Work detailsThe Smitten Kitchen Cookbook by Deb Perelman
None. I like to putter in the kitchen. I also like to putter on the computer. And thus, I found the Smitten Kitchen blog. It has been a favorite place to visit since the early days of the blog. Deb's perspective on life, small NYC kitchens, motherhood, and above all good food prepared with good ingredients is wonderful. Even though I've read the blog for years, and cooked many a meal either based on or inspired by one of her posts, and had many of her recipes in my overflowing file and cooking repertoire, and even though we're giving away, selling, donating possessions by the gazillion, when this book came out, I HAD to buy it. The recipes are great, the photographs gorgeous. It is a good book for the inexperienced cook to learn to branch out, and a good book from the experienced cook to cull new ideas and inspirations. Thank you, Deb. Here's to many more years of eating, reading, cooking, and delight. (  ) bookczuk | Apr 11, 2013 |  Love the blog, love the cookbook! Lots of things I want to make in here! (  ) wwrawson | Mar 31, 2013 | Just like the blog--a wide range of interesting recipes that are well tested, well described, and beautifully photographed. ( ) nicole_a_davis | Jan 8, 2013 | The Smitten Kitchen is hands down my favorite food blog. Her palate is so similar to my own (she likes eggs far more than I do) that I often feel each recipe was written just for me. Her writing style is so personable that she feels lifelong friend. And don't even get me started on the photography. Everything I love about her blot is right there in her new cookbook along with somany new recipes I hardly knew where to start. I surprised myself by starting with the Harvest Chicken with Grapes and Olives. Followed shortly by Maple Bacon Biscuits, Blue Cheese and Black Pepper Gougères, Linguine with Cauliflower Pesto, and Pancetta White Bean and Swiss Chard Pot Pies, and Cheddar Swirl Breakfast Buns along with a few others. I've loved them all and plan to make them again soon. Just as soon as I make the other dozen or so "I need to make this right now" recipes. ( ) woodsathome | Nov 27, 2012 | Deb Perelman finally brings her personable recipes to hard-copy, delighting her loyal blog readers. The book is more of what we've come to love about Smitten Kitchen, adorable pictures of Jacob included. For those among us who read cookbooks cover-to-cover like novels, this is a gem, chock to the brim with anecdotes and warm advice. Charming, accessible, yet bursting with originality, I'd be hard-pressed to find a recipe within that I didn't want to make. Gorgeous photography, very consistent formatting, and set apart by thoughtful details, like lay-flat binding. More than worth the wait. (  ) kleahey | Nov 2, 2012 | no reviews | add a review
