Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Baked shrimp with scallions, tomatoes, and feta

    • wester on April 01, 2011

      This was OK. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing terribly special either. I think I know better things to do with the ingredients.

  • Chicken, basil and peanut stir-fry

    • wester on May 31, 2011

      I deconstructed this a bit - I cooked the chicken separately and made a sauce of the other ingredients. I used fish sauce instead of soy sauce, as suggested, and I used a bit less of it as it has a stronger flavor. The result was very tasty, with a subtle Thai-like flavor. I will make this again.

  • Roast salmon with mustard crumbs, fennel, and red peppers

    • wester on December 01, 2010

      Nice. The salmon gets a crunchy crust, and the mustard adds a horseradish-like accent. I thought the fennel and peppers didn't combine that well with the salmon, but my husband liked the combination. But why would you use ready-roast bell peppers as an ingredient in a recipe where you are going to roast the fennel anyway? Just use normal red peppers and put them in a bit earlier. Nothing wrong with roast peppers from a jar, but this is definitely not their place.

Publishers Text

Busy schedules and family demands can make it challenging to create quick, easy - and, at the same time, delicious - meals at home. This one-pot meal cookbook, which features over 125 short, scrumptious recipes, is all about convenience, taste, and presentation with minimum effort and maximum flavor.


Leslie Revsin includes elegant yet unfussy dishes - Spaghetti with Pesto and Grape Tomatoes; Spanish Chicken and Garbanzo Stew; Chicken, Basil, and Peanut Stir-Fry; Roast Jerk Pork with Yams and Watercress; Sliced Steak, Baby Spinach, and Roquefort Salad; and Quick Ham Cassoulet, to name a few - that can be made from readily available supermarket ingredients and are simple in terms of the number of ingredients (no more than ten), number of steps (no more than three), and preparation time. And like every other book in The Simpler The Better series, One-Pot Meals includes quick tips, variations, and clever ideas for serving and dressing up dishes.
