Overview

The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook is about deliciousness ... every time. You don't need to be a chef, you don't need special ingredients, you don't even need a big kitchen. Discover every day deliciousness with The Smitten Kitchen Cook Book. There is a half-galley kitchen in New York with just a single counter, a tiny stove, pans stacked high in the corner - yet it has conjured up stews and slaws, salsas and pestos, tatins and cheesecakes. All to-die-for. This is Deb Perelman's kitchen. Deb is an ordinary home cook who believes food should be a pleasure and deliciousness a guarantee. So she founded www.smittenkitchen.com, her award-winning blog, where she concocts, tweaks and obsessively tests the best imaginable recipes for the everyday cook. These are recipes you'll bookmark, share, and make your own, whether it is Courgette Ribbons with Almond Pesto for a summer lunch, Everyday Margherita Pizza for the family, Seared Halibut with Gazpacho Salsa for a weekend dinner, or Tiny But Intense Chocolate Cake for a special treat. 'I'm a longtime fan of the blog and this is a wonderful cookbook' Rachel Khoo, Little Paris Kitchen

Reviews

For four years, Deb Perelman has been blogging her cooking pursuits from her tiny New York City kitchen as a newlywed and then as a new mother. This is the result of hours spent perfecting her own recipes and interpreting those of the best food publications out there. Some of the recipes featured can be complicated, but you have Deb's warm chatter, funny anecdotes, encyclopaedic knowledge of food and cookbooks, cooking, and gorgeous photography getting you through it. She's a farmers' market shopper and hence her blog is completely seasonal, and archived that way as well. You'll see her tackle the impossible-a wedding cake-and the very simple, 'How to Turn a Bucket of Cheap Tomatoes into a Perfect Pot of Sauce.'
