Chef Jeff’s dinneRevolution

Tuesday, November 8, 2011

Asianmommy.com was given a free download of Chef Jeff’s cookbook entitled dinneRevolution:  “Healthy and Modern Recipes Made Simply with 10 Ingredients or Less in Under 30 Minutes.”  That’s a pretty tall order, and something that I think every mom could use.  Honestly, getting dinner on the table every night is not so easy when you have to get the kids to after school activities and help with homework all the time.

Chef Jeff Pirtle offers over 200 recipes in this collection.  The sections include Poultry, Seafood, Pork, Beef, and Side dishes.  Here are some recipes that I'd like to try:  Thai Cucumber Salad, Sweet & Sour Carrots, Thai Beef Skewers, Vegetarian Pad Thai, Shrimp Stir-Fry, Grilled Salmon with Sesame-Ginger Glaze, Thai Chicken Salad with Peanut Dressing, Sweet & Sour Mandarin Chicken with Cashews, Chinese Chicken Salad, Asian Turkey Burgers, and Asian BBQ Chicken. 

What I liked:  The recipes seem to be easy to follow.  I also like that the Nutritional Information is provided for each recipe.

What could be improved:  Some recipes may be too simple, such as the one for Roasted Sweet Potatoes, which doesn’t tell you if you should cut or peel the sweet potatoes before mixing them with salt, sugar, pepper, garlic powder, and oil.  Seems like you should, right?

You can check out the cookbook yourself.  Click to get your free copy of dinneRevolution, courtesy of Chef Jeff.

Good review, I'm always

Good review, I'm always looking for interesting cookbooks. I'm not quite at the level where I can make things from memory!

Hi Bicultural Mama,

Me, too. I always need directions when I cook--the simpler, the better!
