Notes about Recipes in this book

  • No-work salmon chowder

    • Karen_S. on March 07, 2022

      Super quick and easy, and yummy to boot. I might use more liquid next time, it was pretty thick.

  • Corn plus corn

    • nikkichic on December 24, 2020

      This is so much better than it sounds - great to make after coming home from a long day. My favorite chapter in the book is the Pure Pantry

  • Tomato and garlic-flavored chick-peas

    • RuthGo on March 14, 2015

      This is my go to meal when I'm tired and hungry and don't feel like standing and cutting stuff up. I put in extra sauce and put it over pasta. A long time favorite.

  • Three bean stew with vegetables

    • jaelsne on August 09, 2012

      This was an easy and delicious recipe. I served it over brown rice for a filling meal. Next time I would add less vinegar to begin with, and check for flavor. We added sriracha sauce at the table for a bit of a kick.

  • Eggs over beans

    • jaelsne on February 12, 2013

      Very easy and tasty dish. Great for a night when you just don't feel like cooking. Tastes MUCH better than it looks! I think it would be bland without the optional chilis.

Publishers Text

Winner of a James Beard award, The Monday-To-Friday Cookbook is the cookbook for working people. A professional chef and "excellent teacher" (New York Times) who faces the same problem we all face in coming home to feed her family, Michele Urvater has developed an inspired system of weeknight cuisine that really works. It provides a complete blueprint: pantry, equipment, techniques, dining strategies-and over 300 superb recipes. And special skills are definitely not required.

First, no more Mother Hubbard syndrome. A manageable list of basic ingredients-pastas, grains, canned fish, vegetables, and more-creates the foundation, and emergency pantry-only recipes mean you'll always have dinner in the house. Learn how to build meals around a focus, from the season's first asparagus to family members home at different times. And recycle-the roast you prepare on Sunday will help dress pasta on Tuesday.

Then there are the recipes themselves: delicious, undemanding, nutritious, and economical dishes that allow for the utmost adaptability. Salmon Chowder. Pasta with Tuna and Black Olives. Twelve versions of sauteed chicken breasts. Gingered Lamb Stew. Seafood Risotto with Greens. Instant Chocolate and Whipped Cream Cake.

With menu planner, glossary of techniques, professional tips throughout, clean-up hints, and Monday to Friday appendices-including the best recipes for children, entertaining, singles, and for cooking in 30 minutes or less, The Monday-To-Friday Cookbook is indispensable. Michele Urvater is also the host of her own TV series on The Television Food Network.
