Robin Takes 5 © 2011 by Robin Miller

Crammed with 500 recipes at under 500 calories each, every one using five ingredients or less, Robin Takes 5 (Andrews McMeel, 2011) is the only cookbook you need for work week dinners. Created and compiled by Robin Miller, the host of Food Network’s Quick Fix Meals, the vast collection of globally-inspired dishes shows you don't need much to create a fabulous meal – just fresh ingredients and a little ingenuity. And while Miller concentrates on dinner recipes, she doesn't ignore the extras that make mealtime worth sitting down to. Chapters on soups, breads, and desserts mean you don’t have to over-extend yourself, even for a multi-course meal on a busy Wednesday.

Miller recently shared four fast and tasty recipes with Grandparents.com. Alone, they’re mix-and-match repasts you can fit into any meal. Combined, they’re practically a feast.
