One-Pot Cooking for Two by Linda Kurniadi, Rockridge Press, 161 pages


Just as the first chapter title says One-Pot, Two Plates, Three Meals a Day makes this cookbook an everyday favorite. Linda Kurniadi shares her suggestions for needed cooking equipment and kitchen staples.
Kurniadi added a section on the Dirty Dozen and the Clean Fifteen that lists the small amount of genetically modified fruits and vegetables with pesticides such as sweet corn, papaya, and summer squash.  Also, included in this cookbook is a Measurement Conversion Chart that is very helpful for those of us who need a little help in converting from ounces to millimeters. The only drawback, no pictures of the meals you are creating to compare with the final preparation.

Now, let us get to the meat and potatoes of the cookbook. Here are the recipes I always share that I will eventually prepare for my palette:

Breakfast and Brunch: Potato-Leek Frittata
Sausage Stuffed Avocado Boats
Soups and Salads: Italian Meatball Soup
Thai Chicken Salad
Vegetable Mains: Broccoli and Sweet Potato Sheet Pan Dinner
Rainbow Vegetable Skillet
Seafood: Honey Garlic Glazed Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
   Lemon and Parsley Fried Fish
(Not really a seafood foodie, but occasionally)
Poultry: Baked Stuffed Chicken Saltimbocca
Mediterranean One-Pot Chicken and Rice
Meat: Sloppy Joe Potatoes
Lamb Kebabs with Israeli Salad
Snacks and Sides: Garlic-Herb Pinwheels
Dijon Potato Salad

I recommend this book for all cooks who sometimes want to prepare a much simpler meal with less time. I received this book through Callisto Publishers in exchange for an honest review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission Guidelines.
