Braises and Stews by Tori Ritchie host of CBS’s Five Minute Cooking School and Food Network’s Ultimate Kitchen is a nice collection of everyday recipes for stove-top or oven braised dishes aimed at helping you ’ get a great dinner on the table tonight without searching for special ingredients, without exhaustive preparation, without spending a lot of money.’ Braising is the ideal cooking technique for turning a few simple ingredients (with one pot) into full-flavored, nutritious meals with little fuss, and because it requires minimal preparation it is the ideal choice for beginner, busy cooks and impromptu get-togethers.

Braises and Stews starts off with the basic techniques and steps of braising to get the beginner started then gets right into the recipes. Organized by main ingredients, there is a nice mix of classic meat and fish dishes, fresh vegetarian and party-ready meals with an international flare - thai fish and corn curry; true chili verde; classic pot roast with carrots and onions; turkey pot pie in a pan; braised stuff cabbage and braised borlotti beans - plenty of great comfort foods to get you through the winter.
