Marion Cunningham, author of the Fannie Farmer Cookbook, weaves 150 recipes through eleven seductive chapters, such as Soup for Supper, a Bowlful of Salad, Thank Goodness for Chicken and Extras That Make a Meal. She reveals the secrets of relaxed and efficient home cooking and stresses the importance of thinking ahead. The side dishes she recommends are simple and are coordinated with the timing of the main dish. Often she gives a recipe in which everything is cooked together: a chicken is roasted along with onions, carrots, and potatoes, so everything is ready at once. This simple to read book is a great learning tool for anyone just beginning to cook.

As experienced pastry chef Jill O'Connor writes, there is one pastry dough that is easy to use, versatile, and accessible to every cook: phyllo.

Phyllos uses are numerous, varied and delicious! In this new book, O'Connor presents more than forty easy-to-prepare, sumptuous recipes perfect for a grand social event, a simple rustic dinner, and everything in between. The recipes in Phyllo include such mouthwatering appetizers and entrees as Pork and Pepper Jack Quesadillas; Pear, Gorgonzola, and Toasted Walnut Strudel, and Fresh Blackberry Tart with Creme Fraiche Ice Cream. With this useful guide to working with phyllo, suggestions for reducing fat, and convenient tips on preparing dishes ahead of time, O'Connor's book is a delightful homage to this most versatile of pastries.
