Delicious, nutritious, umami-heavy, well-balanced recipes for accessible whole-food meals by the co-host of "Don't Panic Pantry." As the world evolves, we often find ourselves torn between the desire to be healthier and the craving for comforting food. This book reassures us: Don't Panic. In an era of overwhelming information, Noah Galuten simplifies his cooking philosophy into key principles: 1. Excess of anything is detrimental; 2. Balance is essential; 3. Refined sugar is harmful and often hidden; 4. Heavily processed foods are where most sugars lurk; 5. Opt for less meat but of higher quality; 6. Focus on fiber over protein; 7. Stock your pantry for convenient home cooking. The host shares new favorite recipes, including a Chef Salad with Probiotic Ranch and Cheddar Croutons, and Pasta with Rosemary-Bacon Tomato Sauce (with a vegetarian option using dried mushrooms). Enjoy a quick Vegan Tahini Dressing for a new favorite dip, or try Miso Roast Chicken with Vegetables, which can be prepped in advance for a family-friendly one-pan dinner. For a comforting treat, there's the fresh herbed panko crusted Mozzarella Marinara that famously moved comedian Iliza Shlesinger to tears. Here are your pantry staples for the future.
