Overview

"After writing two dessert books, I'm really happy to finally put together a collection that includes not only desserts but a lot of my favorite savory food recipes that I've been copying down for friends and dinner guests for years. Many of the recipes in this book are things I learned to cook as a child and I'm still making today. But I'm also always experimenting with new ideas and different combinations of ingredients.
The recipes I've gathered here reflect the all-American sensibilities of my bakery and my home. My style is the same whether I'm making something sweet or savory—simple steps, fresh ingredients, and classic combinations."
—Allysa Torey

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

This cheery cookbook celebrates the timeless appeal of homemade chicken and chocolate cake on the kitchen table. Torey, owner of the Magnolia Bakery and author of The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook and More from Magnolia, has built her culinary career on simple, classic recipes. Here the focus moves away from cookies and cupcakes (recently namedropped in a Saturday Night Live sketch) to the dishes she makes in her own home in upstate New York. Colorful photographs depict Torey, her partner and collie dogs in their country-style house amid vintage textiles and tableware. Torey is a believer in fresh, seasonal eating. Her homey, elemental dishes span the seasons, from light summery Eggplant with Red and Yellow Cherry Tomato Sauce to an autumnal Butternut Squash Soup with Apple and Onion. Dinners are divided up into no-fuss "weekday" and more complicated "weekend" categories. She's also included the formulas for two of her famous cupcakes: Chocolate with Butterscotch Frosting and Orange Vanilla. Torey goes easy on the text, offering minimal instruction, but these are straightforward recipes to follow, and the result is a tasty blend of nostalgia and innovation. (Oct.)

Library Journal

In 1996, Appel and Torey opened Magnolia Bakery in New York City's Greenwich Village, and they are the authors of The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook. Of course, eventually they parted ways, with Appel opening her own Buttercup Bake Shop six years ago. She is also the author of an earlier Buttercup cookbook, and now she presents more of her favorite homey treats, from Peanut Butter Cheesecake to Peach Pandowdy. Recommended for larger baking collections. Torey's (More from Magnolia) new book is not a dessert collection but an eclectic selection of savory recipes ranging from contemporary dishes such as Yellow Beet, Walnut, and Gorgonzola Salad to old-fashioned classics like Chicken Kiev and Three-Can Tuna Casserole, followed by a short chapter devoted to sweets. There are color photographs throughout of both the recipes and the author at her country house in upstate New York ( la the Barefoot Contessa). Fans of Torey's bakery and earlier cookbooks may be disappointed that she has turned away from desserts here; for larger cookery collections and other libraries where her first two books have been especially popular.
