No matter how busy you are, at the end of the day you want fresh, flavorful meals that are easy to prepare. And you want lots of choices and variations—recipes that call for your favorite foods and take advantage of excellent (and readily available) ingredients. In the first book from the award-winning magazine Everyday Food, you’ll find all of that: 250 simple recipes for delicious meals that are quick enough to make any day of the week.
Because a change in weather affects how we cook as much as what we cook, the recipes in Everyday Food are arranged by season. For spring, you’ll find speedy preparations for main-course salads, chicken, and poached salmon that minimize time spent at the stove; summer features quick techniques for grilling the very best burgers and kabobs as well as no-cook pasta sauces; for fall, there are braised meats and hearty main-course soups; and winter provides new takes on rich one-dish meals, roasts and stews, and hearty baked pastas. Finally, a chapter on basics explains how to make year-round staples such as foolproof roast chicken, risotto, couscous, and chocolate sauce.
Designed in a contemporary and easy-to-read format, Everyday Food boasts lush, full-color photography and plenty of suggestions for substitutions and variations. With Everyday Food, even the busiest on-the-go cook can look forward to meals that bring freshness, nutrition, and a range of flavors to dinner all week long.
If you are a fan of Everyday Food magazine (and you should be), you will be wowed by Great Food Fast, a gorgeous full-color cookbook filled to bursting with recipes for fresh, flavorful food that is easy to prepare. Organized by season, Great Food Fast features simple recipes for year-round cooking, including no-cook pasta sauces, main-course soups, one-dish meals, and more. --Daphne Durham

I subscribed to "Everyday Food" magazine when it first came out, and found the recipes to be original, fresh-tasting, and generally quick to prepare. The only problem with my growing stack of the little magazines was that I couldn't reliably find my favorite recipes. This cookbook distills down those first few years of the magazine to the very best recipes, and organizes them by season.
The photography is beautiful, as one would expect from Marfa, but this isn't just eye candy. They must have tested the recipes very thoroughly because I've yet to find a dud in the mix. The other thing I appreciate is that for the most part, this isn't a bunch of frou-frou gourmet kewsine that my kids refuse to touch. They use fresh, generally down-to-earth ingredients, and the results are healthful and delicious.
A winner all the way around!

This is hands-down my favorite cookbook. The recipes are clear and always turn out well. The results are always much more impressive than one would imagine, given that most of them can be made in about half an hour. To me, this is the mark of a great cookbook.
The organization of the recipes by season is also a wonderful idea. It encourages readers to use seasonal ingredients, which means that simple recipes with fresh ingredients can be made to taste great without lots of extra work or artificial flavors.
Wonderful!

I have never found a cookbook with so many wonderful recipes, and when they say easy, they mean it. Not a ton of ingredients, but tons of flavor. I love that there is a color picture with every recipe too, so you know what the dish is supposed to look like. I would recommend this for any cook....novice or experienced.

I love this cookbook. Everything is easy and quick to make. Plus everything I have made so far has tasted amazing. I use this book a lot during the week because I want something healthy but fast. We loved the chicken stir fry with lettuces wraps, chicken tostas, and the grilled chicken with asparagus and potatoes. I strongly suggest buying this book no matter what kind of cook you maybe(good or bad).
