Turn your kitchen into the world's best bakery with this collection of 200 sweet and savory baking recipes from the James Beard Award-winning team at Milk Street. "Comprehensive [and] extraordinarily useful." — Booklist , starred review The American baking repertoire may be unparalleled in our claim to pies, biscuits, and cakes.

Loaf cakes that balance the sugar with slightly-bitter rye. Super-creamy Basque cheesecake that requires no water bath. Mexican sweet corn cake made in a blender. Or Catalan biscotti , sticky chocolate cake from Sweden , and crispy spinach and cheese borek from Türkiye.   We also include forgotten American recipes such as maple-glazed hermits and new classics such as peanut butter banana cream pie . And we go beyond sweets to include yeasted breads, savory tarts, pizzas, and flatbreads (some made in a skillet in minutes).   Most of these recipes are easier than you’d think, from beer pretzels to Danish dream cake . But in baking, the little things count—so Milk Street is here to help you avoid pitfalls with recipes that you can count on.   Our promise to you is that you will become the best baker you know!

Preserving by the Pint - Marisa McClellan Cover Art

Preserving by the Pint

Preserving by the Pint Quick Seasonal Canning for Small Spaces from the author of Food in Jars by Marisa McClellan

The perfect follow up to  Food in Jars : More seasonal canning in smaller bites! If most canning recipes seem to yield too much for your small kitchen,  Preserving by the Pint  has smaller—but no less delicious—batches to offer. Food writer and cooking teacher Marisa McClellan discovered that most "vintage" recipes are written to feed a large family, or to use up a farm-size crop, but increasingly, found that smaller batches suited her life better. Working with a quart, a pound, a pint, or a bunch of produce, not a bushel, allows for dabbling in preserving without committing a whole shelf to storing a single type of jam. Preserving by the Pint  is meant to be a guide for saving smaller batches from farmer's markets and produce stands-preserving tricks for stopping time in a jar. McClellan's recipes offer tastes of unusual preserves like: Blueberry Maple JamMustardy Rhubarb ChutneySorrel PestoZucchini Bread and Butter Pickles Organized seasonally, these pestos, sauces, mostardas, chutneys, butters, jams, jellies, and pickles are speedy, too: some take under an hour, leaving you more time to plan your next batch.

Dinner Chez Moi

Dinner Chez Moi 50 French Secrets to Joyful Eating and Entertaining by Elizabeth Bard

Tips, tricks and recipes to make your feasts and fetes more French, from the New York Times bestselling author of Lunch in Paris and Picnic in Provence . When Elizabeth Bard, a New Yorker raised on Twizzlers and instant mac and cheese, fell for a handsome Frenchman and moved to Paris, she discovered a whole new world of culinary delights. First in Paris, then in a tiny village in Provence, Elizabeth explored the markets, incorporating new ingredients and rituals into her everyday meals and routines. After 15 years of cooking in her own French kitchen, making French friends -- and observing her slim and elegant French mother-in-law -- Elizabeth has gathered a treasure trove of information that has radically changed her own eating habits for the better. She realized that what most Americans call "dieting" -- smaller portions, no snacking, a preference for seasonal fruits and vegetables, and limited sugar -- the French simply call "eating." And they do it with pleasure, gusto, and flair. With wit, sound advice, and easy-to-follow recipes, Bard lets her readers in on a range of delightful -- and useful -- French secrets to eating and living well, including hunger as the new foreplay, the top five essential French cooking tools and 15 minute meals popular throughout France, and the concept of benevolent dictatorship: why French kids eat veggies, and how to get yours to eat them, too. Whether you're ready for a complete kitchen transformation or simply looking for dinner party inspiration, Dinner Chez Moi is a fun, practical, and charming how-to guide that will add a dash of joie de vivre to your kitchen -- and your life!

