Melissa d’Arabian, host of Food Network’s Ten Dollar
Dinners and season 5 winner of The Next Food Network
Star, makes good on the $10 promise of dinner for four
in her eagerly awaited debut cookbook. For home cooks who
care about what they feed their families and want to stretch
their dollars, Melissa is the best guide for putting
delicious meals on the table. With four young girls ages
six and under, and a hit show on Food Network, Melissa
d’Arabian focuses on savvy budgeting, efficient shopping,
and full-flavored cooking. Ten Dollar Dinners has 140
recipes and more than 100 creative, practical tips on great
money-savers (“Clear-Your-Pantry Week”); inventive takes on
old standby dinners (try her Moroccan Meatloaf); and
how to get ingredients to last longer (keep your green
onions in a glass of water and they will regrow several
times over!). And with a coding system to help you create
your own $10 menu, Ten Dollar Dinners celebrates
spending with purpose, cooking with love, minimizing time
spent in front of the stove, and savoring your homemade
meal. Melissa is a pro at creating satisfying meals that
adults and kids alike will enjoy, using everyday ingredients
and transforming them into delicious dinners. Her
Potato-Bacon Torte (which, at 50 cents a serving, was
one of her winning recipes on The Next Food Network
Star) shows how basic and inexpensive supermarket
ingredients can be turned into an amazingly satisfying dish.
Her Roasted Vegetable Tian is a great way to take
advantage of deals in the produce aisle. The Four-Step
Chicken Piccata offers a plan for getting food on the
table in just minutes, using almost anything in the pantry.
Anyone can use this book—especially those who want to
save money—and feel great about cooking sensibly for
elevated, simple meals that are healthy family-pleasers
