I was a little put out at first by the lack of an ingredient list for the recipes. His work has appeared in countless newspapers and magazines, and he is a regular on the Today show. I have made several things from the book and will make more. Melon soup with pancetta, simplified sesame shrimp toasts, deconstructed raspberry souffles, and broiled eggplant with miso walnut vinaigrette are all flagged in my book. Our star rating averaged out to 4 stars but we had a few 2 star and 3 star ratings to balance out the 5 stars.
The recipes are all made with fresh, easy-to-find ingredients. This is a little difficult to use. Each of the recipes in this book make it easy for readers to choose meals made from fresh foods produced on local farms.

I had planned to use some cauliflower also in my box to make croutons for the soup but came across Charred Cauliflower Quesadillas on SmittenKitchen. Resounding success — all of it. So delicious! Easy to put together. The quick char on the tortilla put it over the top. Not sure if our plums were just too sour, but we did not like this at all. I am a big fan of steak, I don't think with plums is for me.

Aug 12, Julie rated it really liked it Shelves: My husband brought home this book a few weeks ago, and we have been using it regularly since.
The recipes are creative and sometimes surprising, and always good. You really can make these recipes in about 20 minutes, if you have the right ingredients on hand. Bittman begins this book by telling you how to stock your pantry so that you will have the right ingredients on hand. The My husband brought home this book a few weeks ago, and we have been using it regularly since. The book is organized by season, so you can quickly figure out how to cook with foods that will be in season and therefore, are more likely to have been produced locally or at least regionally and can more easily find ingredients in the stores.
So those are my top reasons. And as for 1, I should say that my husband is intractably expres and something of a food snob. And yet without fail, he likes the the recipes, too. He just strips down the recipes to their bare bones, reducing significantly the prepping and cooking times.
But I have one more reason — and this will appeal to those who, like me, are kitchen-stupid. The recipes will teach you about how food works. Because these are stripped-down recipes, you discover what, underneath all the other added flavors and components, are the most basic elements to making a dish work. If you can only use 5 ingredients, which are the required ones? These recipes get right to that core of flavor combinations and basic recipe bittmann.
Instead, Bittman just writes about sentences about experss to whip up the recipe. You have to read the paragraph to figure out what ingredients you need to gather. Reading through the whole paragraph at once helps you figure out what kitchem going to be doing, and enables you to plan exprrss prep time more quickly.
As busy working parents, my partner and I are super grateful for a reliably delicious express cookbook. Jan 08, Experience Bittmzn rated it it was amazing.
