The debut cookbook from the winner of the Amazon Prime Video original series America’s Test Kitchen: The Next Generation 100 budget-friendly, home cook–developed recipes that transform everyday supermarket ingredients into something special, with meals, sides, snacks, desserts, and more Forget takeout and get fired up for cooking at home while saving money and learning simple ways to build fast, easy meals around taken-for-granted ingredients. In her debut cookbook, Antoinette Johnson dispels myths that cooking takes too long and buying ingredients is too expensive. She guides you through grocery aisles with a creative look at canned goods, condiments, frozen items, and more. You'll learn to shop efficiently to build a lean, must-have pantry and then how to make culinary magic in a flash using those few well-chosen items. Make canned goods impressive: Maximize canned vegetables with Ginger-Miso Carrots, Weeknight Collard Greens, and the No-Churn Sweet Potato Pie Ice Cream that wowed the TV judges. Use tinned fish for Oysters Rockefeller Dip and Sriracha-Soy Salmon Sliders. Turn frozen foods into assets: Transform frozen pasta into Weeknight Ravioli Lasagna. Jazz up frozen meatballs to enjoy Strawberry-Hoisin Meatballs. Make flavors sing with basic condiments: You don’t need 17 different condiments for Stuffed Pork Chops, the Dijon-Lemon Roasted Cabbage Wedges from the TV show, or Spicy Potato Salad. Get more bang for your prepared-foods buck: Don’t just slice up a rotisserie chicken—turn it into Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Curry Chicken Noodle Soup, or White Chicken Chili. Bring comfort food within reach: Make dinner what Antoinette calls “Wednesday night ready” using your Instant Pot, from Quesabirria Tacos to her TV competition–winning Barbecue Burnt Ends. These approachable recipes are proof positive that mostly homemade is faster, cheaper, and far more delicious than takeout.

Semi-Homemade Vegetarian Cooking by Robin Colleen McClary Over 30 years ago, Robin McClary made a choice to not eat animal products. She made a choice to change her life by changing the way she ate. She grew up on farms, so naturally, she loved fresh vegetables. When she was young, meals were prepared at home, every day, using fresh produce picked out of the garden. This instilled within her, a love for cooking fresh meals. She grew up eating traditional meals with meat, but never liked the taste of meat. At the age of 21, Robin made a life changing decision to stop eating meat, which was based on ethical reasons and learning to eat healthier. Her primary reasoning for this decision, was in reaction to the cruelty to animals in industrial factory farming, battery caged animals, the torture and cruelty to animals used in entertainment, and the reality that animals are bred and sold for profit in massive numbers. Though not a trained chef, Robin McClary has a passion for cooking and experimenting with flavors. She has been testing meatless products for over ten years, and has learned to prepare delicious meals without meat-even with the recipes she grew up on and we are all familiar with. Semi-Homemade Vegetarian Cooking is a product of these years of kitchen tests and experiments. Robin McClary has been a Wildlife Rehabilitator for 17 years and volunteers with agencies, helping to rescue abused animals from danger (i.e. puppy farms), and she volunteers for the National Disaster Response Team, which responds to natural disasters and the displacement of animals.
