Simple, easy recipes that can be adapted to whatever ingredients are on hand. Not exhaustive by any means, but a decent introduction to some basic dishes that can inspire improvisational cooking. ( )

Of all this author's books (a few which I have read and others, perused), this one is the most straight-forward. It is the one I would own if I could find a second-hand copy. After an extensive cull of cookbooks about 5 years ago, I declared that "I'm not buying anymore cook books". This one is the first I've yearned to have.

The directions are crisply composed, the ingredients lists are neither exotic nor expensive. By my kitchen's standard, I would have most of the supplies already on hand. Additional love for the preparation being flexible and never tedious. I didn't read absolutely every recipe, but stopped at the ones which had intriguing ingredients or standard items used very creatively. So many of the recipes are intuitive and as the book title claims, fulfills a minimalist's dream. ( )

A book I keep coming back to. It lives up to its subtitle. ( )

Not too useful in our home. Mark Bittman has so many other cookbooks that I don't really find myself ever tempted to even browse this one.
