy meals on a budget—Sliders with Red Onion Marmalade and Blue Cheese; Roasted Cauliflower, Broccoli, and Pasta Bake with Cheddar
• Five-Ingredient Fridays: Fun, fast recipes to kick off the weekend—Grilled Harissa Lamb Rack with Summer Succotash; Seared Scallops and Peas with Bacon and Mint
• Dinner Party Saturdays: Extraordinary dishes to share with friends and family—Asian Crab Cakes with Mango Chutney; Mushroom Ragout on Creamy Grits
• Family Supper Sundays: Comforting, slow-simmering food for relaxing around the table—Southern Fried Chicken; Barbecued Spareribs with Apple-Bourbon Barbecue Sauce
 
And don’t forget sweet treats such as Peach and Almond Cobbler and Olive Oil Cake with Strawberry-Rhubarb Compote. Loaded with enticing photos, What’s for Dinner? will inspire you and bring confidence to your kitchen and happiness to your table.

Born in Melbourne, Australia, Curtis first found his passion for food while watching his grandmother, Maude, make her legendary fudge. After completing culinary school, he took a job at the Savoy Hotel in Melbourne before heading to London, where he honed his skills under legendary three-star Michelin genius, Marco Pierre White. While living in London, Curtis appeared in several U.K. cooking shows before catching the eye of television producers in Australia and the United States.

        May 15, 2013
        Television celebrity chef Stone has compiled a book of recipes covering each night of the week. Monday kicks off with healthy dishes based on chicken and fish. Wednesday brings one-pot meals out of the kitchen. By Friday, recipes limit themselves to just five ingredients, yielding a simple homemade pizza or spaghetti with lemon, garlic, pine nuts, and kale. Saturday nights mean entertaining, so Stone celebrates with grilled lobster and bacon marmalade. The chef's family Sunday-supper menus feature impressive dishes, such as steak and mushroom cobbler topped with cheese biscuits. Recipes traverse all sorts of culinary traditions. From Mexico, a roast chicken stews in tomatillos for a lovely green filling for tacos. Stone makes chicken French with fennel-spiked white beans in a rudimentary sort of cassoulet. America's South contributes a long-cooked and satisfying mess of pork and greens. Cooks looking for new ideas will find plenty to inspire here.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
