Smitten Kitchen Every Day: Triumphant and Unfussy New Favorites: A Cookbook

Deb Perelman, award-winning blogger and New York Times best-selling author of The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook, understands that a happy discovery in the kitchen has the ability to completely change the course of your day. Whether we're cooking for ourselves, for a date night in, for a Sunday supper with friends, or for family on a busy weeknight, we all want recipes that are unfussy to make with triumphant results. Deb thinks that cooking should be an escape from drudgery. Smitten Kitchen Every Day: Triumphant and Unfussy New Favorites presents more than one hundred impossible-to-resist recipes--almost all of them brand-new, plus a few favorites from her website--that will make you want to stop what you're doing right now and cook. These are real recipes for real people--people with busy lives who don't want to sacrifice flavor or quality to eat meals they're really excited about. You'll want to put these recipes in your Forever Files: Sticky Toffee Waffles (sticky toffee pudding you can eat for breakfast), Everything Drop Biscuits with Cream Cheese, and Magical Two-Ingredient Oat Brittle (a happy accident). There's a (hopelessly, unapologetically inauthentic) Kale Caesar with Broken Eggs and Crushed Croutons, a Mango Apple Ceviche with Sunflower Seeds, and a Grandma-Style Chicken Noodle Soup that fixes everything. You can make Leek, Feta, and Greens Spiral Pie, crunchy Brussels and Three Cheese Pasta Bake that tastes better with brussels sprouts than without, Beefsteak Skirt Steak Salad, and Bacony Baked Pintos with the Works (as in, giant bowls of beans that you can dip into like nachos). And, of course, no meal is complete without cake (and cookies and pies and puddings): Chocolate Peanut Butter Icebox Cake (the icebox cake to end all icebox cakes), Pretzel Linzers with Salted Caramel, Strawberry Cloud Cookies, Bake Sale Winning-est Gooey Oat Bars, as well as the ultimate Party Cake Builder--four one-bowl cakes for all occasions with mix-and-match frostings (bonus: less time spent doing dishes means everybody wins). Written with Deb's trademark humor and gorgeously illustrated with her own photographs, Smitten Kitchen Every Day is filled with what are sure to be your new favorite things to cook. contents cover title page copyright also by Deb Perelman dedication against drudgery BREAKFAST deli rye english muffins granola biscotti jam-bellied bran scones baked oatmeal with caramelized pears and vanilla cream spinach, mushroom, and goat cheese slab frittata everything drop biscuits with cream cheese ricotta blini with honey, orange, and sea salt loaded breakfast potato skins sticky toffee waffles raspberry hazelnut brioche bostock polenta-baked eggs with corn, tomato, and fontina magical two-ingredient oat brittle flipped crispy egg taco with singed greens alex’s bloody mary shrimp cocktail perfect blueberry muffins SALADS cauliflower wedge mango apple ceviche with sunflower seeds potatoes and asparagus gribiche winter slaw with farro smashed cucumber salad with salted peanuts and wasabi peas sushi takeout cobb kale caesar with broken eggs and crushed croutons charred corn succotash with lime and crispy shallots whitefish and pickled cucumber salad fennel, pear, celery, and hazelnut salad fall-toush salad with delicata squash and brussels sprouts carrot salad with tahini, crisped chickpeas, and salted pistachios SOUPS AND STEWS red lentil soup, dal style pea tortellini in parmesan broth mini–matzo ball soup with horseradish and herbs roasted tomato soup with broiled cheddar cucumber yogurt gazpacho with mint, almonds, and grapes spiced carrot and pepper soup with a couscous swirl grandma-style chicken noodle soup manhattan-style clams with fregola SANDWICHES, TARTS, AND FLATBREADS broccoli melts artichoke and parmesan galette leek, feta, and greens spiral pie grilled yogurt flatbreads corn, bacon, and arugula pizza roasted tomato picnic sandwich a very simple pizza dough winter squash flatbread with hummus and za’atar a dense, grainy daily bread VEGETABLE MAINS halloumi roast with eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes parmesan dutch baby with creamed mushrooms crispy tofu and broccoli with sesame-peanut pesto fried green plantains with avocado black bean salsa broccoli, cheddar, and wild rice fritters wild mushroom shepherd’s pie spring fried barley with a sesame sizzled egg zucchini-stuffed zucchini with sorta salsa verde romesco, chickpea, and smashed egg bowl dry-rub sweet potato steaks with green bean slaw tomato and gigante bean bake / pizza beans my go-to garlic bread cacio e pepe potatoes anna caramelized cabbage risotto mujadara-stuffed cabbage with minted tomato sauce spaghetti pangrattato with crispy eggs brussels and three cheese pasta bake one-pan farro with tomatoes MEAT MAINS brick hens with charred lemon siberian pelmeni crispy short rib carnitas with sunset slaw quick sausage, kale, and crouton sauté smoky sheet pan chicken with cauliflower chicken and rice, street cart style grilled squid with chickpeas, chiles, and lemon meatballs marsala with egg noodles and chives beefsteak skirt steak salad with blue cheese and parsley basil vinaigrette pork tenderloin agrodolce with squash rings sizzling beef bulgogi tacos miso maple ribs with roasted scallions bacony baked pintos with the works SWEETS cookies two thick, chewy oatmeal raisin chocolate chip mega-cookies strawberry cloud cookies double coconut meltaways olive oil shortbread with rosemary and chocolate chunks pretzel linzers with salted caramel bakery-style butter cookies tarts and pies wintry apple bake with double ginger crumble julie’s punked strawberry tart chocolate pecan slab pie caramelized plum tartlets apricot pistachio squares bake sale winning-est gooey oat bars cake marble bundt cake the smeteneh küchen/ sour cream coffee cake banana bread roll marzipan petit four cake chocolate peanut butter icebox cake the party cake builder puddings, frozen things, etc. blackout brownie waffle sundae lemon meringue pie smash cheesecake semifreddo with gingersnaps and cranberries danish rice pudding with cherry black pepper sauce peach melba popsicles toasted marshmallow milkshake cannoli zeppole APPS, SNACKS, AND PARTY FOOD kale-dusted pecorino popcorn herb and garlic baked camembert chopped liver on rye, roumanian steakhouse style mom’s bread bowl with spinach liptauer and pickled red onions crushed olives with almonds, celery, and parmesan garden gin and tonic with cucumber, lime, and mint pomegranate and orange peel fizz acknowledgments measurements a guide for special menus index NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From the best-selling author of The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook —this everyday cookbook is “filled with fun and easy ... recipes that will have you actually looking forward to hitting the kitchen at the end of a long work day” ( Bustle ).
