Mr. Food-Fun Kitchen Tips (And Recipes, Too!) - Hardcover

Art Ginsburg has been appearing as Mr. Food for more than fifteen years, and his show is the largest food news insert in the nation, seen in more than four hundred cities. He has sold almost two million of his Mr. Food cookbooks. A native of Troy, New York, he now resides in South Florida, where he produces his syndicated television show.

Mr. Food's culinary tricks and time savers, ranging from safe food storage to efficient refrigerator operation and including short-cut recipes (Fruit Trifle made with instant pudding and canned fruit; Quick and Easy Pizza, on English muffins), are mostly suited to novices. Some hints come with a caveat: suggesting that cooks protectively coat their hands with oil when handling hot peppers, Ginsburg must then warn them to be careful when chopping the peppers with a knife. Most of the advice here is, however, safety-minded and solid-if familiar. Some tips are stellar, e.g., the suggestion to freeze leftover coffee in ice cube trays for use in iced coffee or to cool down a cup of too-hot brew.
