Overview

Become more efficient, confident, and creative in the kitchen with this delightful collection of 120 fun and easy weeknight recipes the whole family will enjoy.
 
“[Keepers] may be the best-value weeknight cookbook around.” —The Boston Globe
 
Keeper: A brag-worthy, reliable, crowd-pleasing recipe that you confidently turn to again and again.
 
We all need keepers in our lives, especially when it comes to weeknight meals. Whether you have a family to feed, are a couple stuck in a jarred pasta sauce rut, or are single and in charge of your own kitchen for the first time, weeknight cooking can be challenging. Finding the time and inspiration to put good, healthful, homemade food on the table day after day isn’t easy.
 
Drawing from two decades of trial-and-error in their own kitchens, as well as working alongside savvy chefs and talented home cooks, former Saveur editors Caroline Campion and Kathy Brennan offer 120 appealing, satisfying recipes ideal for weeknight meals. They include classic dishes with options for substitutions, updated old favorites, one-pot meals, “international” dishes, and others that reheat well or can be cooked in individual portions, such as:

Fish Fingers with Lime-Ginger Dipping Sauce
Coconut Chicken Curry
Smoky Turkey Chili
Beef Stroganoff
Asian Pork Sliders with Magic Miso-Mayo
Black Bean and Butternut Squash Enchiladas
Kale Carbonara
One-Bowl Summer Spaghetti
Shrimp Wonton Soup
Roasted Eggplant with Yogurt Sauce
• And much more!

Along with these timeless recipes, Keepers is filled with invaluable tips on meal planning and preparation, all presented in an entertaining, encouraging, and empathetic style. With Keepers, you’ll be able to survive the Monday-to-Friday dinner rush with your sanity—and kitchens—intact, while also having fun along the way!
