The Newlywed Cookbook Cooking Happily Ever After

Today's newlyweds are contemporary and anything but traditional. Couples are more independent and their tastes are savvy because they grew up with The Food Network and frequent trendy restaurants, but their busy schedules mean they're often strapped for time and not always proficient in the kitchen.

With this collection of no-fail recipes for easy and delicious meals from two experienced family cooks here is all the help needed to start cooking together. Bold flavors peppered with international influences, decadent comfort foods, and plenty of meatless options are fresh, budget friendly and easy to make.

Specific recipes targeted to the most popular small appliances on today's bridal registries are also included to make the most of all those popular gifts. The authors also include tips for organizing your kitchen, marketing know-how, and stocking the perfect pantry—all gleaned from their years of experience.
