Introducing Fresh Tastes from A Well-Seasoned Kitchen: Order Now for the Holidays!
I am very excited to present Fresh Tastes, the follow-up to my critically acclaimed A Well-Seasoned Kitchen. I've gathered a unique collection of recipes that showcase how fresh ingredients and new ideas can be combined to deliver extraordinarily flavorful dishes guaranteed to please all palates.


Fans of A Well-Seasoned Kitchen will recall that my first cookbook was inspired by my mom Sally Clayton's love of cooking and entertaining. My second book, Fresh Tastes, was born from creating dishes with a new and "fresh" perspective. Just as in A Well-Seasoned Kitchen, Fresh Tastes takes the "complicated" out of cooking and entertaining, and highlights using fresh ingredients when and where possible. Readers will enjoy:
  • 173 recipes - a combination of my own spin on dishes shared with me by friends and family, as well as flavorful creations direct from my own kitchen; 
  • 65 beautiful color photographs of the finished dishes plus 18 process shots of key preparation steps, by renown food and beverage photographer, Rick Souders and food stylist Stephen Shern;  
  • My personal reflections on lessons learned both in the kitchen and from inspiring people and places along the way; 
  • Indispensable cooking tips, serving suggestions and a helpful menu section for entertaining. 

Each recipe in Fresh Tastes was evaluated by a multitude of testers across the country, with varying levels of expertise, appliances, and even at different altitudes. From updated classics to new, contemporary fare, each recipe was chosen for its flavor, reliability, accessible ingredients, ease of preparation and sophisticated presentation. Fresh Tastes inspires readers to create fresh, delicious dishes for weekday meals or formal entertaining, empowering creativity in the kitchen everyday.
