Martha Stewart's Everyday Light (eBook)

From the Queen of American cookery comes a fabulous collection of recipes - all 500 calories or less, and all big on flavour!

Martha Stewart knows it's not enough for home cooks to prepare tasty weeknight meals in a flash - they also need to be healthy and appealing for the whole family. Martha Stewart's Everyday Light features delicious, low-fat recipes that are made with accessible ingredients, and each recipe is accompanied by beautiful colour photography to keep you inspired and cooking light every day of the week.

The recipes, which are organised seasonally, include salads, soups, stews, main courses, easy sides, desserts, and more. You'll find slimmed-down favourites, such as Beef Chilli, Chicken Parmesan, and deceptively skinny Chocolate-Chunk Brownies, plus new delights such as Spicy Chicken Stir-Fry with Peanuts and Salmon Burgers with Yoghurt-Dill Sauce. With basic low-fat cooking techniques (stir-frying, cooking in parchment, grilling), tips on the 10 best ways to boost flavour without adding fat (including marinades, dressings, herbs and spices), and simple tools for low-calorie cooking (cast-iron skillets and grill pans and steamer baskets), Martha Stewart's Everyday Light helps you cook the kind of delicious, healthy food you really want to eat!

Martha Stewart's Pies and Tarts

The perfect sweet (or savoury) for any occasion

Filled with seasonal fruit, piled high with billowy meringue, or topped with buttery streusel, pies and tarts are comforting and foolproof. In Martha Stewart's New Pies and Tarts, the editors of Martha Stewart Living include 150 recipes: some are savoury, some are sweet, some are simple enough for a weeknight, while others are fancy enough for special events. Throughout, readers will find plenty of fillings and crusts, basics, and techniques for creating flavours and textures for every taste - from down-home classics that come together easily with fresh berries and stone fruits to modern tarts layered with chocolate ganache or finished with a wine glaze. There are also individual hand pies, savoury comforts like quiche and pot-pie, holiday-worthy desserts for nearly every occasion, and much more.

Chapters feature pies and tarts for everyone: CLASSIC (Lattice-Top Blueberry Pie, Pumpkin Pie), FREE-FORM (Apricot-Pistachio Tart, Apple Butter Hand Pies), SLEEK (Caramelized Lemon Tart, Chocolate Mousse Tart with Hazelnuts), DREAMY (Frozen Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pie, Butterscotch Praline Cream Pie), RUSTIC (Cheddar-Crust Apple Pie, Blackberry Jam Tart), LAYERED (Rainbow Puff-Pastry Tarts, Chocolate Pear Tart), DAINTY (Roasted Fig Tartlets, Cranberry Meringue Mini Pies), ARTFUL (Peach-Raspberry Slab Pie, Pumpkin and Ricotta Crostata), HOLIDAY (Neapolitan Easter Pie, Gingerbread-Raspberry Snowflake Tart), and SAVOURY (Leek and Olive Tart, Summer Squash Lattice Tart).

As is expected from Martha Stewart, this book is at once a feast for the eyes and the palate, as well as a practical teaching tool. Each dish is accompanied by a lush, full-colour photograph. Throughout the book are
