"John Kanell is known for creating beautiful recipes that feed the eye first. But as his kids get older and life gets more hectic, he recognizes the need that all busy families have for food that is at once practical to prepare and irresistibly delicious. Preppy Kitchen Super Easy was born of that need. Here, John has developed recipes that lean into riffs and swaps, make-aheads, and variations so that you can prepare any dish, even if you are missing an ingredient or want to mix things up a bit. Out of mayo? Use sour cream in the Feta and Dill Ranch. Need to use those tomatoes and peppers before they go to waste? Swap 'em for the cukes in the Summer Wild Rice Salad. Have a kid who loves peaches? Well, they can go right into the Summer Gazpacho. In each recipe, John breaks down instructions with easy steps, streamlines ingredients, and explains how a cake can become a quick bread or a muffin just by changing the vessel and cooking time; likewise, a universal breakfast batter can easily move from griddle to waffle iron, ensuring everyone's happiness in the morning. Finally, John leans into a small cache of appliances such as the Instant Pot and air fryer, so you can have dinner quickly and reduce hands-on cooking time. Maybe best of all, you'll find recipes you can make once and eat all week, along with dressings and spreads that morph from snack-time dips to salad accompaniments and just-add-a-protein main dishes. Preppy Kitchen Super Easy marries practicality and imagination. John Kanell gives home cooks a lifeline for keeping everyone, especially the cook, happy all the time."-- Inside of front cover.
