You can make fabulously flavorful, satisfying meals that are chockfull of health-promoting nutrients in about the same amount of time it would take to get to get take-out delivered.

You'll leave the class with a new repertoire of easy, healthful and wonderfully satisfying meals.

Learn the simple techniques it takes to make fabulous dinners on hectic weeknights and when entertaining. You'll learn how to shop to ensure you always have the makings of a great dinner on hand, how to throw together a meal in a hurry, and how to plan a menu for entertaining. You'll learn to coordinate timing---both yours and the food!---so that side dishes and entrées are ready at the same time, and how to turn basic recipe concepts into several variations so that you never again feel like you eat the same meals every week. This is a class designed specifically to make sure the meals you put on the table are delicious, simple, and stress-free. Using a few basic recipes, you'll discover how to create dozens of weeknight entrées (all of which can be on the table in less than 30 minutes!) using chicken, fish, seafood, beef, pork and vegetarian protein sources. Marge Perry is a nationally syndicated columnist, Cooking Light contributor, daily columnist for MyRecipes.com, and cookbook author.