Prune - Gabrielle Hamilton Cover Art

Prune

Prune A Cookbook by Gabrielle Hamilton

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From Gabrielle Hamilton, bestselling author of Blood, Bones & Butter, comes her eagerly anticipated cookbook debut filled with signature recipes from her celebrated New York City restaurant Prune.   NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY PUBLISHERS WEEKLY NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE SEASON BY Time • O: The Oprah Magazine • Bon Appétit • Eater A self-trained cook turned James Beard Award–winning chef, Gabrielle Hamilton opened Prune on New York’s Lower East Side fifteen years ago to great acclaim and lines down the block, both of which continue today. A deeply personal and gracious restaurant, in both menu and philosophy, Prune uses the elements of home cooking and elevates them in unexpected ways. The result is delicious food that satisfies on many levels.     Highly original in concept, execution, look, and feel, the Prune cookbook is an inspired replica of the restaurant’s kitchen binders. It is written to Gabrielle’s cooks in her distinctive voice, with as much instruction, encouragement, information, and scolding as you would find if you actually came to work at Prune as a line cook. The recipes have been tried, tasted, and tested dozens if not hundreds of times. Intended for the home cook as well as the kitchen professional, the instructions offer a range of signals for cooks—a head’s up on when you have gone too far, things to watch out for that could trip you up, suggestions on how to traverse certain uncomfortable parts of the journey to ultimately help get you to the final destination, an amazing dish.   Complete with more than with more than 250 recipes and 250 color photographs, home cooks will find Prune’s most requested recipes—Grilled Head-on Shrimp with Anchovy Butter, Bread Heels and Pan Drippings Salad, Tongue and Octopus with Salsa Verde and Mimosa’d Egg, Roasted Capon on Garlic Crouton, Prune’s famous Bloody Mary (and all 10 variations). Plus, among other items, a chapter entitled “Garbage”—smart ways to repurpose foods that might have hit the garbage or stockpot in other restaurant kitchens but are turned into appetizing bites and notions at Prune.   Featured here are the recipes, approach, philosophy, evolution, and nuances that make them distinctively Prune’s. Unconventional and honest, in both tone and content, this book is a welcome expression of the cookbook as we know it. Praise for Prune   “Fresh, fascinating . . . entirely pleasurable . . . Since 1999, when the chef Gabrielle Hamilton put Triscuits and canned sardines on the first menu of her East Village bistro, Prune, she has nonchalantly broken countless rules of the food world. The rule that a successful restaurant must breed an empire. The rule that chefs who happen to be women should unconditionally support one another. The rule that great chefs don’t make great writers (with her memoir, Blood, Bones & Butter ). And now, the rule that restaurant food has to be simplified and prettied up for home cooks in order to produce a useful, irresistible cookbook. . . . [ Prune ] is the closest thing to the bulging loose-leaf binder, stuck in a corner of almost every restaurant kitchen, ever to be printed and bound between cloth covers. (These happen to be a beautiful deep, dark magenta.)” — The New York Times   “One of the most brilliantly minimalist cookbooks in recent memory . . . at once conveys the thrill of restaurant cooking and the wisdom of the author, while making for a charged reading experience.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Olivia is not here to tell you her whole life story or share some cute memories of cooking in the kitchen with her mom. Sure, she'll give you some of that, but really, why would you be here for that anyway? You should be here to learn how to make some really good food. In Eat (Like) the Rich , Olivia lays down her kitchen commandments, the lessons she's learned from years working as a restaurant chef and private cook for high-end clients. She tells you which tools you need (she’d better not have to tell you why plastic is out) and what high-quality ingredients and brands are non-negotiable. Disagree with her recommendations? Well, too bad. Then she'll get into techniques like how to actually make a French omelet, how to make good whipped cream without killing your arms (hint: a blender), and how to make condiments you'll want to use instead of that crusty jar of mayo you've got in the back of the fridge. In case you wanted to know what some of these recipes are, there's: Breakfast Quesadillas with Corn Salsa Psychosis Crab Cakes Steak Sandwiches with Peppers, Onions, and Provolone Whiz Summer Lobster Salad Nonna’s Nightmare Short Rib Lasagna Not Your Grandma’s Chicken Parm Seared Ribeye with Charred Scallion Chimichurri and Perfect Roasted Potatoes Pan-Seared Branzino with Brown Butter Parsnip Puree and Apple Pomegranate Vierge And before you ask, there are four desserts. This is not a dessert book. There are other people for that. But seriously, these recipes will prepare you to cook like a private chef and Eat (Like) the Rich. Olivia shares these recipes and tips with you not to get a “yes, chef” but so you can learn how to make whatever you want, whenever.

