Liz is owner of Creative Feasts and cookbook author.  Cooking an entire meal on a single sheet pan is the latest cooking trend. Spreading your ingredients out on a large pan is simple and gives your meal a crispy, colorful, and intensely flavorful result. Whether you are cooking for a crowd or for 2, this method will meet your needs. Liz will demonstrate recipes and give you ideas for many more combinations you will want to try on your own.
