For the first time, bestselling author and beloved Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis tackles weeknight cooking with recipes that come together quickly--all in her signature fresh style.
As Jade grows up and schedules get busier, Giada has developed fantastic go-to recipes to get a delicious meal on the table in a flash. Here is Giada at her most inventive--and at her most laid back. Flavor, freshness, and fun take center stage while cooking times, pots dirtied, and stress are kept to a minimum. All of the soups, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, meat, and fish dishes come together quickly, most in half an hour or less. If you have eggs on hand but not much else, you can still pull together a great meal with the Breakfast for Dinner chapter. Leftovers are reinvented into healthy yet hearty main-course salads such as Roasted Salmon, Snap Pea, and Cucumber Salad and Chicken, Bibb and Arugula Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette. While Giada's recipes remain predominantly Italian, some California-global influences sneak in, as they do on her show, including Spicy Mint Beef and Thai Turkey Lettuce Wraps. Even desserts are quick to mix and bake, should a weeknight craving--or a last-minute school bake sale--strike.
Where Giada at Home gave readers a peek into Giada's home life--with shots of her and Jade making pasta, and Todd helping Giada at the stove--Weeknights with Giada is an even more intimate look into her day-to-day family life. Chock-full of gorgeous color photos, Weeknights with Giada will be a new favorite for longtime fans--and a new kind of handbook for home cooks everywhere.
this is the only recipe book I have ever bought that the recipe's taste good and do not need any doctoring. I can't rave enough about her recipe's.

There are some great recipe ideas in this book that will definately make weeknights easier. The recipes are simple but yet sound delicious. I recognize alot of them from her show on Food Network. I never miss it. I also felt the pictures were a warm, wonderful touch that make the cookbook more inviting. I am getting ready to make dinner and as I flip through this book I wonder which recipe I will choose.....

We share recipes and are always pleased with any of Giada's choices. This was also a great buy and shipped very quickly.

0 of 0 users found this helpful. Was it helpful to you? Yes | No Report Violation »I Love Giada and have always enjoying watching any show that she was a part of and I watch her cooking shows almost daily so I was so excited about ordering her cookbook. But once I recieved it, I have to admit, I was so disappointed. The recipes in this particular cookbook of hers are not the same recipes that I am used to seeing on her shows. I did love seeing all the pictures of her and her family in the book. She has such a lovely family. I just wished her recipes in this cookbook were more down to earth and were more like what I am used to seeing on her cooking shows. I will continue to watch Giada. And I am going to try some of her other cook books.
