Delicious Tonight: Foolproof Recipes for 150+ Easy Dinners
Delicious Tonight: Foolproof Recipes for 150+ Easy Dinners | Nagi Maehashi
2 posts | 1 to read
Global best-selling home cook Nagi Maehashi is back to solve the perennial problem of what’s for dinner tonight . . . and every night. Following her debut New York Times best-selling cookbook, Dinner, Nagi brings us more than 150 brand-new, fully Americanized recipes, 800 variations on those recipes, and 3,000 possible combinations that mix and match ingredients (including her world-famous Charlie Sauce). There are crave-worthy crowd-pleasers—try slow-baked Italian meatballs in a rich tomato sauce with bubbling melted cheese or fall-apart Asian chicken cooked in a sticky-sweet soy glaze. Some dinners can be cooked in 20 minutes, and others can be made using only pantry staples. For high-impact guest-impressing, turn to Sunday suppers—the Vietnamese pulled pork is a festival of flavor—while the sweet chapter delivers on the promise of maximum decadence. With stunning photos and links for how-to videos for each recipe—and plenty of guest appearances from Nagi’s beloved golden retriever, Dozer!—this is a book for every home kitchen, for every level of cooking ability, for every budget, for every set of taste buds, and for every single night of the week.

Another recipe with a pretty serious filter on the example photo. Even with Litsy‘s food filter, this soup is way more brown than gold. Maybe Australian creamed corn really is yellow enough to overcome the brownish broth you mix with brown sauce?

It‘s pretty tasty, at least. She cites it as a Chinese restaurant staple, but I‘ve never had it before or noticed it on a menu around here, and I HAUNT my top restaurant‘s menu. A regional thing, maybe?

TrishB It‘s very common in Chinese restaurants in the U.K. 1mo
xicanti @TrishB ah ha! The Canadian equivalent is probably hot & sour soup; something a lot of people start the meal with, and which used to be on every buffet before the buffets went away. 1mo

The library made me return my favourite cookbook (so rude), so I turned to my mum‘s favourite online chef for inspiration tonight. I once again suspect Nagi Maehashi used a filter to get the colours in her book‘s photo, but my Korean barbecue chicken thighs were delicious even if they weren‘t as gleaming red as hers. (They WERE slightly redder before I sliced them up and tossed them with rice.) I‘d make ‘em again.

TheBookHippie Yum!!! I suspect this with many cookbooks!!! 1mo
xicanti @TheBookHippie it‘s the only explanation for some of these colours! 1mo
TheBookHippie @xicanti I agree!! 1mo
Cheshirecat913 Huh, never really thought about that before, but makes so much sense. Looks yummy! 1mo
