from appetizers to dessert…

Why eat when you can dine? Dinner is a meal that aspires to perfection, whether you’re cooking for one or two—or a full house. Each of the 110 recipes relies on foil—reducing time, effort, cookware and cleanup to the minimum. Chapters include Vegetables, Rice, Poultry, Meats, Seafood, Baking and Desserts. And for those with celiac concerns, each recipe offers gluten-free alternative ingredients.

“We’re talking aluminum foil. Tear off a sheet, plop a thawed chicken breast or piece of fish on top, add veggies and seasonings, then roll it into a packet. Bake it, transfer to a plate and—here’s the best part—when you’ve finished dinner, simply crumple and toss the foil in the trash. But in case you think this method is for quick-but-not-great food, check out a new book, The Perfect Dinner.”  —New York Times News Service

“Mallorca adapts the French technique of cooking en papillote, right down to shaping the foil the way you would fold the traditional parchment paper. The recipes are simple and quick, and the foil saves a lot of clean-up time. Most of the dishes are sophisticated fare, like Roasted Chicken Provençal and Nut-Crusted Salmon Fillet.”  —Charlotte Observer

“A cook could prepare the Persian chicken with its dried fruit stuffing early in the day, put it in the oven as guests arrive, and serve it after the cocktail hour. How much simpler can entertaining get?”  —Washington Times