Ryan Bartlow spent his formative years cooking at Akelarre, a three Michelin-starred restaurant in San Sebastián, while living above a humble village tavern where croquetas, txuleta steaks, and simple red wine became his daily sustenance. Those experiences shaped him as a cook and continue to inspire his menus today at his acclaimed New York restaurants Ernesto’s and Bartolo. With just a handful of simple ingredients—potatoes, olive oil, eggs, shrimp, tomatoes, garlic—plus a few easily sourced Spanish staples like piquillo peppers, tinned fish, and paprika, Bartlow shows how to create dishes that are at once rustic and refined. Recipes include croquetas de jamón with creamy centers and crisp exteriors; the classic tortilla de patatas, custardy and tender; gildas, the iconic pintxo of anchovies, peppers, and olives; and the silkiest crème caramel you’ve ever tasted. Bringing together Bartlow’s most trusted recipes and techniques and the storytelling of Laurie Woolever—longtime collaborator of Anthony Bourdain— Essentially Basque captures the spirit of Spanish culture and distills one of the world’s most celebrated food regions into dishes any home cook can master.

Cocked and Boozy - Brooke Barbier Cover Art

Cocked and Boozy

Cocked and Boozy An Intoxicating History of the American Revolution by Brooke Barbier

"A jaunty survey of 18th-century drinking and its ramifications for resistance, rebellion and economic resilience. . . . Barbier's observations about alcohol's influence provide a shot of national self-awareness, especially as America celebrates its 250th year." — New York Times America's founding generation drank a staggering amount of alcohol by today's standards. It influenced their politics, built and sustained their relationships, and drove the economy. Booze was not a small part of colonial society, nor covertly consumed in private spaces—it was integral to American life.  Historians have been reluctant to discuss the influence of alcohol on the founding of the United States, but it is necessary if we want to gain a full picture of the movement—it's time to reveal the drunken side of the American Revolution.   In Cocked and Boozy —two of Benjamin Franklin's two hundred terms for drunkenness—public historian Brooke Barbier examines the role that alcohol played in spurring, binding, and winning the American Revolution and how it shaped the nascent United States. Every chapter concludes with an eighteenth-century cocktail recipe made for modern tastes, so readers can participate in their own historic tippling. The intoxicating story begins in 1763 after the end of the French and Indian War and spans until 1800, with the presidential election of Thomas Jefferson. During these nearly four decades, Americans witnessed unprecedented disorder and prodigious growth, and through it all—powering it, in fact—was alcohol. Put simply, drink helped transform British subjects into Americans.

The Art of Greek Cookery - The Women of St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church Cover Art

The Art of Greek Cookery

The Art of Greek Cookery by The Women of St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church

The Greek's zest for good living, good food, and good wine has given his country a culinary art of great distinction. It is an infinitely interesting cuisine, yet little has been written of its intricacies and characteristic flavors. Recipes for the most part have been handed down from mother to daughter, without being formally recorded in a cookbook for modern Greek homemakers or for anyone else wishing to duplicate the dishes in his own kitchen. Today, more than ever, people are visiting Greece and the Greek Islands, returning with haunting memories of delicate pastries, skewered lamb flavored with oregano and garlic, tantalizing casseroles, and delicious vegetables bathed in rich golden sauces. They, as well as many American home-makers with an inquisitive palate and a desire to increase their repertoire of cooking, will find infinite pleasure between the pages of this book. The Art of Greek Cookery is composed of family recipes, tested and perfected in American kitchens for American cooks. Many dishes nearly forgotten through the years have been included. Some of the mouth-watering recipes are the famous Greek dessert baklava, made with phyllo pastry, nuts, and honey; dolmadakia, stuffed grape vine leaves; moussaka, the popular eggplant and meat dish; and pastichio, made with macaroni, meat, and a rich cream sauce. Also included are special menus; a shopper's guide; an authoritative explanation of Greek feast days, customs, and traditions; and a calendar of major Greek feast days and holidays. The book is delightfully illustrated by Art Seiden. Here is a wholly authentic book on Greek cuisine.

Milk Street: Cook What You Have

Milk Street: Cook What You Have Make a Meal Out of Almost Anything (A Cookbook) by Christopher Kimball

