Summary

"You want your kitchen to be the heartbeat of the home, but you're overwhelmed and out of breath trying to make it happen. Meals are on a never-ending loop, and you don't have time to prepare dinner, much less enjoy it. Popular Lazy Genius expert and bestselling author Kendra Adachi is here to help! Packed with proven Lazy Genius principles, the book will teach you to: name what matters to you in the kitchen--whether that's flavor, convenience, or something else entirely; feed your people with efficiency and ease; apply a simple, actionable five-step process--prioritize, essentialize, organize, personalize, and systemize--to multiple areas of your kitchen, empowering you to enjoy your kitchen the way you've always wanted. You don't need magical recipes, fancy gadgets, or daunting lists to follow to the letter; you just need a framework that works whether you're cooking for one or for twenty. Straightforward, strategic, soulful, and a little sassy, The Lazy Genius Kitchen will turn your hardest-working room into your favorite one, too."--Provided by publisher.
