As you know by now, our cookbook is all about cooking with Trader Joe's products.  We weren't brought up with quick and easy cooking, but as our lives grew busier, we knew we had to develop a way to cook that was different from what our mothers had taught us. Enter Trader Joe's!

Ever wonder how those fancy restaurants make fantastic and complex food so efficiently? Well, it all starts at dawn when they start chopping veggies, mixing sauces, and prepping all the ingredients. Then the chefs come in later that day to whip it all together and do their magic.

Think of Trader Joe’s as your “sous chef” or your “prep kitchen.” Use all those unique sauces, mixtures, and prepped ingredients to create great meals in a fraction of the time it would take to do it all from scratch.
