Food52 Simply Genius: Recipes for Beginners, Busy Cooks & Curious People
$35
More than 150 recipes and variations give you the building blocks of smart, joyful home cooking, and prove that all of us can become genius cooks when we have the right teachers.
Miglore packs the book with helpful visuals (like brilliant doneness charts for everything from chicken to eggs to cake), illustrated step-by-step diagrams to show you smarter ways to prep (handling hot chiles, neatly separating eggs, tricking herbs into staying fresh), and myth-busting truths that make cooking so much more welcoming (no, you don't have to soak your beans before you cook them; no, you don't have to soften butter to make chocolate chip cookies).
