Publisher's Synopsis
Food is nourishment. Food is also a conversation starter. Food is also a ritual. But good food-and food rituals-should not be reserved for special occasions. Good food can be had every day and for every meal we eat. And that good food, created simply, can bring us together, nourish us, and form the fondest memories. That's what this cookbook is all about.
In the 5-Ingredient Cookbook, every recipe has five ingredients or fewer and can often be prepared, cooked, and on the table in 30 minutes or less.
I hope you'll dig into this book, try the recipes, learn the techniques, and then adapt them to your preferences.
The recipes you will find here primarily call for whole foods, meaning the ingredients are often in their purest form-as close to how they grew in nature as possible. You won't find canned soups or boxed mixes in the ingredients lists. You will find natural flavor boosters, like soy sauce and various types of vinegar. I've chosen these for what they add to a recipe and dish-their flavors will never overpower or hide the main ingredients.
