    Cat Cora's Classics with a Twist...

    The Iron Chef offers over 100 fast & fresh recipes offering modern, healthy takes on popular favorites. 
     
    On the wildly popular show Iron Chef America, Cat Cora fires up the imagination of millions of cooks by improvising exciting dishes while the clock is ticking. Now in Cat Cora’s Classics with a Twist, she shares recipes she makes where cooking really counts: at home. 
     
    If you’re searching for casual fare that looks as if you spent hours on it (but takes a fraction of the time), you’ll want to try tomato-mozzarella skewers with Blood Mary vinaigrette (witch crispy onion rings on the side), fettucine with scallops and lime, and blueberry-lemon poppyseed upside-down cake. 
     
    And if you need fast, healthful meals, you’ll find delicious inspiration in this book. These are the meals Cat puts together after work for her own family, including her four boys under the age of seven: enchilada pie, easy chicken curry, bucatini pasta with bacon, and crispy baked fish sticks with honey mustard dipping sauce. 
     
    Wish your favorite dishes were a little faster, fresher, and brighter-flavored? Then you’ll welcome Cat’s take on the classics: baked “fried calamari, soft tacos with grilled flank steak and pineapple salsa, and cherry-filled chocolate cupcakes. Many, like Greek-style nachos, “pulled pork” sloppy joes, and red velvet coconut cake, are Cat’s spins on foods she enjoyed as a child growing up in a Greek family in the South. 
     
    Cat helps you sneak out a few calories (when it improves the taste) and freshen things up, slipping chipotle chili croutons into Caesar salad or lemongrass into coq au vin. She reveals the secrets she learned over decades of cooking in restaurants. Best of all, Cat shows you how to “twist” these recipes, changing each one in subtle or dramatic ways the next time to make it your very own. 
     
    Praise for Cat Cora's Classics with a Twist 
     
    “When . . . Cora sets out to provide unique flavors, she delivers. . . . Her more than 100 recipes touch on every part of the menu, adding not only new tastes, but also new knowledge.” —Booklist 
     
    “Easily identifiable recipes like Chili and Minestrone are infused with Cora's signature zesty flair . . . and she certainly proves she's got a lot to offer. . . . Readers will easily identify with Cora's laid back, family-style approach to cooking, and find effective and valuable tips throughout. Over seventy full-color photos add style and remind the reader that casual trumps extravagant in Cora's kitchen. Her book will appeal to the home cook who wants to break from the monotony of the weeknight meal.” —Publishers Weekly
