The Lazy Gourmet Sunday, August 7, 2011
Too lazy to cook? You're not alone, especially in this fast-paced, on-the-go, 24-7, modern-day world we live in, and authors Robin Donovan and Juliana Gallin are here to help. Their new cookbook, The Lazy Gourmet: Magnificent Meals Made Easy, offers a cornucopia of tips and tricks for creating amazing edibles without breaking a sweat. Here's a tip: "Read the recipe." Here's another: "Keep your knives sharp." From tutorials on boiling pasta, separating eggs, and trimming asparagus to recipes for Roasted Salmon With Garlic Confit, Moroccan Chickpea Stew With Charmoula, and Duck Legs in Port Reduction, this book has enough sage advice to turn you into the next Galloping Gourmet. Even if you don't know what charmoula is. The authors sign their book at Vroman's Bookstore, 695 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena; Sun., Aug. 7, 4 p.m.; free, book is $15.95. (626) 449-5320, vromansbookstore.com. (Originally published in L.A. Weekly, August 5, 2011.)
