Restaurant-Special MADE AT HOME!

Simple, showstopping and loaded with flavor, these recipes come together quick and are guaranteed to please

Often when we think about (or eat) a meal at a restaurant, we assume that it was expensive, complicated and time-consuming to produce — and those reasons are why it’s delicious. But according to executive chef Christine Flynn, that’s not the case. “I want to show you that you don’t need a lot of time, a lot of money or a lot of know-how to make good food,” says Flynn, author of the new cookbook A Generous Meal. “Even after decades of cooking (and eating), I still find it incredible how little is required to be kind to yourself and to others and how easy it is to create a thoughtful, nourishing meal.” The proof is in these easy-to-make, flavor-packed recipes.
