The Full Plate: Flavor-Filled, Easy Recipes For Families With No Time And A Lot To Do

"Actress and restaurateur Ayesha Curry’s second cookbook is one of those “unicorns”: among the hundreds of “fast,” “family-friendly,” “flavor-filled” titles published every year, this one somehow feels new. Born in Canada to a Jamaican immigrant family, Curry draws on subtropical flavors – pineapple, coconut, Scotch bonnet peppers, lime, Sriracha – to produce swoonworthy effects in no time flat. The glaze on honey-garlic lamb chops, the crunch on pancake-battered coconut shrimp, the sticky skin of pineapple chicken thighs with spiced turmeric cauliflower – these are textures and tastes that keep your fork on the move until your plate is empty."
