Cat Cora, the most fearsome of all the Iron Chefs, has recently released her newest cookbook, Cooking From the Hip: Fast, Easy, Phenomenal Meals. The recipes contained therein are divided into four sections: fast, easy, fun and phenomenal. But, everything is designed with the amateur chef in mind. The Early Show has posted several recipes online, which you may view here.

Cora actually appeared on the show Monday to discuss said recipes as well as Chefs for Humanity, a non-profit group she founded that sends food and chefs to hurricane-devastated Mississippi and Louisiana. As soon as a clip of the interview is made available, we’ll post it.
