Quick from Scratch Soups & Salad Cookbook (Quick From Scratch)

By Food & Wine Magazine

Book Overview

Soups that simmer for minutes, not hours, and salads that know no season: all of these 75 inviting recipes will revolutionize the way you think about this familiar hot-and-cold combo. Soup's on will become everyone's favorite words when you serve up luscious Creamy Asparagus with Mushrooms and Gruyere Croutes. Coconut milk flavors a substantial Brazilian Shrimp soup-and it will keep you coming back for more. Or enjoy Chicken Avogolemo (a Greek specialty), Mexican Pozole, or a hearty Minestrone with White Beans and Italian Sausage. And want a salad that's not just lettuce? Then how about Grilled Scallops over Mixed Green and Herb Salad, or chicken with cucumber and red pepper, tossed in honey mustard dressing? Warm yolks cascade over a Curly Endive Salad with Bacon and Poached Egg, while Mixed Greens with Smoked Ham, Black-Eyed Peas, and Roasted Red Pepper Dressing is a real winner This description may be from another edition of this product.

Every recipe has a picture and a wine pairing, which is a nice little bonus. Each recipe is simple and takes...

I love this book!

I love this book so much, I've purchased one for the camper, the boat, home, and have even given it as gifts. Of all the recipes in it that I've tried, 99% of them are delicious, and need very few (if any) adjustments. The salad section is great for those rough summer days when you're so hot you can't even think, let alone come up with interesting meals. Each dish is simple, and most are colorful and nice enough for guests...
