Busy lives, overbooked schedules, tightened wallets - this is what we're all dealing with now. While people struggle to simplify, streamline and budget, along comes Claire Robinson, the Food Network's newest star, to help. Claire's recipes get dinner on the table with minimal ingredients and fuss. Choosing the right ingredients along with a little culinary knowhow is Claire's specialty. Cooking doesn't have to be complicated to be impressive; simplifying the process with fewer ingredients saves time, frustration and ultimately, money. From breakfast treats like Brioche French Toast with Strawberries and Cream, to no-fuss meals like Grown-up Grilled Cheese and Iceberg Wedges with Buttermilk Dressing, to a romantic dinner of Grilled Scallops with Saffron Aioli and Green Goddess Rice, all of Claire's recipes have 5 or fewer ingredients. A quick trip to the supermarket and one bag of groceries later and a delicious, restaurant-quality meal can be on the table in no time.
