I am constantly on the lookout for relatively easy meals that use fresh ingredients and don't take a lot of time. Supermarket Healthy by Melissa D'Arabian offers all of that and more. I enjoy her show on Food Network and was excited to check out her second cookbook.
First of all, this book is beautiful. The photos are fresh and appealing, with a photo for nearly every recipe. It is organized into 11 chapters from Breakfast to Dessert. In reading through the book and the descriptions of each item, I get the feeling that she makes most, if not all, of these recipes for her family. I have two young children and know they will love starting a Dutch baby tradition and eating their popcorn flavored with smoky bacon.
Second, D'Arabian has included several "Blueprints" for recipes, such as Salad in a Jar or Make a Melt so the reader can customize their meal depending on their own personal preferences. They offer many familiar and original combinations which readers are sure to try, or at least begin to create combinations of their own.
I really enjoyed reading through this book and am anxious to begin cooking through it.
I received this book from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for this review, but all the opinions are my own.
