Review:
For the busy people
out there who want something better than Spaghetti and Lipton rice packets
comes Same the Cooking Guy to help us learn how to cook on the fly.
In Sam the
Cooking Guy: Awesome Recipes & Kitchen Shortcuts, Sam Zien re-teaches us how
to think about frozen foods, leftovers, and saving time in the kitchen,
while eating good, fun, palate-pleasing food.
Many recipes in
this book only call for 5 or less ingredients, which are simple and
affordable. However, the end result is amazing. For
instance, do you think Pesto, Shrimp, and White Bean Soup will take all day
to make? Think again. This recipe takes just 10-15 minutes to
prepare and calls for only 4 ingredients!
Forget the prep
work and order this cookbook. You are sure to learn a few things and
who knows, your quality of life might even improve a little.

From the Publisher:
Fast, simple,
and really great meals for real people-from Sam the
Cooking Guy
On his popular
television show, Sam Zien shows regular people how to
make great meals that are long on taste and short on
effort. Sam might not be Michelin rated, but his
refreshing approach to cooking with basic ingredients,
simple techniques, and equipment almost everyone has at
hand makes cooking simple, fun, and satisfying. There's
no foie gras, truffle oil, or papillote involved and it
doesn't matter if you can't spell "hors d'oeuvre." There
are no fancy techniques or rare ingredients here, just
great tasting food that anyone can make.
Awesome
Recipes and Kitchen Shortcuts makes it even easier
with simple tricks for preparing great meals on the fly.
Turn a roast chicken from the corner deli into a fake
pulled pork sandwich. Keep pre-cooked pasta in the
freezer and bust out a tub of pre-made pesto for an
instant Italian meal.
- Packed with
simple cooking shortcuts that make great-tasting
food simple-turn leftover roast beef into Shepherd's
Pie or last night's French fries into this morning's
Breakfast Burrito

Tuna, Sam's Mexican Meatloaf, Blue Cheese Gnocchi
