LICK YOUR PLATE

Ive always had a fantasy about sisters cooking for me. Lisa and Julie make it come true. Like so many men, theres only one room in my house where I know what Im doing. And its not the kitchen. Thank goodness these ladies can show me how amazing the kitchen can be (and how much more valuable it is than the room Im better in). This is a fun, readable book with great, doable recipesdelicious, easy, largely no-muss, no-fussfor real food, the kind mom said would put hair on my chest (she left out the section of meals that put hair on your head). If I werent married, I would marry these women. It would be illegal in most places and Id go to prison, but the food would be more than worth it. I love to eat. I love great food. I love these girls. I ate this book. Jason Alexander, actor

What Lick Your Plate will do is save you time with invaluable tips and set you up for success with an arsenal of inspiring, guaranteed-great recipes that will take you through breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Why should you trust us? Were sisters (and not the how-do-you-solve-a-problem-like-Maria variety, but the give-me-back-my-sweater kind) who love working and cooking up fun together. From Lisas Easy-Bake Oven days, she has been experimenting in the kitchen, developing her bionic palate and our original recipes, while Julie hasnt stopped writing since she banged out her first chain letter on her IBM Selectric I typewriter. Together, with Lisa firmly planted at the stove and Julie at her laptop, were a sister act whose goal is to bring easy eats and laughs to your table.

With six teenagers between us, we understand time crunches, insatiable appetites and picky palates. We create cookbooks (Bite Me, Bite Me Too and now, Lick Your Plate) that speak to home cooks of all levelsreal people with strong appetites to combine food, family, friends and fun. So get ready, because in no time, youre going to have everyone licking their plates.

With you every step (and stir and whisk) of the way,
