For home cooks who care about what they feed their families and want to stretch their dollars, this eagerly awaited debut cookbook from Melissa d’Arabian, host of Food Network's Ten Dollar Dinners and winner of The Next Food Network Star, makes good on the $10 promise of dinner for four.
With four young girls ages six and under, and a hit show on Food Network, Melissa d'Arabian focuses on savvy budgeting, efficient shopping, and full-flavored cooking. Ten Dollar Dinners has 140 recipes and more than 100 creative, practical tips on great money-savers (“Clear-Your-Pantry Week”); inventive takes on old standby dinners (try her Moroccan Meatloaf); and how to get ingredients to last longer (keep your green onions in a glass of water and they will re-grow several times over!). And with a coding system to help you create your own $10 menu, Ten Dollar Dinners celebrates spending with purpose, cooking with love, minimizing time spent in front of the stove, and savoring your homemade meal.
Melissa is a pro at creating satisfying meals that adults and kids alike will enjoy, using everyday ingredients, transforming them into delicious dinners: Her Potato Bacon Torte (which, at 50 cents a serving, was one of her winning recipes on The Next Food Network Star) shows how basic and inexpensive grocery store ingredients can be turned into an amazingly satisfying dish. Her Roasted Vegetable Tian is a great way to take advantage of deals in the produce aisle. The 4-Step Chicken offers a plan for getting food on the table in just minutes, using almost anything in the pantry.
Anyone can use this book, especially those who want to save money and feel great about cooking sensibly for elevated, simple meals that are healthy family-pleasers.
On her daytime cooking series, season five winner of The Next Food Network Star and stay-at-home mom, Melissa d'Arabian, shows viewers how to incorporate creative and tasty meals into their budgets by sharing her tried-and-true recipes. With countless tips to save time and money in the kitchen, she keeps her $10 promise in every episode: four people, ten bucks, infinite possibilities. From approachable Parisian and Moroccan menus to sophisticated upgrades for everyday chicken and pork, Ten Dollar Dinners with Melissa d'Arabian demonstrates home cooking at its finest.

Simple & Easy
by Sharyn, NV

Melissa makes cooking as simple as it looks. I've been cooking for 50 years and she still manages to teach me something new. I've tried several recipes from this book and have found them to be inexpensive, easy to make and full of flavor. She knows how to stretch a dollar and still make it worth the time and effort.

I watch Melissa a lot and I love the cookbook. Have tried several recipes and have learned about a new ingredient (for me) quinoa. My son is a vegetarian and the lentil quinoa salad is the best. She has good tips and is practical. However, her supermarket seems to have more managers specials that mine does.

Author is true expert at creating and preparing high quality, tasty meals for $10 or less. Recipes are easy to follow for all cooks willing to follow simple, clear directions without making changes which destroy the integrity of the outcome. Cannot wait for another volume by Melissa!

Love her approach - economy with delicious choices that make dining at home really gratifying. Plenty of dishes for special occasions, and plenty for comfort foods. Her approach to finding best priced foods, as well as readying your refrigerator and freezer for special menus is tops!

I bought 3! One for me, one for my daughter and one for a new bride. My daughter has made the Phad Thai 3 times and raved about it. I plan to give this book as a Bridal Shower gift along with Melissa's "pantry staples" to get a new couple off to a good start both financially and taste-wise. Melissa is delightful!

We've been fans of Melissa and her food since she appeared on Next Food Network Star, so I had high hopes for her first cookbook. I'm delighted to say that it does not disappoint. In addition to recipes, it has some excellent money-saving tips. We've had it a week and have already used four recipes for dinner. Every one was quick, easy & delicious. Can't wait to cook some more.
