Cooking with All Things Trader Joe's - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Deana Gunn and Wona Miniati love good food, love to cook, and love Trader Joe s. Over time, they found ourselves wishing that Trader Joe s had a cookbook to go with all their fabulous products. What do you do with quinoa? How do you use tapenade? What goes well with ricotta-stuffed chicken? Before they knew it, they were writing a cookbook. The authors grew up in homes where cooking was all-important and meals were always shared at an inviting family table. Given their international backgrounds, they were exposed to various ethnic and American styles of cooking. They met 18 years ago while studying engineering in Boston, and their exposure to food continued to grow, whether it was the spicy Dun Dun noodles at the local hole-in-the-wall Central Square Chinese restaurant or the amazing paella and sangria in Harvard Square.Their skill at cooking evolved in the real world, as they recalled old family recipes, experimented with new ones, and learned the culinary arts through the school of experience. Through necessity, they found ways to be efficient and fast gourmet cooks, without compromising taste or quality. They wanted good food with great quality ingredients, sophisticated yet fun, eclectic yet accessible by everyone in the family. And they wanted gourmet food for every day, not just special occasions. They drew upon their international backgrounds and lifetime of cooking experience in developing this fun and timely cookbook concept. As busy moms juggling careers and family, they know how to bring exciting food to the table, please the pickiest of eaters, and entertain with finesse - without spending all day in the kitchen.
