Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Healthy cooking often requires many steps and a reliance on daily visits to farmers' markets, but Krieger's new collection makes truly nourishing food more accessible to the average household. As the title suggests, all of these recipes can be made ahead, and Krieger includes freezing, storage, and reheating directions for convenience. Trendy superfoods such as chia seeds and farro make appearances, but the majority of recipes hew to more mainstream flavors and ingredients: herbed ham and cheese bread pudding; grilled steak and broccoli salad; and almond-crusted chicken tenders with apricot-mustard dipping sauce. In addition to casseroles and stews, Krieger includes prebaked flat bread and pre-simmered bouillabaisse broth. This well-crafted book provides solid inspiration for better eating. Photos.

Review by Library Journal Review

Krieger (Weeknight Wonders) expands a familiar selection of healthy make-ahead dishes (e.g., apple-cinnamon baked oatmeal, chicken enchilada pie, beef and bean burrito) with innovative recipes that test the boundaries of what can be frozen and reheated. For broccoli cheddar "quiche in a bag," for instance, a raw egg mixture is frozen until needed, then thawed and poured into a crust to bake. Similarly, stout-marinated pork chops are frozen in a beer and spice mixture, so they can simultaneously marinate and defrost before they're cooked. Unlike comparable titles, this cookbook places storage instructions alongside individual recipes, not just in an introductory section. It also provides notably unconventional breakfast options, such as peach-cherry breakfast cobbler and harvest breakfast cookies. VERDICT Expect demand for another well-done volume from Krieger. © Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
