Even this cookbook lover admits that there are times when I don't want to think about dinner. Any number of things can throw my carefully balanced juggling act off course. Claire Tansey is an accomplished chef, but also a busy working mom, so she knows the stress that takes over when deadlines are looming but we need to put dinner on the table. In her debut cookbook, Uncomplicated: Taking the Stress Out of Home Cooking, Claire has streamlined classic dishes so that cooking doesn't take more time than it needs to. 

The author knows how to filet a fish or slow roast a duck, but admits that sometimes she is just hungry and wants to make a simple meal to sit down and enjoy with her family. The recipes in Uncomplicated are those that she prepares on the regular. For instance, the Gingery beef and broccoli with cashews that can be made ahead and served up before takeout can be called in. There are over 125 recipes from breakfast to dessert, including dishes for entertaining and the holidays.
