Fresh, Flavor, Fast on Today
Thursday, on the Today show, I was so pleased to demonstrate some wonderful recipes from our latest cookbook, Everyday Food: Fresh, Flavor, Fast. Since its recent release, this book, which happens to be my seventieth, has been very well received. It was designed and written for the way we cook and eat now - a lighter fare with fewer ingredients, but with tasty and nutritious results. I think you will agree that Fresh, Flavor, Fast, a collection of 250 recipes for easy, delicious meals all day long, is a useful and practical addition to your library. It also makes a great gift.
