Most neighborhood restaurants don’t cook every part of your meal to order. If they did, they’d never get the food to the table fast enough. Instead, restaurants do prep work for cooked food that divides the process into three broad categories:
  • tastes best when eaten immediately: broiled or grilled meats, delicate produce
  • tastes best after a day or two: casseroles, braised meats, stews and soups, sauces
  • tastes great when partially cooked then caramelized in fat: many vegetables, some meats

Well Fed includes recipes that represent all three of these categories, so you can enjoy a variety of grab-and-go foods and slow-simmered meals throughout the week.
