Like many home cooks, I'm always looking for new recipes and cookbooks that will elevate the quality of the meals I cook. The trouble is I want great food without having to buy a ton of ingredients or spending hours in the kitchen. I know, I should just stop being lazy and
encourage my inner chef, but after cooking over 10 recipes from Rozanne
Gold's new book, Radically Simple, I think I've found what I've been looking for. Though she's
new to me, apparently Gold has been around and acclaimed for quite some
time, mostly for her 1-2-3 cookbook series that delivers delicious
recipes simply and with only a few, usually three, fresh ingredients.
She continues that model here, but takes it up a notch on the sophistication scale. The point in this book isn't just to use a minimum of ingredients, but to get the best results with the necessary ones with as little work as possible.
