by Christopher Kimball

Overview

Cook with confidence every day! Dig into 365 essential recipes and tons of foundational resources—from the James Beard Award winning team at Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street.

This is Milk Street’s new and comprehensive guide to today’s recipe repertoire, full of fresh flavors and simple yet game-changing techniques. This is everyday cooking you actually want to cook every day.
 
Milk Street 365 is both inspiration and reference for the contemporary kitchen, with recipes that will change the way you cook at home==from soups, stews and salads to flatbreads, pizzas and noodles. Dishes include:
 

• Velvety Turkish Scrambled Eggs with Yogurt
• Vietnamese Pork and Scallion Omelette
• Butter Beans in Tomato Sauce with Dill and Feta
• Thai Green Curry Chicken and Vegetables
• Taiwanese Five-Spice Pork with Rice
• Garlic-Rosemary Burgers with Taleggio Sauce
• Cheese-Crisped Pinto Bean Quesadillas
• Plus deep dives into ingredients, pantry basics, and foundational techniques that every cook should master.

 
You’ll learn better ways to roast chicken (hint: flat birds crisp better, and seasonings stay in place when slid under the skin) and discover bold finishes for chops and steaks (think a slather of cilantro-lime sauce or a smear of miso butter).
 
Here, fundamental recipes and their nearly endless variations are paired with lessons on the art and science of good cooking. Sidebars and charts deliver valuable guidance about the tools, ingredients and techniques that comprise the modern kitchen. 
 
It’s a 360-degree approach for all 365 days of the year.

★ 03/01/2024

The James Beard- and Emmy Award-winning team at Milk Street is back with a collection of 365 recipes that showcase their bold, flavor-forward approach to cooking. The focus of the book is on the savory side of cooking, with recipes for everything from salads to burgers and sandwiches. Viewers of Milk Street's popular PBS cooking show of the same name will recognize some of the recipes offered, including their game-changing recipe for fettuccine alfredo. Along with the recipes are tips and techniques for shaking up one's cooking methods, including using acids in cooking, correctly blanching vegetables, knowing which knives are necessary, and five secrets to world class pizza. Building-block recipes for things like homemade mayonnaise are also included, and even a tried-and-true old standby like slow-roasted tomatoes gets a Milk Street twist—add some tomato paste to boost the rich tomato flavor—that sets it apart from its competitors. VERDICT Both newbie cooks and old hands in the kitchen will want a copy of this smartly written cookbook that delivers a year's worth of delicious dishes and invaluable culinary insight.—John Charles
