Dinner In One, Hardcover Book, By: Melissa Clark

Melissa clark brings her home cook's expertise and no-fuss approach to the world of one-pot/pan cooking. With nearly all of the recipes being made in under one hour, the streamlined steps ensure you are in and out of the kitchen without dirtying a multitude of pans or spending more time than you need to on dinner. Expect to find a bevy of sheet-pan suppers (miso-glazed salmon with roasted sugar snap peas), skillet dinners (cheesy meatball parm with spinach), instant pot pinch hitters (cheaters chicken and dumplings), comforting casseroles (herby artichoke and gruyere bread pudding) that you can assemble right in the baking dish, crowd-pleasing one-pot pasta meals (gingery coconut noodles with shrimp and greens), vegetable-forward mains, and dozens of tips for turning a vegetarian or meat-based recipe vegan. And since no dinner is complete without dessert, you'll find a chapter of one-bowl cakes, too-from an easy chocolate fudge torte to a ricotta-olive oil pound cake. These are simple, delicious recipes for weekdays, busy evenings, and any time you need to get a delicious, inspiring meal on the table quickly-with as little clean-up as possible.
