With the introduction of the TV dinner in 1954 and the popularization of the microwave oven in American households twenty years later, the terms “quick” and “easy” are as much a part of the American diet as hamburgers and hotdogs. Even when something comes out of the traditional oven rather than the microwave, it is often a premade casserole prepared by the industrious Mrs. Stouffer. Whether the motivation is saving time in meal preparation, limiting how many pots and pans get used (and need to be cleaned afterward), shopping in a minimalist way so a majority of meals can come from a handful of frequently used ingredients, or keeping portion size low for a single person or childless household; the quick and easy meals offered in these great titles perfectly fit the more compact and efficient needs of 21st century food preparation. Though Mrs. Stouffer is always good in a pinch, the meals in these titles will give the convenience necessary for modern living while allowing for a healthier and probably a tastier option than the average microwave or prepackaged meal in the grocery store aisle.

The globally renowned chef of Momofuku, star of Netflix's Ugly Delicious, and bestselling author of Eat a Peach now shares the kitchen hacks and culinary tricks he uses as a new home cook for a growing family--and shows the rest of us how to make the most of our cooking skills. Being a chef can make you the absolute worst kind of home cook. Either you're too fussy when dinner just needs to be on the table (without an hour of dishes to do afterwards), or, like Momofuku chef David Chang, you just never cook at home--your apartment is a place to sleep. But now, with a young family to feed, David finds himself having to retrain every instinct in his kitchen.
