Synopsis: An indispensable cookbook that introduces a happier, easier way to get a homemade dinner on the table and proves that it doesn't have to be difficult to be delicious. Cooking can be easy, fast, and fun!

Claire Tansey is an accomplished chef, but she's also a busy working mom. She knows how to make classic dishes by the traditional method, but after years of working, Claire has figured out a better way of cooking that doesn't take more time than it needs to. In Uncomplicated--featuring over 125 easy-to-make recipes--you'll find out how to make an unforgettable soup just by simmering lentils with a few spices; how to roast a chicken so it's golden and juicy every time; how to make delicious veggie side dishes in five minutes flat; how to make a gorgeous chocolate layer cake with just a bowl and spoon; and how to entertain at home without breaking a sweat. These and many more genius recipes, shortcuts, tips, and tricks will get you excited about cooking and take the stress out of homemade. And, every recipe is tested using a rigorous process so you know it will work just as it should.
     Claire's tell-it-like-it-is, funny, irreverent tone will make you feel as though she's in your kitchen, showing you how to skip or combine steps, to invite the kids in, to host a dinner party without anxiety, and to remember that food should bring joy, above all else.
