OrangeReviewStarYou'll happily ditch complicated menus and meal plans for these more than 200 stand-alone dinners from author and longtime New York Times food columnist Clark (Cook This Now). Fantastic dishes such as garlic-chile chicken breasts with cucumbers and green ginger sauce, seitan enchiladas with cheese and pickled jalapenos, and roasted hake with crispy mushrooms are doable even on the busiest of weeknights and require little in the way of accompaniment—a simple salad or some bread will do. Clark balances meaty and meatless recipes and brings unexpected sophistication to popular forms of convenience cooking, including sheet pan suppers, grain bowls, and one-pot dishes.
VERDICT A stellar collection of low-effort, high-impact meals.
