Big Bites: Time to Eat!: Nourishing Family Recipes That Cook in an Hour or Less; A Cookbook
A collection of 100 quick and easy but still nourishing recipes that don’t sacrifice on flavor and will be on the table in under an hour, from the author of the New York Times bestselling cookbook Big Bites.

“Playing small is out. Living big is in. Kat brings us flavorful, satisfying meals to fuel full days and bold goals.”—Melissa Urban, co-founder and CEO of Whole 30

“I’m so excited to cook again with Kat!”—Katie Couric

Kat Ashmore’s mission is to empower hungry readers everywhere to feed themselves and their loved ones well and have fun doing it. Rather than focusing on restriction or deprivation, she asks: What can we add to our plates? After the success of Kat's first cookbook, Big Bites, Kat noticed that the recipes home cooks were making most all had one thing in common: they didn’t take long to cook. For her next book she decided to focus on even more great-tasting recipes that don’t require strenuous prep work or hours in the oven, recipes you could make as easily on a hectic Tuesday night as you could on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Time to Eat is about simple, comforting recipes that feel familiar yet unique and envision “healthy food” in a whole new way. Think Chicken Pepperoncini Piccata as a new Friday family dinner go-to, Roasted Mushroom Meatballs that will have your kids asking for second helpings of mushrooms, the Miso Sesame Kale Salad you meal prep on Sunday to provide lunches all week, and the Glazed Cinnamon Company Cake you bake all winter long for friends and family. It’s food that is abundant in colors, textures, nourishment, and flavor. Big bites of big food that are salty, chewy, crunchy, sweet, creamy, and full of personality. And best of all? These meals are on the table in under an hour.
