Quick and Easy Wholesome Homemade Dinners
By Beth Hensperger
Not Your Mother’s®  Weeknight Cooking

Beth Hensperger may be the best-selling author of the three Not Your Mother’s® slow cooker cookbooks, but the recipes in Not Your Mother’s Weeknight Cooking are anything but slow. This book includes 150 recipes for simple, delicious meals designed for busy home cooks who want to put a hearty dinner on the table quickly. Dinnertime classics are here, like Chicken Piccata, Ravioli with Quick Tomato Basil Sauce, and Cobb Salad, as well as new recipes that are sure to become favorites, such as Sake Swordfish with Asian Greens, Lamb Curry with Apples and Apricots, and Portobello Mushroom Sandwiches with Cranberry Dijon Mustard. With such a wide variety of easy recipes to choose from, busy cooks can spend less time preparing meals and more time enjoying them.

In addition to the recipes, Hensperger includes an introduction loaded with simple, practical tips on how to save time in the kitchen, from keeping the right tools on hand to which cooking methods are most efficient. A 16-page insert of color photographs shows just how irresistible these weeknight dinners can be. Best of all, these dishes rely on the wholesome ingredients and fresh flavors that make the Not Your Mother’s® books so popular, and most take no more than 45 minutes to prepare, from start to finish.
