ABOUT THE BIG BOOK OF DINNER

What should we make for dinner?

Melissa Clark has spent decades helping home cooks answer that question. Her newest cookbook is her biggest take on dinner yet: 
175 recipes, 150 variations and the lessons and techniques that help cooks make them their own.

The Big Book of Dinner is published by Clarkson Potter and officially arrives November 17.

At Hemlock, you'll get a first taste — and your own signed copy — before it hits shelves.
