Summary

There's never been a cookbook like it! Each of the 75 recipes in Fresh Made Simple is actually a charming full-page illustration showing how to make the dish described. Each meal or snack begins with one delicious ingredient, and the cook builds around that to make a simple, elegant, delicious creation. An avocado seasoned with lime and salt elevates a fried egg on toast; fresh-picked blueberries and an ear of corn add sweetness and texture to standard pancakes. From pineapple cilantro salsa and asparagus apple salad to a kale egg scramble, tortilla soup, and crostini, these easy recipes celebrate the unbeatable flavors of fresh ingredients.
