The Six-Ingredient Solution

How to Coax More Flavors from Fewer Ingredients

Make a hearty chicken soup, Sunday dinner-worthy roast beef, or robustly flavored spaghetti and meatballs with just a handful of ingredients. Six-Ingredient Solutions is a collection of 175+ fuss-free recipes that slash the shopping list but deliver big on flavor.

Put your pantry to work with recipes such as Cheddar Crumb-Crusted Chicken with Sautéed Cherry Tomatoes (crispy cheese sticks are transformed into a flavor-packed breading) and Chai-Infused Butternut Squash Soup (the tea’s warm spices pair with the fall vegetable for the perfect warm dish). The revamped cooking techniques we teach you throughout the book show you how to make the most of every ingredient.

"The America's Test Kitchen folks bring their good sense, good taste and impeccable recipe testing to the minimal-ingredients topic."
