A new meals-in-minutes cookbook from recipe developer, photographer,
and blogger Kathryn Pauline! Based on the idea that one go-to
component can anchor several meals, Piecemeal is designed to help a
busy home cook prepare delicious meals simply, in 15, 30, or 45
minutes.
This strategy-based cookbook features recipes for 30 transformational
components-such as grilled corn, turkey meatballs, tzatziki, roasted grapeseach used in three different ways, for a total of 120 delicious and adaptable
recipes. The featured components were selected for maximum performance:
each is flavorful, storable, and versatile and can stand alone or be used in
multiple ways.
Piecemeal presents a way for cooks to create a flexible repertoire of meals
without doing a ton of work at one time. Prepare the component when you
have some time, then use it to enhance or center meals throughout the week,
even on your most hectic evenings. The three recipes that pair with each
component are fully prepared, from start to finish, in either 15 minutes or less,
30 minutes or less, or up to 1 hour (a project recipe with a bit more prep). For
example: Make caramelized tomatoes. Use them in Caramelized Caprese (a
5+ minute recipe), Summer Strata (a 15+ minute recipe), or a Cornmeal
Pancake Stack (a 30+ minute recipe).
With Pauline's gorgeous photographs accompanying each of its smart,
strategic, and delicious recipes, Piecemeal is, at its core, a master course in
culinary riffing.
