You know those cookbooks that say they're one-pot, but somehow you are left with a pile of dishes? Well, this is the real thing: 65 fabulous recipes that truly need just one pot and only one pot (or skillet, saut pan, or Dutch oven), start to finish. Included are dishes for family suppers like Moroccan Chicken with Couscous, or larger gathering with companyBraised Chipotle-Orange Pork with Yams. Cookbook author, chef, and one-pot enthusiast Jesse Ziff Cool braised, stir-fried, steamed, stewed, and simmered to perfection such delectable dishes as Short Ribs with Steamed Vegetables (the vegetables are ingeniously steamed on top of the ribs during the last few minutes of cooking), and Any Season Stir-Fry with Orange, Ginger, and Lemongrass. Recipes also offer suggestions for variations to either lighten up a dish or, when everyone is really hungry, make it more substantial. Plus there are plenty of tips for choosing the perfect pot, techniques on proper timing, and do-ahead strategies to make the prep as easy as the clean up.

I bought this cookbook after just having received a nice dutch oven for christmas. I've cooked about 6 different recipes from this book and they all have been delicious. I did not find the recipes difficult, though some required a large number of ingredients. Some take time to prepare, but most of that time is just simmering on the stove while the wonderful aromas fill the house. And the results are fantastic and flavorful. Every time I've tried a new recipe, everyone has been wowed.

I wasn't expecting much from this little book when I picked it up -- was just looking for some easy dinners. But this has ended up being a go-to cookbook for me, especially in winter months. My favorites so far are the Montana-style pork and bean stew and the lamb stroganoff with egg noodles. The recipes cover the gamut, from beef to duck to seafood to vegetarian. It should be noted that "one pot" does not necessarily mean "quick": though the recipes are simple and straightforward, they do often require some chopping and stewing time. But it's worth it. These are recipes you will come back to again and again when you're looking for a hearty meal that will feed a group or provide lots of leftovers.
