Description

It can be a challenge to prepare tasty and healthy home-cooked meals during the busy workweek. More and more people are turning to ready-made meals, which are often sodium-saturated, fat-filled, highly processed and expensive. Everyone Can Cook Midweek Meals is packed with easy-to-follow, healthy recipes ranging from classic family fare to innovative dishes inspired by global cuisine. Designed to make mealtime as stress-free as possible, the simply delicious dishes in Everyone Can Cook Midweek Meals are either straightforward enough to be whipped up after work, or designed to be made in advance and reheated.
