That Sounds So Good - by Carla Lalli Music (Hardcover)

About the Book

Everyone deserves to have recipes up their sleeves that they turn to again and again, and Carla Lalli Music believes that these recipes should not only match what's in your pantry, but also should fit every mood and scenario that life throws at you. Since Carla knows that we only cook what we have time for and choose recipes based on what's going to be realistic on a given day, the recipes in this book are organized by situations that we all find ourselves in: quick stovetop suppers and one-pot/one-pan meals for weeknights, nourishing salads and grain bowls if you want to be a little cleaner, and lazy lunches and all-day stews for the weekend.

Book Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Recipes to match every mood, situation, and vibe from the James Beard Award-winning author of Where Cooking Begins

ONE OF THE TEN BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: San Francisco Chronicle - ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time Out, Glamour, Taste of Home

Great food is an achievable part of every day, no matter how busy you are; the key is to have go-to recipes for every situation and for whatever you have on hand. The recipes in That Sounds So Good are split between weekday and weekend cooking. When time is short, turn to quick stovetop suppers, one-pot meals, and dinner salads. And for the weekend, lean into lazy lunches, simmered stews, and hands-off roasts.

Carla's dishes are as inviting and get-your-attention-good as ever. All the recipes--such as Fat Noodles with Pan-Roasted Mushrooms and Crushed Herb Sauce or Chicken Legs with Warm Spices--come with multiple ingredient swaps and suggestions, so you can make each
one your own. That Sounds So Good shows Carla at her effortless best, and shows how you can be, too.
