So it’s chicken taco night at your house. You rush home from work, ready to whip it up quickly, but make a terrible discovery as you look in the fridge: You don’t have any chicken! Well, fear not! It’s Cooking Light to the rescue!

Cooking Light Cooking On the Fly offers readers creative options for clever ingredient improvisations that provide fast, flavorful choices for simple weeknight meals. With 150 base recipes and three ways to change up each one, readers have access to a total of 600 unique and flavorful recipes.

This cookbook gives the reader the option to save a little time, change the flavor, or use what’s on hand. Through a helpful, highly visual decision map--filled with delicious food photography--readers can take one recipe and explore three possible alternatives. For example, in Chicken Taco with Mango Salsa: Cooking Light Cooking On the Fly shows readers how to save a little time by using jarred salsa instead of making the homemade kind, how to change the flavor by substituting pineapple for mangoes; and how to use beef instead of chicken if that’s all the cook has on hand. Readers will quickly find options that best suit their immediate weeknight needs.

This book highlights how cooks today improvise based on what they have on hand, how much time they have, or their individual taste preferences. Cooking Light Cooking On the Fly solves kitchen dilemmas by offering more options and showing cooks who may be stuck in a rut how to easily create flavorful, surprising dishes.
