Cook This Book: Techniques That Teach and Recipes to Repeat

Product Information

Even though that particular recipe is a miss, imo, it sort of illustrates what this book is all about - everything is just a little more or different than it initially might seem to be, and mostly successfully so. I think that anyone who is even curious about learning how to approach a kitchen should get this and cook through it. I used a can of lovely tuna belly and agree with the header notes that it's worth splurging on the good stuff here as you can really appreciate both the flavor and texture. Molly's expertise in writing recipes for home cooks who don't want to stand in the kitchen for hours is really on display in this volume. I had the best tasting homemade sourdough bread perfumed generously with garden rosemary to make this open faced sandwich using end of season garden tomatoes and lemons from our yard.

in her butter-colored kitchen while filming her hit YouTube series Hit The Kitch, a casual, never too serious but always educational cooking show. They are wrapped up in the autumn package that is The Friday Night Ritual, as we catch up on the week’s news, make plans for the weekend and listen to jazz, to be served with a comfy red wine (in this case a Nero d”Avola). Came out great, but I would highly recommend that you start with much less salt than she suggests and adjust to your own tastes.Pork Sausages with Mustardy Lentils and Celery” really worked for me because the celery was sliced *very* thinly and tossed with lemon, parsley, and oil, a slightly tart and crisp relish. And the instructions to turn off the heat and then add the celery makes this an entry level stir fry hard to mess up!

Cook This Book' is a new kind of foundational cookbook from Molly Baz, who's here to teach you absolutely everything she knows and equip you with the tools to become a better, less stressed, more efficient cook. Even my boyfriend who is a fried chicken fiend (and hardly gets it, so anytime he does he is very happy) loved the brussels sprouts more (and he hardly cares for those normally)!Cooking nuts in oil/cooking an oil for salad dressing is an interesting technique I hadn’t done before. Additionally, there is a feeling that the author is trying too hard to be hip or edgy or something and those instances can be pretty cringe. The photography is styled perfectly, typography is beautiful and fun, and it’s written just like Molly Baz talks abbreviations and all.
