Product Description
On the wildly popular show Iron Chef America, Cat Cora uses her instincts to transform random ingredients into exciting creations on a moment's notice. In this book, she turns her eye to some of our most popular dishes to make them faster, fresher, and lighter. These are the swift meals that Cat relies on when she comes home from work to cook for her own family: Greek-Style Nachos, Grilled Chili-Lime Flank Steak Soft Tacos, Crispy Baked Fish Stix with Mustard Dipping Sauce, Quick Chicken Curry with Peas, and Sour-Cherry-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes.

In dishes like Baked "Fried" Calamari with Marinara Dipping Sauce and Tex-Mex Tuna Casserole, Cat puts a new spin on old favorites. She updates others, tossing chipotle-spiced croutons into a Caesar salad, or replacing the usual beef in stroganoff with chicken and adding fresh tarragon. Each recipe illustrates Cat's motto: just because a dish is a classic doesn't mean it can't be improved upon.

I use this cookbook all the time - CityGal410 - Atlanta, GA United States
I have always been intimidated by Cat Cora's cooking, after all she IS an Iron Chef. But after trying out a few of the recipes in this book, I realize that she knows how to write a recipe for a home cook life myself. Every recipe in the book is mouthwatering. Her tomato soup with mini grilled cheese croutons has become a weekly staple in my house. The recipes are loaded with flavors and have influences from many cuisines....Greek, Asian, Italian, Mexican... Her instructions are easy to follow and every recipe I have tried has come out delicious. This is a fantastic cookbook!
