Simply Sauté: Fast, Easy, and Healthy Italian Cooking -- All in One Pan

... Show More
Would you cook great Italian food every day if it didn't mean spending hours in the kitchen preparing it? Chef-restaurateur Silvia Bianco shows how to whip up exciting Italian meals in a single skillet in forty minutes or less using the saute method of cooking that professional chefs use to get delicious food on the table fast. With a foreword by noted New York chef Bobby Flay, and 16 pages of color photographs and drawings, Bianco walks readers through basic saute techniques and shows how to make the easy-to-prepare (and freeze) stock sauces and broths that are the key to creating saute magic. Saute appetizers, pizza, poultry, meat, seafood, and desserts are each covered in its own chapter, and Bianco offers more than fifteen low-fat saute recipes. Each of the nearly one hundred recipes reflects Bianco's very personal cooking style, first developed as a young child in her grandmother's kitchen in Calabria, Italy. Simply Saute will appeal to today's busy cooks who are looking for new ways to prepare meals simply, as well as those looking to create a restaurant experience at home without a lot of fuss.
