"Finding himself at home more during the pandemic and in the hybrid world that followed, James Beard Award-winning author and chef Rocco DiSpirito rediscovered for the first time in decades, the joy of cooking for and savoring weekday meals with his family and friends, something that was not a regular occurrence when he was working in a busy restaurant or as celebrity chef on the go. Of course, as a home cook preparing nightly family meals, Rocco also experienced the fatigue of spending hours planning and cooking every night, rather than sitting at the table enjoying family and friends. That's what inspired this book: a collection of 100 no-fuss weekday meals to help you cook like a chef every night, in about thirty minutes or less. Every recipe is full of flavor and is sure to be a hit with the entire family. Recipes include many of Rocco's favorites from over the years, plus all new dishes, as well as classic Italian dishes from his childhood. There are Pastas, Crudos, Seafood, Chicken and Meats, Salads, and more. Recipes include: Chicken Parmesan, Salmon Miso Marmalade, Spaghetti Carbonara, Hot Chili BBQ Ribs, and more. This book is all about simple ingredients, lots of flavor, and efficient cooking. It's sure to become the essential cookbook for everyday dinners that everyone will love"-- Provided by publisher.
