Publishers Text

As the star of the enormously popular TV program Iron Chef America, Cat Cora regularly battles the legendary chefs Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, and Masaharu Morimoto to create spectacular meals in record time. So she is used to putting together inspired dishes on a moment's notice. Now the vivacious chef and mom shows how to apply her friendly "go-with-what-you've-got" philosophy to create simple, sensational meals.

Cooking from the Hip showcases more than 100 dishes, divided into convenient categories: FAST (thirty minutes or less), EASY (interruption-proof), FUN (relaxing to prepare with friends), and PHENOMENAL (special dishes for special evenings). Cooks can turn to whichever section suits their needs, whether it be dinner in twenty minutes or a fantastic recipe for a spur-of-the-moment Friday get together.

"Cooking from the hip" means flexibility. It means cutting down steps, combining just a few ingredients in inventive ways, pulling in leftovers, and wowing family and friends in the process.
