Learn to cook smarter, save time and money, and enjoy great meals
crafted from leftovers in this practical and creative cookbook that
teaches you to plan and prepare great "second meals." When it comes
to cooking and leftovers, James Beard Award-winner Sara Dickerman
believes that there is nothing better than figuring out the right
way to reframe a good meal into another, potentially great meal.
Second meals aren't just reheating last night's dinner. For Sara,
there's excitement in introducing new flavors and textures at the
next meal-that eureka moment of fitting ingredients you have into a
delicious new framework. In Secrets of Great Second Meals, she
inspires use to create fresh, delicious meals using what's in those
containers in the refrigerator. At Sara's house, re-invention might
mean pureeing roasted vegetables into a quick soup, crafting a
beautiful salad with some second-day salmon, or stuffing cooked
rice into roasted poblano peppers. But unlike other cookbooks that
emphasize thrift, Secrets of Great Second Meals focuses on creating
inviting, sophisticated, and healthy recipes that are open-ended
enough to adapt to what you have on hand. Sara shows how to make
the most of your food the way chefs do: by thinking of meals in a
more modular way. With a little thoughtful planning, you can look
at extra food from one dinner as components to another meal that
has already been prepped. Sara provides a list of the top ten most
versatile dishes for multiple meals, offers advice on food storage
(how to wrap it, when to put it in the fridge, when to freeze it,
and when to throw it out), and includes tips on adding freshness
and flavor using salt, acids, herbs, and texture. Most importantly,
she gives home cooks the tools they need to learn how to improvise
confidently. The recipes in Secret of Great Second Meals are meant
to be flexible, and Sara gives home cooks plenty of cues on how
they can be adapted to fit what in the fridge and pantry for dishes
such as: The Frittata: Meatball Frittata with Mozzarella and
Tomatoes (extra ingredient: meatballs) The Quinoa Bowl: Quinoa Bowl
with Greens, Sweet Potatoes, and Turmeric Cream (extra ingredients:
cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, and cooked greens) The
Chicken Salad: Ginger-Scallion Chicken Salad with Cucumbers (extra
ingredient: roasted chicken) The Chunky Chile-Laced Soup:
Turkey-Vegetable Tortilla Soup (extra ingredients: shredded turkey
or chicken and roasted vegetables) Deli Sandwich with a Twist: Hot
Ham and Cheese with Dill Pickle Relish (extra ingredient: cooked
ham) The Fish Cake: Black Cod Cakes with Cilantro, Scallions, and
Tomato Salad (extra ingredients: cooked fish and cooked potatoes)
The Pesto Pasta: Parsley and Celery Pesto with Whole Wheat
Spaghetti, Sausage, and Broccoli (extra ingredients: cooked Italian
sausage and broccoli) The Rice Pudding: Saffron Rice Pudding (extra
ingredient: cooked rice) Illustrated with full-color photos
throughout, Secrets of Great Second Meals makes re-imagining food
for a second meal not just a good, cheap, un-wasteful thing to do,
but way of making everyday eating more inventive and enticing.
