From Devin Connell, the chef and founder of the popular website, Crumb, comes a cookbook designed to help you cook-and eat-with spontaneity and joy.
Devin Connell has spent her entire life in the food industry. Whether she was cooking with her Belgian grandmother, baking bread with her dad at the family's business, ACE bakery, or skipping summer camp to start a cookie company (just like any normal, well-adjusted teenager, right?), Devin never considered the possibility that the focus of her life would be anything other than food. As they say, when you know, you know.
When she opened Delica Kitchen, a cafe and bakery of her own, and then started a family, Devin realized that her cooking style needed to change. She was cooking for a crowd now-customers, friends, children and extended family. But Devin still wanted to maintain the happiness that being in the kitchen always brought to her life. And over the years, Devin learned that she didn't have to meal-plan, that with the right basics and mindset, she could get a meal on the table for her and her kids that was bursting with flavor, yet still doable for a weeknight. She started her lifestyle platform, Crumb, as a forum to celebrate the power of food to bring people pleasure, and to bring them together. To share expert insights, practical tips and tools, and straightforward recipes to make easy, wholesome family meals a reality. And now, she's developed over 100 brand-new recipes to bring to readers worldwide.
Everything that you find in Conveniently Delicious is meant to bring you comfort, amusement and perhaps a little spark of "huh-I hadn't thought of that." Devin's mission is clear. She wants to leave you feeling a little lighter about mealtimes than when you started ... even if most of the time she's talking about how to make you feel full. DEVIN CONNELL is the founder of the popular website Crumb, as well as a cookbook author, recipe developer and Food Network Canada personality. She co-owns Delica Kitchen, a catering company and small group of restaurants in Toronto. A wife and mother of two boys, she's no stranger to a messy kitchen.
