How do you update a classic? For his bestselling,
award-winning How to Cook Everything—the modern bible of
home cooking—Mark Bittman started from scratch, going page
by page, recipe by recipe, carefully blending the best of
the beloved original with appealing new recipes and fresh,
current information. The result is an even more useful and
authoritative cookbook, ready to inform, inspire, and guide
new and accomplished cooks alike—the single book to turn to
for every kitchen endeavor.
Bittman has added hundreds of new dishes, and completely
updated the remaining recipes and every line of guidance.
New features abound: Each chapter now opens with "Essential
Recipes," a section that highlights the core dishes for
every cook's repertoire, such as building blocks for simple
soups or ten ways to cook any seafood. He has also expanded
the chapters on vegetables and fruits, grains, beans, and
desserts. New charts will help you customize recipes with a
variety of flavors and ingredients, and new how-to
illustrations bring the total to nearly 400. With this
revision, Bittman also tags fast, make-ahead, and vegetarian
recipes with icons for easy menu planning.
The new How to Cook Everything provides a lifetime's worth
of quick, simple, and delicious options. Its 2,000 recipes
and variations cover everything from Pad Thai and Carrot
Salad with Cumin to Simplest Whole Roast Chicken, Six Ways
and Traditional Apple Pie. All of the recipes are easy to
prepare—more than half can be completed in 30 minutes (many
in even less time)—and none requires special equipment or
fancy techniques. Throughout, the emphasis is on fresh,
widely available ingredients and healthy, uncomplicated
preparations.
As always, Bittman's recipes are instantly appealing,
uniquely accessible, and refreshingly straightforward. And
many of the special features you loved in the original are
still here, too, fully updated. Bittman's thoughtful and
inspiring sidebars and lists (like "Twenty-Five Pasta Sauces
You Can Make in Advance") and suggested menus for every
occasion make How to Cook Everything more valuable and
indispensable than ever—the one cookbook you need for fast
and flavorful home-cooked food every day of the year.
