You Got This!: Recipes Anyone Can Make and Everyone Will Love (A Cookbook)

by Diane Morrisey

Overview

“I’m thrilled that Diane Morrisey’s recipes are accessible in this gorgeous book. Now we can all bring our families together, Diane Morrisey style, over a giant platter of deliciousness.” —Gwyneth Paltrow

In these 100, simple recipes Diane Morrisey shows how anyone—whether you’re a new or seasoned cook—can pull together a meal in a cinch using ingredients that are already in your pantry and are designed for carnivores, pescatarians, and vegetarians alike.

Whatever kind of cook you are (or aren’t!), we all need less pretense and more ideas—and that’s just what Diane has in delicious abundance.

A self-taught home-cook with six mostly grown kids, Diane redefines easy cooking: In her hands, it’s quick cheesy numbers such as Sheet Pan Lasagna and soul-satisfying lighter fare like Seared Salmon with Orange Avocado Salad. It’s veg-forward dishes including Roasted Cauliflower Curry and Sesame Green Beans with Crispy Tofu. It’s Ginger Pork Vermicelli, and other meals in bowls. Sometimes dinner isn’t about a whole shebang, but rather something that’s dinner-ish. That’s when Diane makes Butter Chicken Calzones that lean into store-bought pizza dough or White Bean and Garlic Dip to serve alongside fresh veggies and leftovers.

A former caterer Diane knows what people want to eat—and what they can cook in the short window most of us have to get dinner on the table. With plenty of ideas for carnivores, pescatarians, and vegetarians, Diane’s recipes and approach to cooking break—and make—the rules because they employ brilliant use of what’s on hand, snacking for dinner, versatility, and mixing all kinds of global flavors.

With gorgeous four-color photography throughout and tips on every page, You Got This! will empower those who are new to cooking and inspire anyone stuck in a “what to cook” rut.
