Country Living One-Dish Country Suppers
Author: The Editors of Country Living
Home cooks love one-dish dinners because they offer easy preparation and quick cleanup. Country Living collects their favorite versions of these delicious and comforting meals—which include skillet suppers, soups, stews, and more—in one great volume. They’re ideal for family suppers, potluck get-togethers, or casual entertaining. Simple yet more sophisticated and international in scope than most one-pot cookbooks, the recipes here range from an incredibly tender Garlic-Rosemary Chicken ladled with vegetables and broth to hearty Mexican Beans, Rice, and Sausage with tortillas on the side. Other mouthwatering selections include an autumnal Pumpkin and Chicken Chowder, flavored with ground cumin and oregano; Wild Salmon and Potato Casserole with Citrus-Herb Vinaigrette; Spicy Korean-style Shortribs; and, for vegetarians, Gorgonzola-Buttermilk Pasta with Arugula. Every recipe includes nutritional information, and smart tips throughout to ensure success.

Those looking to get some use out of their Dutch ovens and stockpots, seek no further: virtually all of this book's rich, hearty, family-style recipes call for one or the other. Though there are a few exotic dishes (Monkfish Stew with Saffron and Cream, Roast Chicken with Preserved Lemons) scattered throughout, the Country Living staff favor the familiar: beef stew, chicken pot pie and 11 kinds of chili are the orders of the day. Cooks won't find themselves with a sink full of dirty pots, pans and bowls after preparing these dishes, but lengthy cooking times mean they won't find too many recipes that can be whipped up on a whim, either. That said, those with the proper equipment and a taste for comfort food will find this a useful resource.
