In Praise of Home Cooking: Reasons and Recipes [9781419749384]

Overview

An inspiring ode to home cooking with all the guidance you need to perfect your own easy-to-master everyday family recipes, from award-winning cookbook author Liana Krissoff.

This cookbook infused with memoir includes more than 85 recipes that are Krissoff’s essentials, perfected for your ease. They represent a chronicle of how she learned to cook as well as her efforts to help her daughter develop a level of comfort with home cooking.

There are charming step-by-step illustrations that demystify key kitchen skills, vibrant food photographs, and short essays that reveal keen insights gleaned from a life as a recipe tester, cookbook author, and mom interspersed among the recipes.

From kneading your own yeasted bread dough to refining classic tahini dressing, Krissoff’s In Praise of Home Cooking brings you all the foolproof recipes you always wished you had, while offering insight into the meaning and beauty behind these simple moments.

In Praise of Home Cooking is a good fit for anyone looking to perfect the staples, parents who want to whip up something tasty, curious kids who want to learn grandma’s secret recipes, and everyone who has gotten tired of those absurdly labor-intensive recipes.

To Krissoff, developing resourceful habits and perfecting uncomplicated dishes––a pot of fluffy rice and one of creamy beans, a seared steak and a colorful salad––are integral to living with great pleasure, and so she shows us the way.

Exploring these simple but vital subjects—such as how to start a fire in a clearing in the woods, making a simple but celebration-worthy layer cake, and remembering to make a mug of hot cocoa just because it’s the first cold, gray day of fall—she reminds us that appreciating these moments is key to a life well-lived.

Packed with helpful and inspiring color photographs and illustrations.
