Additional Details

Description: Today, pressed for time and conscious of the role diet plays in good health, we want the food we cook at home to be quick and easy to make, light on the palate and the waistline, and as sophisticated and attractive as the dishes we enjoy when we dine out. 

So says Chuck Williams, founder of the Williams-Sonoma cookware stores and catalog. And that's the goal he achieves in Simple American Cooking, a collection of his favorite recipes -- 60 in all -- for "good American food, simply prepared to today's standards." White Bean Soup. Parmesan Cheese Bread. Roast Chicken with Apple and Sage. Broiled Swordfish Steaks with Basil, Olive Oil and Capers. Corned Beef Hash with Poached Eggs. Jasmine, Rice with Shredded Zucchini. Corn and Green Beans, Circa 1935. Apricot Bread-and-Butter Custard. Mixed Berry Shortcake. Nothing could be easier to cook -- or more delicious and satisfying. And every recipe is shown in a full-page, full-color photograph. 

Throughout this beautifully illustrated book, Mr. Williams shares a wealth of ,handy kitchen tips he has gathered during a lifetime of cooking, along with inspiring ideas for varying each recipe. Also featured are sample menus and illustrated guides to kitchen equipment and basic cooking techniques.
