Katie Workman is a gifted cook, a best friend in the kitchen, and a brilliant problem solver. Her Mom 100 Cookbook was named one of the ‘Five Best Weeknight Cookbooks of the past 25 years’ by Cooking Light and a recipe within it was selected by listeners of NPR’s The Splendid Table as one of the ‘20 Best Recipes In The History of The Splendid Table.’ The Mom 100 Cookbook also earned praise from chefs like Ina Garten (“I love the recipes!”) and Bobby Flay (“Perfect . . . to help moms everywhere get delicious meals on the table.”) Katie’s recipes are doable, crowd-pleasing, comforting, flavorful, and family-friendly.

Now with the new and lifesaving Dinner Solved! 100 Ingenious Recipes That Make The Whole Family Happy, Including YOU (Workman; August 18, 2015; $17.95), Katie turns her attention to the biggest problem that every family cook faces: how to make everyone at the table happy without turning into a short-order cook.
Adaptable “Fork in the Road” recipes were one of the most popular features of Katie’s first cookbook and in DINNER SOLVED! they take a star turn. Almost all of the recipes in this book include simple instructions for modification, making it easy to turn one dish into two or more so that everyone at the table—vegetarians, picky eaters, the spice-averse—can enjoy the version that works best for them and, best of all, mom or dad cooks once!

The highly adaptable Fork in the Road recipes in DINNER SOLVED! provide a wealth of solutions to common dining dilemmas:
•Katie shows you how Asian Spareribs can start mild and sweet for less adventurous eaters—and then, in no time, become a zesty second version for spice lovers.
•She shakes up the usual chicken for dinner with Chicken Tikka Masala-ish—and feeds vegetarians, too, by offering a fork where cauliflower is used in place of the chicken.
•Fettuccine with Shrimp and Asparagus is a blueprint for five other easy mix-and-match pasta dinner combinations.
•Katie’s recipe for Spanish-Style Beef Pot Roast includes instructions for reserving the braising liquid and some of the meat to make Spanish Beef and Rice Soup the next day
•Crab Cakes can be enjoyed by crab lovers and vegetarians alike through the ingenious substitution of hearts of palm for crab meat.
•Have all the ingredients on hand? Make the insanely delicious Chocolate-Chunk and Crystallized-Ginger Oatmeal Cookies. Missing ginger or chocolate? Don’t run out to the store—Oatmeal, or Just Chocolate Oatmeal, or Just Ginger Oatmeal, are equally as satisfying.

Through this Fork in the Road concept, DINNER SOLVED! offers indispensible solutions for Morning Food, Snacks & Appetizers, Salads, Soups & Stews, Meat, Chicken, Seafood, One-Dish Meals, Pasta & Sauces, Vegetables, Cookies, Homestyle Desserts, and more!

Katie’s voice is funny, wry, and completely reassuring. Beautiful full-color photographs show every dish. The result: no more cranky eaters, no more dinner table strife, no more unsure or stressed-out cook.

Giada says, “What parent couldn’t use a collection of great-tasting recipes that will make everyone at the table happy—even the picky eaters? Thanks, Katie!”
