For the first time, Giada tackles weeknight cooking, sharing her favorite tips and go-to dishes--all in her vibrant signature style--to get a delicious meal on the table in a flash. <p/>After a full day, Giada, like most parents, wants nothing more than to sit down for a home-cooked dinner with her husband, Todd, and their daughter, Jade. <i>Weeknights with Giada </i>rises to the challenge, delivering soups, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, and meat and fish dishes that come together quickly as stand-alone main courses--most in half an hour or less: Rustic Vegetable and Polenta Soup, a hearty soul-warming one-pot dish, cooks in under twenty minutes; Lemony White Bean, Tuna, and Arugula Salad is a great meal that's quickly assembled from pantry and fridge essentials; Spicy Linguini with Clams and Mussels is a fifteen-minute-or-less spectacular pasta; and you can't beat Grilled Sirloin Steaks with Pepper and Caper Salsa, which are also ready in just fifteen minutes. From inventive breakfast-for-dinner dishes and meatless Monday vegetarian recipes--both weekly traditions in Giada's house--to picnic sandwiches and hearty salad recipes for reinventing leftovers, <i>Weeknights with Giada</i> reveals every secret in her repertoire. Even the desserts are quick to mix and bake, should a craving--or a last-minute school bake sale--strike. <p/>Here is Giada at her most inventive--and at her most laid-back. Flavor, freshness, and fun take center stage while cooking times, pots dirtied, and stress are kept to a minimum. With gorgeous color photographs and intimate home snapshots of Giada and her family, <i>Weeknights with Giada</i> is a welcome handbook of fantastic recipes and surefire Monday-to-Friday strategies for every home cook. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> De Laurentiis delivers on her promise--the book is full of quick, easy dishes that follow her formula--simple and pleasing.<br>--Publisher's Weekly <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> GIADA DE LAURENTIIS is the star of Food Network's <i>Everyday Italian </i>and<i> Giada at Home, </i> a judge on <i>Food Network Star</i>, <i> </i>a contributing correspondent for NBC's <i>Today </i>show, and the author of five <i>New York Times</i> bestselling cookbooks.
