Milk Street: The New Rules

ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR

"Guaranteed to make you a better cook... Simple techniques that will bring more flavor and better results to the table."

"Simple but smart solutions to make cooking a bit easier -- like how to keep dressing from sliding off salads, or how to thicken sauces without adding cream."

"All 200 recipes not only stand alone, but serve to illustrate one of 75 smart cooking rules and hacks that you'll be able to apply when you want to improvise in the kitchen. In the manner of all the best cookbooks, the idea is not just to tell you what to cook, but to teach you how to make meals your own."

"A delightfully easy-to-follow cookbook with a bunch of little secrets -- 200 to be exact. These tips, tricks and techniques are perfect for the home cook who likes to know not only how to make food more delicious, but why a recipe works the way it does."

"This clever collection of savory dishes illustrates 75 rules, such as using copious amounts of herbs to amp up flavor or incorporating mashed potatoes into dough for a tender crumb... offers dishes that feel modern and international... [a] generous and accessible volume... loaded with information on ingredients... and countless useful tips. Plenty of I-never-thought-of-that-moments fill this enticing and instructive book.

"Highly recommend... Delicious recipes and sound techniques to improve and spice up everyday cooking routines."

"Revises standard culinary practices, honoring time-proven techniques while abandoning rigid constraints... Dishes are light, bright, and vegetable-forward... Kimball's writing, unrivaled for clarity and precision, inspires confidence in every home cook."
