Böcker av Lauren McDuffie

Creating and enjoying home-cooked food is time well spent, but sometimes we're busy--almost too busy--to be bothered with the task of cooking, with the work of it all. How do we reconcile the impact and importance of providing home-cooked meals with the ever-lurking busyness that threatens to send us dashing to our doors to answer the call of our latest food deliveries? What do we do about this? With this cookbook, McDuffie shares more than 100 recipes that make use of store-bought shortcuts and quick-fix tricks for breakfasts; appetizers and snacks; soups; salads; pastas, grains, and meatless mains; meats and fish, and desserts.

This is a hassle-free, lighter take on Southern cooking that proves the notion less can so often be more. By reimagining beloved Southern classics and viewing them through a more health- and lifestyle-conscious lens, Lauren McDuffie's Southern Lights: Easier, Lighter, and Better-for-You Recipes From the South explores ways to make Southern cooking more accessible without sacrificing flavor or quality. Setting traditionally heavy recipes to a decidedly more healthful tune and showing off some Southern fare that is already light to begin with (the heart of Southern cooking beats for fresh, seasonal produce), this cookbook will give you ways to enjoy your favorite Southern dishes more often. It is bursting with some seriously delicious Southern powerhouses--a true all-star lineup--for breakfasts, lunches, appetizers, snacks, dinners, holiday dishes, desserts, and more.
