Cooking can often be time-consuming, expensive, wasteful, and stressful for those not practiced in the kitchen. In Meals You Can't Mess Up, food and travel writer Shay Spence sets out to create dishes that are as foolproof as possible. He considers the four greatest recipe pain points identified by his social media followers-longer-than-expected prep and cook times, expensive ingredients, a mess of dishes, and excessive prep work. First off: no recipe in this cookbook calls for more than ten ingredients, and most can be cooked in just one pot or pan (and never more than two). Furthermore, each recipe falls into at least one of these categories: 30-ish Minute, 6-Ingredient (or Less), One-Dish, and No-Chop. This book gives you a collection of easy recipes to get yourself comfortable in the kitchen, or help you learn new tricks if you already are. You'll find calm in the kitchen as you whip up one easy dish after another, and if you don't.well, at least now you know some super-quick recipes to get you the hell out of there as soon as possible.
