Publisher Description
The Secret Ingredient Cookbook is filled with 125 family-friendly recipes covering every occasion and featuring a totally unexpected ingredient—based on the author's popular Just a Taste food website.
Kelly Senyei, founder of Just a Taste, has garnered millions of fans with a delicious hook: every one of her recipes has a secret ingredient, something completely unexpected that takes a dish from common to extraordinary. Her recipes cover every occasion, from crowd-pleasing snacks and 30-minute entrées to make-ahead sides and holiday-worthy desserts.
Some of the 125 tried-and-tested recipes include:
Vanilla Bean Drop Doughnuts with Greek YogurtSweet and Tangy Baked Chicken Wings with Blackberry JamKale Panzanella with CroissantsHealthy White Chicken Chili with HummusCrispy Slow Cooker Carnitas with Cocoa Powder
And just because the secret ingredients are surprising doesn't mean they're expensive or hard to find, either. Kelly is a busy mother of two, and she made sure every ingredient can be found in any supermarket. This cookbook with surprisingly tasty twists is one you'll go to again and again.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Chef and Just a Taste blogger Senyei delivers a dynamic debut collection of family-friendly recipes, each of which features a "secret ingredient." From simple cocktails to quick pastas, Senyei employs often surprising substitutions—such as swapping out breadcrumbs for graham crackers or using cottage cheese as a smoothie protein—to elevate her 125 offerings. She's careful to note her modifications aren't chosen willy-nilly; each has been selected to enhance a recipe's flavors, rather than just adding novelty. After sharing her sometimes unorthodox cooking hacks ("the best place to proof dough: your dryer!"), Senyei dives into a delightful mix of recipes. Among the many standouts are her breakfast options, including egg sandwiches topped with strawberry jam, and pumpkin waffles with ginger ale stirred in for a "light, crispy texture." Among the snacks are queso with sweet potato for a "touch of sweetness," while the mains include a tempting dish of scallops with pineapple risotto. Senyei promises that none of her secret ingredients are hard to find—and she mostly delivers. This enjoyable shake-up of kitchen standards is full of what are bound to become new mealtime favorites.
Customer Reviews
Disappointed
I was excited to read this book, in an effort to learn some new tricks in my love of cooking.
After awhile I realized I was just reading another ho-hum cookbook with a bunch of recipes that I will probably never make.
Disappointed for sure.
