No time for dinner? Enjoying a home-cooked meal may be easier than you think, thanks to Cooking with 5 Ingredients, a cookbook by Dallas publishing company Cookbook Resources (www. CookbookResources. com ).
Cooking with 5 Ingredients contains more than 500 recipes, each with 5 ingredients or less and prepared in three easy steps. Dishes like Butter Mint Salad, Unbelievable Crab Dip, Chicken Marseilles and Sunny Lime Pie call for everyday ingredients, the kind you already have in your pantry. No gourmet foods or special preparation is needed for these terrific tasting dishes.
“This cookbook recognizes that the family meal is different today than it was 20 years ago,” said Sheryn Jones, Cookbook Resources president. “Working moms and dads no longer have time to spend hours in the kitchen. They need quick, great-tasting recipes that can be on the table in minutes.”
Cooking with 5 Ingredients offers simple main dish recipes for chicken, beef, pork and seafood, plus ideas for using leftover holiday meats like turkey and ham.
Other sections include Appetizers (Cheese Straws, No-Fuss Meatballs), Beverages (Lemonade Tea, KidsÂ’ Cherry Sparkler), Breads (Sour Cream Biscuits, Quick Pumpkin Bread) and Brunch and Breakfast (Light and Crispy Waffles, Blueberry Coffee Cake).
Soups, Salads and Sandwiches (Cold Cucumber Soup, Spinach and Apple Salad, Meatball Hoagies), Vegetables and Side Dishes (Almond Green Beans, Sweet Potato Wedges) and Desserts (Chocolate Cherry Cake, Peanut Butter Fudge, Apricot Cobbler).
Cooking with 5 Ingredients is part of Cookbook Resources’ “Cooking by the Numbers” series designed to help busy families enjoy meals together. Other books in the series include The Ultimate Cooking with 4 Ingredients, Best of Cooking with 3 Ingredients, Easy Healthy Cooking with 4 Ingredients and Easy Gourmet-Style Cooking with 5 Ingredients.
“Families who sit around the dinner table every night and talk are rare these days,” Jones said. “We believe that the family meal is precious and should be preserved. If we make the food preparation easy, then families will be more likely to eat together on a regular basis and spend quality time together.”
Cooking with 5 Ingredients and other Cookbook Resources books are available online at www. CookbookResources. com and www. Amazon. com or by calling toll-free (866) 229-2665. The website also features printable recipes, recipe contests, stories and more.
