When it comes to home cooking,
I tend to be a minimalist.

I save the 20 ingredient-20 step entrees
for my trip to the restaurant.

Recently, a friend dropped off a cookbook;
The Four Ingredient Cookbook ( Linda Coffee )

I find it great reading.
ie; there are some 15 recipes for chicken breast.
By changing the three other ingredients,
you end up with 15 distinctly different dishes.
( great for those days when you say; "OGOD...chicken again" )

The dessert section also uses common IGA off-the-shelf items
to come up with some pretty good treats....
All with four ingredients !

I guess it'd make a great camping/RVing cookbook too.

Or for those times when we're at an Extended Stay Hotel with only 2 burners,
a microwave and a fridge I'll look it up. I have something called '6
Ingredients or Less' (can't put my hands on it right now so I don't know who
wrote it) but it's along those same lines.

Actually by Linda Coffee and Emily Cale I think.
See: <http://www.fouringredientcookbook.com/>
It's one of a series by the look of it including things like "The low
fat..." and "The diabetic..." -- all "Four Ingredient" of course.

Bit like a Chinese restaurant? (Four meats, four sauces, four vegie
mixtures, four methods and we've got 256 menu items. ;-)

>( great for those days when you say; "OGOD...chicken again" )

Given that so many things are said to "taste like chicken", just
pretend you're eating crocodile, or bunyip, or whatever instead of
chicken, and you won't get bored. 8-)

Steak and three veg was the standard "dinner" in much of Oz until
about 20 or 30 years ago. Obviously ahead of our time. :-)
