    ABOUT THE BOOK

    For many, making dinner is like any other household chore. If you could fold two loads of laundry at once, or clean two rooms of your house with the efforts of one, you would feel like a great success. Kelly Donlea brings that kind of success to your kitchen with her new cookbook Cook Once. . . Eat Twice! delicious dinner duos for the organized cook.

    Cook Once. . . Eat Twice! includes recipes that result in two night's dinners with the second night's meal being anything but leftovers. The dinner duos use the same main course, but in a completely different way each time. For example a Holiday Cranberry Brisket doubles as Shredded Beef Tostadas. Grilled Shrimp with Peach Salsa doubles as Cajun Shrimp Pasta. Each duo's second dinner provides with flavors, textures, and results anything but like the first.
