 | Buy food in bulk and reap the savings--without waste or an endless parade of leftover meals--with this superb cookbook filled with ideas for cooking creatively for an average-sized family. More and more Americans are purchasing their groceries today in large quantities at warehouse clubs. But our meal planning and cooking habits have not caught up with this trend. At last, here is the first cookbook designed to help shoppers make the most of the money-saving and culinary rewards that these clubs have to offer--without having to eat the same dish four nights in a row or trash the unused portions. How long can I keep salad greens before they turn into something out of a horror movie? How can I use that 72-ounce can of tuna without making 110 tuna sandwiches, like Woody Allen did for his army in Bananas? In Big Food, award-winning journalist and food writer/editor Elissa Altman tells readers how to shop, meal plan, and cook inventively; how to store food safely; and how to use her 125 delicious recipes to turn large quantities of chicken, for instance, into Apricot-Glaze Roasted Chicken, Asian Chicken-Stuffed Lettuce Rolls, and Papardelle with Chicken Ragu or a 6- to 8-pound side of salmon into Tamari-Spiced Salmon Fillet, Cold Poached Salmon with Horseradish Cream, and Smoked Salmon and Asparagus Omelet.

 | Do-it-yourself has made a comeback, as evidenced by the clicking of knitting needles and banana bread baking in studio apartments. Now, here is a book for the novice nester who wants to whip up meals in an ill-equipped kitchen smaller than a breadbox. Mixing practicality and great recipes, Sandra bark and Alexis Kanfer cover breakfast (for eating en route to work or sharing with a lover), lunch, dinner, drinks, and snacks. Each section has a playing the field sidebar that allows the cook to vary the recipe according to taste--and what she has on hand. For example, the authors' frittata recipe is made in a muffin tin so that guests can choose their own fillings. Other recipes include: The Independence Pancake--a puff to free the host from flipping pancakes Memoirs of a Grapefruit--a crisp vinaigrette; the essence of dressing well Fred and Ginger Pumpkin Soup--easy to make for a just-got-home dinner Lazy Girl's Lasagna--a timesaving version of the classic Whether cooking for mom or Mr. Maybe, Cheap & Easy won't eat up her day or her budget.
