The Art of Simple Food
The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution | Alice Waters
8 posts | 7 read | 14 to read
Perhaps more responsible than anyone for the revolution in the way we eat, cook, and think about food, Alice Waters has single-handedly chang[ed] the American palate according to the New York Times. Her simple but inventive dishes focus on a passion for flavor and a reverence for locally produced, seasonal foods. With an essential repertoire of timeless, approachable recipes chosen to enhance and showcase great ingredients, The Art of Simple Food is an indispensable resource for home cooks. Here you will find Alices philosophy on everything from stocking your kitchen, to mastering fundamentals and preparing delicious, seasonal inspired meals all year long. Always true to her philosophy that a perfect meal is one thats balanced in texture, color, and flavor, Waters helps us embrace the seasons bounty and make the best choices when selecting ingredients. Fill your market basket with pristine produce, healthful grains, and responsibly raised meat, poultry, and seafood, then embark on a voyage of culinary rediscovery that reminds us that the most gratifying dish is often the least complex. From the Hardcover edition.

Sweet corn soup from Alice Waters‘ The Art of Simple Food, which is a favorite of mine, and a peach and blueberry cobbler from a recipe I got decades ago from the Martha Stewart Living magazine. Blurb on the back says it‘s from August 2001!

Aimeesue @Tamra Almost hyper seasonal! There‘s like 3 weeks where peaches, blueberries, and corn are at peak ripeness and deliciousness together. 😂 8mo
Aimeesue @LeahBergen 10/10 can recommend! I adore peaches 🍑 8mo

@AnotherMissBennet thanks for the tag!

1. I don't remember if I have ever bought a book after borrowing it, but my sister bought me both the tagged one and The Picnic after I kept, as she put ir, coveting them when I went to her house, LOL!
2. Yes! I am now in the habit of reading a little from each book I am currently working on each day (or nearly) due to the readalongs.

Indulging in a small cup of chai - one of my favorite hot beverage treats - while meal planning on this unusually cool, overcast day. #teaandbooks #cookbooks

Can't help but keep thinking of my Texan friends who are trapped in their homes right now. 😢 Their streets are flooded, but luckily the water has stayed out of their homes so far.

I need to start cooking the dishes I'm bringing for Thanksgiving, but first I have to admire my cookbook & current read. Aren't they the perfect pair? Here's hoping the spinach gratin I'm making from Waters' book works just as well. #litsycooks

I-read-and-eat Spinach gratin sounds devine 😍 8y
BooksForYears I'm using the same cookbook for some of my dishes! 🙌🙌 8y
Faibka Sounds lovely, happy thanksgiving! 😊🦃 8y

This is a great cookbook but the writing is so nice I used to sit and read bits of it for fun. It's so calming and lovely. Very basic and simple recipes but they all sounded so good that I wanted everything she included. And now I'm hungry!

Bonus points for the pear reference.

Readable, charming, and informative without being preachy with regard to locally sourced food. This would be a really great starter cookbook - for yourself or as a gift.

Love ebooks - a friend recommends you a book and you download it from your library in one fell swoop. Getting ready to feel some ways about food.
