Deb Perelman
The long-awaited cookbook by Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchenâ€”home cook, mom, photographer, and celebrated food blogger.,Deb Perelman loves to cook. Itâ€™s as simple as that. She isnâ€™t a chef or a restaurant ownerâ€”sheâ€™s never even waitressed. Cooking in her tiny Manhattan kitchen was, at least at first, for special occasionsâ€”and, too often, an unnecessarily daunting venture. Deb found herself overwhelmed by the number of recipes available to her. Have you ever searched for the perfect birthday cake on Google? Youâ€™ll get more than three million results. How do you choose? Where do you start? What if you pick a recipe thatâ€™s downright bad?,So Deb founded her award-winning blog, smittenkitchen.com, on the premise that cooking should be a pleasure, and that the results of your labor canâ€”and should beâ€”delicious...every time. Deb is a firm believer that there are no bad cooks, just bad recipes. She has dedicated herself to finding the best of the best and adapting them for the everyday cookâ€”the ones with little time to spare, little money to burn on unpronounceable ingredients, and little help in the kitchen. And now, with the same warmth, candor, and can-do spirit her blog is known for, Deb presents her first cookbookâ€”more than 100 new recipes, plus a few favorites from her site, all gorgeously illustrated with hundreds of Debâ€™s beautiful color photographs.,The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook ,is all about approachable, uncompromised home cooking: stepped-up comfort foods, stewy dishes for windy winter afternoons, an apple cake that will answer all questions: â€œWhat should my new signature dessert be?â€ â€œWhat is always welcome at a potluck?â€ â€œWhat did Deb consume almost single-handedly a week after having a baby?â€ These are the recipes you bookmark and use so often they become your own; recipes you slip to a friend who wants to impress her new in-laws; and recipes with simple ingredients that yield amazing results in a minimum amount of time. Deb tells you how to host a brunch and still sleep inâ€”plus what to make for it!â€”and the essential items you need for your own kitchen. From salads and slaws that make perfect side dishes (or a full meal) to savory tarts and pizzas; from Mushroom Bourguignon to Pancetta, White Bean and Swiss Chard Pot Pies; from Buttered Popcorn Cookies to Chocolate Hazelnut Layer Cake, Deb knows just the thing for a Tuesday night, or your most special occasion.
