The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook
The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook | Deb Perelman
NATIONAL BESTSELLERWinner of the IACP Julia Child First Book Award*Named one of Cooking Lightmagazines Top 100 Cookbooks of the Last 25 YearsThe long-awaited cookbook by Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchenhome cook, photographer, and celebrated food blogger. Deb Perelman loves to cook. She isnt a chef or a restaurant ownershes never even waitressed. Cooking in her tiny Manhattan kitchen was, at least at first, for special occasionsand, too often, an unnecessarily daunting venture. Deb found herself overwhelmed by the number of recipes available to her. Have you ever searched for the perfect birthday cake on Google? Youll get more than three million results. Where do you start? What if you pick a recipe thats downright bad? So Deb founded her award-winning blog, Smitten Kitchen, on the premise that cooking should be a pleasure, and that the results of your labor canand shouldbe delicious . . . every time. Deb is a firm believer that there are no bad cooks, just bad recipes. She has dedicated herself to creating and finding the best of the best and adapting the recipes for the everyday cook. And now, with the same warmth, candor, and can-do spirit her blog is known for, Deb presents her first cookbook: more than 100 recipesalmost entirely new, plus a few favorites from the siteall gorgeously illustrated with hundreds of her beautiful color photographs. The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook is all about approachable, uncompromised home cooking. Here youll find better uses for your favorite vegetables: asparagus blanketing a pizza; ratatouille dressing up a sandwich; cauliflower masquerading as pesto. These are recipes youll bookmark and use so often they become your own, recipes youll slip to a friend who wants to impress her new in-laws, and recipes with simple ingredients that yield amazing results in a minimum amount of time. Deb tells you her favorite summer cocktail; how to lose your fear of cooking for a crowd; and the essential items you need for your own kitchen. From salads and slaws that make perfect side dishes (or a full meal) to savory tarts and galettes; from Mushroom Bourguignon to Chocolate Hazelnut Crepe Cake, Deb knows just the thing for a Tuesday night, or your most special occasion.From the Hardcover edition.

My first #MtCookbook recipe for this year is this delicious cross between a coffee cake and sweet cornbread from The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook. Usually I‘m not a fan of sweet cornbread, but in this case it adds complexity to the coffee cake. Additionally, I switched the blueberries for blackberries and the lemon zest for orange because on snowy subzero weekends I bake with what is available. It was delicious for breakfast this morning!

New Smitten Kitchen cookbook coming soon!

I love her website and usually buy the books in support. I haven‘t cooked enough from the second one, but I‘ll probably pre-order this one anyway!

Her 1st cookbook is tagged here for anyone interested. I couldn‘t find the new one in the database yet!

SW-T I liked her first book. Good to see she‘s got another one out. 3y

I hosted my in-laws for Mother‘s Day brunch today and made this ridiculously rich spinach and cheese strata from the Smitten Kitchen website. It was *chef‘s kiss* delicious and the best part was making it the day before and just popping it in the oven for an hour before serving. Happy Mother‘s Day to all the mom littens out there!

Ok friends, I need some advice. Now that I have a house & some free time, I'd like to a.) up my cooking game, and b.) buy some cookbooks to have on hand. Hit me with the titles you like & use regularly-- I want to make an investment I'll keep using. No food concerns/allergies here, but I'm not big on cooking meat & I'm particularly interested in starting to bake bread. I'll probably test-drive selections from the library, so where should I start?

callielafleur I love the pioneer woman cookbook. And Betty Crocker still rules! 7y

Tamra Lynne Rosetta Kasper‘s Splendid Table books are great, very well tested and easy to follow. (Not strictly vegetarian) I have LOVED her NPR show. She is retiring and I am crossing my fingers she‘ll still be hosting the Thanksgiving show. It‘s been tradition for me to cook & laugh while people call in with disasters & crises.

Here's the spread from my son's fourth birthday party today: pulled pork in the crock pot with Martin's potato rolls, caprese salad with kosher salt and good olive oil, mixed greens salad with candied-spiced walnuts and Gorgonzola, two kinds of vinaigrette, and lots of fresh fruit. A good time was had by all.

First night home after our travels and I had to make some of our favorite mushroom bourguignon 🍄🙌🏻. Served over creamy parmesan polenta. A new spin on the French classic. It's a warm and comforting dish, and a huge hit at dinner parties as well! Hopefully this helps fight off my jetlag!

Oh, also this cookbook and blog are very dear to my heart. Deb never fails me. Any other Smitten Kitchen devotees out there? What's your favorite SK recipe!?
