"Impress for Less! is a valuable tool for every home cook; it will transform your kitchen into a 5-star restaurant."
--Patti LaBelle

100 Dazzling Recipes from Top Restaurants--Streamlined and Simplified

Hope Fox has been appearing on QVC for more than ten years, and she enjoys entertaining and eating at top restaurants. But she's regularly disappointed with cookbooks written by chefs, which often feature hard-to-find ingredients and complicated culinary techniques. Now Hope shows you how to re-create 100 impressive restaurant dishes without all the fuss, using supermarket ingredients and basic kitchen skills. The restaurants and chefs represented--ten each from ten top food cities--are among America's most celebrated, and their retooled starters and main dishes are guaranteed to wow any guest. To make the book even more useful, Hope gives the inside scoop on the chefs' tips and tricks, shares food definitions, and includes a source guide to give you many options to create each dish your way. This inspiring all-star cookbook will be an indispensable kitchen companion.
