NO RECIPE? NO PROBLEM!

Cook anything without a recipe? Just let the ingredients lead the way! Author Phyllis Good of Fix-It and Forget-It fame and her circle of friends who love to cook are here to help. No Recipe? No Problem! offers tips, tricks, and inspiration for winging it in the kitchen. Each chapter provides practical kitchen and cooking advice, from an overview of essential tools and pantry items to keep on hand to combining flavors and finding good substitute ingredients, whether it's sheet pan chicken, vegetables, pasta, grain bowls, or pizza for tonight's dinner.

Freestyle Cooking charts provide scaffolding for building a finished dish from what cooks have available; Kitchen Cheat Sheets lend guidance on preparing meats, vegetables, and grains with correct cooking times and temperatures; and stories from Good's Cooking Circle offer personal experiences and techniques for successfully improvising for delicious results, such as how to combine flavors that work well together or how to use acid to draw out the sweetness in unripened fruit. Like being in the kitchen with a trusted friend or family member who delivers valuable information in a friendly, encouraging way, this book will inspire readers to pull ingredients together, dream up a dish, stir in a bit of imagination, and make something delicious take shape.
