Appearing daily on the ABC network, The Chew celebrates and explores life through food, with a group of dynamic, engaging, fun, relatable co-hosts who serve up everything to do with food-from cooking and home entertaining to food trends, restaurants, holidays, and more-all aimed at making life better, fuller, and more fun. THE CHEW: WHAT'S FOR DINNER? captures the show's trademark wit, fun, practical advice, and recipes-and highlights ways to make dinner fun. Formatted like 2012's standout bestseller, THE CHEW, this all-new book features more than 100 delectable recipes, perfect for each day of the week, from Manic Monday (fast and easy), to Friday Funday (delicious treats), as well as the weekend. It will also feature favorite segments from the show like, "What's in My Fridge?" "Grandma's Iron Chef Challenge" and "Leftover Makeover" as well as the ever popular, "Clinton's Craft Corner." It will be filled with mouth-watering photographs and lively graphics so it is every bit as pleasing and inviting as the first book. The hosts of the show-all contributors to the book-are chef, best-selling author, and TV personality Mario Batali; Iron Chef 's Michael Symon; Top Chef 's Carla Hall; What Not to Wear 's Clinton Kelly; and best-selling author and nutritionist Daphne Oz.
While many of the recipes are easy (and a few are rated as "moderately difficult"), the formatting of this book is terrible. There are blotches of orange and turquoise related to comments, chit chat, etc scattered about the book. What drives me crazy is that the recipes are printed in gray on glossy white paper and are hard to read (or nearly impossible if you are visually challenged and need glasses). Some of the editing is sloppy and the directions are not always clear. Some of the recipes use very expensive ingredients and are not budget friendly.
I threw away the book after I tore out about five recipes that I would try. I don't have the space for a cookbook that is too daunting to use and enjoy.
