Thus, it contains more recipes for popular dishes from every corner of the world; more recipes for "thirty minutes or less" meals; more recipes for grilling; and tips on turning local farmers' market staples into tasty meals and snacks.\ \ \ \ \ From the Publisher"Reichl amasses one of the most comprehensive cooking resources available...
