Chef Lena Tanguep believes a great meal shouldn't require a great deal of stress. As the creator and host of Lena's Everyday Gourmet, she shares her philosophy of simple ingredients, gourmet results with home cooks who want to eat beautifully on an ordinary weeknight.
Her kitchen is warm, personal, and wide-ranging — from slow-braised short ribs and roasted branzino to a Senegalese-style fish yassa. Every recipe comes with the small details that make the difference, explained clearly and without fuss.
