I just finished the book "Kitchen Counter Cooking School" by Kathleen Flinn, and being thus inspired made this for dinner!
It's grilled shrimp brushed with lemon butter sauce; pasta in that same sauce plus a little pesto, garden fresh tomatoes and basil, and parmesan cheese; along with spinach, strawberry, and bleu cheese salad in homemade vinaigrette. I modified and improvised both the lemon butter sauce and the vinaigrette for the salad. It was super easy and AWESOME! Could easily pay $20+ at a restaurant for this dish, but made at home it was maybe $5 a plate at the most [insert evil laugh here!]
I love fun cooking books! I would recommend this one to everyone-- sooo practical and fun to read-- includes lots of recipes and ideas to get the most from your cooking and give you confidence in the kitchen. (I also used up leftovers and made flawless omelets for the first time yesterday morning with tips from this book!) Hope you guys snag it at the library next time you go!
