On the wildly
popular show Iron
Chef America, Cat Cora uses her instincts to transform random
ingredients into exciting creations on a moment's notice. In this book,
she turns her eye to some of our most popular dishes to make them
faster, fresher, and lighter.
|
These are the swift meals that
Cat relies on when she comes home from work to cook for her own family:
Greek-Style
Nachos, Grilled Chili-Lime Flank Steak Soft Tacos, Crispy
Baked Fish Stix with Mustard Dipping Sauce, Quick Chicken Curry with
Peas, and Sour Cherry Filled Chocolate Cupcakes. |
In dishes like Baked "Fried"
Calamari with Marinara Dipping Sauce and Tex-Mex Tuna Casserole, Cat
puts a new spin on old favorites. She updates others, tossing
chipotle-spiced croutons into a Caesar salad, or replacing the usual
beef in stroganoff with chicken and adding fresh tarragon. Each recipe
illustrates Cat's motto: just because a dish is a classic doesn't mean
it can't be improved upon..
