Celebrity chef Curtis Stone knows life can get busy. But as a dad, he also believes that sitting down to a home-cooked meal with family and friends is one of life’s greatest gifts. In his fifth cookbook, he offers both novice cooks and seasoned chefs mouthwatering recipes that don’t rely on fancy, hard-to-find ingredients and special equipment.

• Time-Saving Tuesdays: Quick and easy recipes for simple meals—Steak and Green Bean Stir-Fry with Ginger and Garlic; Grilled Pork Chops and Vegetable Gratin with Caper-Parsley Vinaigrette
• One-Pot Wednesdays: Flavorful dishes with minimal cleanup—Chicken and Chorizo Paella; Rosemary Salt-Crusted Pork Loin with Roasted Shallots, Potatoes, Carrots, and Parsnips
• Thrifty Thursdays: Yummy meals on a budget—Sliders with Red Onion Marmalade and Blue Cheese; Roasted Cauliflower, Broccoli, and Pasta Bake with Cheddar
• Five-Ingredient Fridays: Fun, fast recipes to kick off the weekend—Grilled Harissa Lamb Rack with Summer Succotash; Seared Scallops and Peas with Bacon and Mint
• Dinner Party Saturdays: Extraordinary dishes to share with friends and family—Asian Crab Cakes with Mango Chutney; Mushroom Ragout on Creamy Grits
• Family Supper Sundays: Comforting, slow-simmering food for relaxing around the table—Southern Fried Chicken; Barbecued Spareribs with Apple-Bourbon Barbecue Sauce

Reviews for What's for Dinner?
6 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An excellent cookbook. I was lucky to find a brand new copy of this on a sale table for $5 and this book has paid for itself many times over. With recipes for everyday of the week, under section titles such as "motivating mondays", "time-saving tuesdays", this book delivers delicious, easy recipes that will make you a better cook.
The recipes are well laid out with helpful notes and Curtis adds charming stories/notes from his personal life. Tons of delectable photos, one for each recipe. Among the recipes I have tried, and my favorites so far, are, Potato, Cauliflower, Camembert Gratin with grilled pork chops (so succulent); Grilled Haibut with Asparagus & Melted Leeks (mouth-wateringly yummy!); Asian Crab Cakes (family went ape over these heavenly cakes); and Lobster with Bacon Marmalade (ambrosia!).
The book also has many dessert recipes from simple cookies, cobblers & bread pudding to more complicated delicacies such as the Pear & Cherry Strudel with Amaretto Custard Sauce. This is a book that will stay in my kitchen for quick reference. One that I will continue to consult time and time again. I just can't recommend this cookbook highly enough!
:-) - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Good Stuff Nice addition to have the "Rounding out the Meal' & "Kitchen Note" added to some of the recipes. Extremely helpful Photographs are simple, yet beautiful, and very, very appetizing (Take note publishers of cookbooks - people want to have pictures of every recipe and pictures that focuse on the food not on the artistry of the photographer) Directions are easy to follow Something for everyone - lots of variety Lots of fresh ingredients that are easy to find in any grocery store The recipes are never time consuming or have a lot of steps - most can be made (including cooking time) in under 40 minutes Quite a few child friendly recipes that both the young and old will enjoy Not a bad looking guy (Yup I reviewed this one not Chef Jeff) he could come on over and .... cook for me anytime (Shhh don't tell Chef Jeff or he won't make me omelets any more) I would pretty much be willing to make 90% of the recipes in this cookbook - that doesn't happen very oftenThe Not So Good Stuff Used a lot of post it notes for all the recipes I wanted to make Used Mahi Mahi in a recipe -- a little too close for dolphin for my comfort (I used cod when I made the recipe and it was lovely Addicted to Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Pecans - this is not good for my fitness planFavorite Recipes Grilled Fish Tacos with Pico De Gallo - Pg 16 Chipotle Pork Tacos - Pg 144 (I recommend adding some sour cream to tame the heat a little) Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Pecans - these were to die for my friends - hmm might make some more tomorrow!! Grilled Salmon with Orzo, Feta and Red Wine Vinaigrette (The Orzo side is a now a staple for us - so fresh, healthy and yummy) Grilled Shrimp and Rice Noodle Salad - Pg 23 Oatmeal Coconut Butter Cookies - Pg 264Who Should/Shouldn't Use Good for cooks of any skill level Perfect for those who want to have a healthy, fast & easy to make dinner A must have for the busy parent who wants to have something easy to make, relatively healthy and not time consuming4.95 Dewey's (loses .5 because the book is hard to keep open when you are trying to prepare a recipe)I received this from Random House in Exchange for an honest review
