One pot, one pan, one can, or something like that. During the pandemic, I spent hours cooking. Now, I want quick and easy. Clark has simple versions of things I thought would be complex: saag paneer, spicy turkey larb, and crispy kimchi fried rice. Also, she has simple versions of “ordinary” dishes: rice and beans or bacon and egg spaghetti. Each recipe leads to ONE delicious meal.
