Giada De Laurentiis is one of America’s most-loved culinary
stars, adored for her Food Network hit shows and her New
York Times bestselling cookbooks alike, both of which
feature her fresh, flavorful Italian recipes. 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.
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. Weeknights with
Giada 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, Weeknights with Giada 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.
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, Weeknights with Giada is
a welcome handbook of fantastic recipes and surefire
Monday-to-Friday strategies for every home cook.