Make a meal out of almost anything with this helpful guide to utilizing all your pantry's hidden gems. Stop shopping and start cooking what you have. Your pantry's possibilities are endless. Milk Street will help you transform whatever you already have into bright, bold meals from around the world. Got a can of chickpeas? It can become anything from a quick hummus to a curry spiked with sweet carrots, from a garlicky chickpea soup to a bowl of crispy canned beans with lemon and scallions. Or grab that can of tomatoes from the back of the cabinet. It can become spicy one-pot pasta all'arrabbiata, chilaquiles rojos, a rich shakshuka with poached eggs or a chicken and tortilla soup. Turn to the refrigerator, where eggs and leftover vegetables are the start of cheesy migas, a Spanish tortilla with potato chips or a quick fried rice. Chicken breasts or thighs from the freezer become Hungarian chicken paprikash or hearty chicken salad with green tahini. Cooks in Amalfi, Italy, taught us to turn a wedge of Parmesan and lemons on the counter into a light yet flavorful pesto. And that's just the start. Desserts, too, come together easily with ingredients everyone keeps on hand. These 225 recipes begin with the most common ingredients in your kitchen, but they provide more than a lesson in practicality. They teach an improvisational, creative way to cook. That's when cooking becomes an adventure.

Ratio - Michael Ruhlman Cover Art

Ratio

Ratio The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking by Michael Ruhlman

Michael Ruhlman’s groundbreaking New York Times bestseller gets at the very “truth” of cooking: it is not about recipes but rather about basic ratios and fundamental techniques. Ratios are the simple proportions of one ingredient to another. Knowing a culinary ratio is not like knowing a single recipe; it’s instantly knowing a thousand. Why spend time sorting through millions of cookie recipes online or in cookbooks? Isn’t it easier to remember 1:2:3? That’s the ratio of ingredients that consistently make a basic, delicious cookie dough: 1 part sugar, 2 parts fat, and 3 parts flour. From there, add anything you want—chocolate, orange zest, walnuts, cinnamon, almond extract, or peanut butter, to name a few favorite variations. Replace white sugar with brown for a darker, chewier cookie. Add baking powder and/or eggs for a lighter, airier texture. Biscuit dough is 3:1:2—or 3 parts flour, 1 part fat, and 2 parts liquid. Vinaigrette is 3:1, or 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar, and is one of the most useful sauces imaginable, giving everything from grilled meats and fish to steamed vegetables or lettuces fabulous flavor. Change its ratio and bread dough becomes pasta dough; cakes become muffins become popovers become crepes. Once you know the ratio, you no longer need a recipe. Ratio also helpfully teaches readers how the fundamental ingredients of the kitchen—water, flour, butter and oils, milk and cream, and eggs—work together. In a world full of overly complicated recipes, award-winning author Michael Ruhlman delivers an innovative, straightforward book that makes the cooking easier and more satisfying than ever.

Charcuterie - Michael Ruhlman & Brian Polcyn Cover Art

Charcuterie

Charcuterie The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing by Michael Ruhlman & Brian Polcyn

An essential update of the perennial bestseller. Charcuterie exploded onto the scene in 2005 and encouraged an army of home cooks and professional chefs to start curing their own foods. This love song to animal fat and salt has blossomed into a bona fide culinary movement, throughout America and beyond, of curing meats and making sausage, pâtés, and confits. Charcuterie: Revised and Updated will remain the ultimate and authoritative guide to that movement, spreading the revival of this ancient culinary craft. Early in his career, food writer Michael Ruhlman had his first taste of duck confit. The experience “became a fascination that transformed into a quest” to understand the larger world of food preservation, called charcuterie, once a critical factor in human survival. He wondered why its methods and preparations, which used to keep communities alive and allowed for long-distance exploration, had been almost forgotten. Along the way he met Brian Polcyn, who had been surrounded with traditional and modern charcuterie since childhood. “My Polish grandma made kielbasa every Christmas and Easter,” he told Ruhlman. At the time, Polcyn was teaching butchery at Schoolcraft College outside Detroit. Ruhlman and Polcyn teamed up to share their passion for cured meats with a wider audience. The rest is culinary history. Charcuterie: Revised and Updated is organized into chapters on key practices: salt-cured meats like pancetta, dry-cured meats like salami and chorizo, forcemeats including pâtés and terrines, and smoked meats and fish. Readers will find all the classic recipes: duck confit, sausages, prosciutto, bacon, pâté de campagne, and knackwurst, among others. Ruhlman and Polcyn also expand on traditional mainstays, offering recipes for hot- and cold-smoked salmon; shrimp, lobster, and leek sausage; and grilled vegetable terrine. All these techniques make for a stunning addition to a contemporary menu. Thoroughly instructive and fully illustrated, this updated edition includes seventy-five detailed line drawings that guide the reader through all the techniques. With new recipes and revised sections to reflect the best equipment available today, Charcuterie: Revised and Updated remains the undisputed authority on charcuterie.
