Siriously Delicious: 100 Nutritious (and Not So Nutritious) Simple Recipes for the Real Home Cook

Description

A WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER Popular food blogger and TODAY food contributor Siri Daly shares her collection of cooking triumphs and mistakes, and delicious recipes for people who love food. Like many of us trying to feed our families, Siri Daly is a very busy cook. As a mother of three under the age of 10, TODAY food contributor, and wife of a bicoastal traveling man, Carson Daly ("The Voice" host and TODAY show co-host), Siri often doesn't know which end is up. Siri is not a serious cook, but she is serious about her food-and what she serves her family, friends and loved ones. Siriously Delicious is organized by how a busy mom gets through her day-breakfast, lunch, happy hour (her favorite!), dinner with sides, and dessert. Siri's recipes are created with three goals in mind: to create food that is delicious and satisfying for both kids and adults, to prepare dishes packed with traditionally comforting flavors and ingredients (think cheese, avocado, chocolate!), and to make each recipe approachable for even a novice cook-no trips to specialty food stores are required. Whether you're looking for easy-to-cook recipes your kids will devour, such as mouth-watering Bacon Pizzadillas, or you're dying to relax with a Spicy Grapefruit Cocktail when the days feel too long, this cookbook has a recipe for every occasion. Siri also includes extra tips to make your time in the kitchen easier: Siriously Simple offers a hack or time-saving tip, Siriously Sinful details how to make something even more indulgent, Siriously Nutritious explains how to make something healthier, and Siriously Mini advises how to satisfy the kiddos. Filled with Siri's often hilarious anecdotes, Siriously Delicious will not only feed your family's bellies but hopefully deliver a belly laugh along the way.

Siri Daly was a television writer and producer before becoming a stay-at-home mom of three young kids. She started her popular food blog, Siriously Delicious, as a place to keep track of the recipes that worked for her continuously busier life. Married to Carson Daly, she is now a regular TODAY food contributor and resident comfort-food expert, often cooking on-air with her husband. They live in the greater New York area.

"Siri is simply, supremely talented and has mastered/invented techniques that make the cookies sweeter, the dressing tangier, the chicken juicier, the potatoes crispier, the sauce yummier, the everything . . . better. Whatever Siri makes, it's the best you've ever had. Turns out SHE is the secret ingredient."--Savannah Guthrie "Siri's book should really be titled Happy Food!

Nothing too fancy or fussy, just the food you dream of eating!"--Catherine McCord, Weelicious.com "Siri cooks the type of food everyone in my family loves to eat: delicious, unpretentious, creative.
