“Our food editors recommend David Tanis Market Cooking as a new kitchen essential.”
—Martha Stewart Living
 
“Tanis has long been one of the best voices on modern American cooking, a gifted chef—25 years at Chez Panisse—and equally gifted writer. His new book is a lovely one, with 200 recipes embedded in almost 500 pages, all geared toward today’s vegetable-driven cuisine. . . . Tanis’s food is deeply flavorful, honest, creative and always, always fun to cook.”
—Los Angeles Times

“A crash course on how to seek out the best, fresh, and simple ingredients, and what to do with them once you have them.”
—Foodandwine.com

“Deciding what to cook based on what looks good at the market only works if you have a roster of simple, accessible recipes for each ingredient at your fingertips. Luckily, that’s exactly what the new book from [David Tanis] delivers here.”
—Epicurious
 
“An inspired collection of ideas that serves as a teaching manual of sorts, with traditionally written recipes, ingredients and steps spelled out, and a more informal description in narrative form of how to prep a dish.”
—Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Tanis invites us to learn deeply about each ingredient and to discover cooking methods and recipes that showcase what makes them special. . . . With wisdom and generosity, Tanis eases us in the direction of more intuitive, more spontaneous cooking. The point of it all is this: Delicious needn’t be complicated. And that’s something that every cook—from beginner to pro—can appreciate.”
—Fine Cooking
 
“A gentle, approachable guide to getting the most out of your [market] haul. . . . [Tanis’s] calm, Jedi-like assurance guides you into making a perfect Tuscan pork roast, Oaxaca-style garlic soup, or a quick harissa recipe that you’ll soon know by heart. There’s a reason that young-gun chefs like Ignacio Mattos, who cooked with Tanis at Chez Panisse, revere him: He’s got The Knowledge.”
—BonAppetit.com
 
“In [Tanis’s] largest and most comprehensive cookbook to date, his words read as patient, funny, and understanding—the ideal companion on your seasonally focused culinary journey. . . . At a time when famous chef-driven cookbooks are becoming more and more like aspirational coffee table books—beautiful but full of eight-hour, six-component recipes you’ll probably never work through—it’s a delight to return to straightforward simplicity and accessibility. . . . In our restaurant-obsessed era, mixed in with Blue Apron conveniences, David Tanis Market Cooking makes a compelling case for staying home and cooking from scratch.
—East Bay Express

“Over 200 confidence-building recipes. . . . Tanis is a wise chef for all seasons.”
—BookPage

“These beautifully simple preparations allow market-fresh vegetables and herbs to shine. . . . An inviting entry to the fundamentals of market cooking.”
—Library Journal
 

“Recipes are simple but deliver. Tanis is an excellent recipe writer as well.”
The Telegraph (UK)

Alice Waters, owner, Chez Panisse, and founder, the Edible Schoolyard Project
