Secret Ingredient Cookbook

"e;Unorthodox cooking hacks . . . This enjoyable shake-up of kitchen standards is full of what are bound to become new mealtime favorites."e; -Publishers Weekly (starred review)Kelly Senyei, founder of the food site Just a Taste, has garnered millions of fans with a delicious hook every one of her recipes has a secret ingredient, something totally unexpected that takes a dish from common to extraordinary. Some of the 125 tried-and-tested recipes are surprisingly simple, like her Vanilla Bean Drop Doughnuts made with Greek yogurt, or the Sweet and Tangy Baked Chicken Wings made with blackberry jam. Other recipes are nothing short of genius, such as the Kale Panzanella made with croissants, the Healthy White Chicken Chili made with hummus, or the Crispy Slow Cooker Carnitas made with cocoa powder. And just because the secret ingredients are surprising doesn't mean they're expensive or hard to find, either. Kelly is a busy mother of two, and she made sure every ingredient can be found in any supermarket. Her family-friendly recipes cover every occasion, from crowd-pleasing snacks and 30-minute entrees to make-ahead sides and holiday-worthy desserts. "e;Kelly Senyei has hit the nail on the head: Her book is full of delicious recipes that are both upgraded and familiar. The secret ingredients Kelly incorporates in her everyday recipes like ginger ale in homemade waffles are simple but wonderfully surprising. I love this book!"e; Justin Chapple, culinary director-at-large, Food & Wine"e;Brilliant! Kelly Senyei's 'secret ingredient' additions are so clever and easy, they will leave you smiling and wondering, 'Why didn't I think of that?'"e; Elise Bauer, founder, Simply Recipes
