The Uncommon Gourmet

by Ellen Helman

This is the original Ellen Helman cookbook. The philosophy of this book is that gourmet food need not be elaborate and difficult to make, but fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The preparations reflect this "uncommonly" simple approach. With her easy-to-follow recipes, she presents imaginative, innovative ways of saucing and seasoning foods geared to the busy working world. Here is a collection of more than 300 dishes that will romance your sense and elevate home cooking to new heights. Originally published in 1990, this book has been a requested favorite and is now in its 8th printing.
