The Homemade Kitchen is full of beautiful, clean photos of food and the author’s family. They are the kind of photos that draw you in, if I had seen this book on the shelf I would have grabbed it, even if I hadn’t heard anything about it and didn’t have time to look at the back cover. I know they say never judge a book by its cover, and I don’t in the negative way, but I’ve got to say that sometimes a nice cover will draw me TO a book. This book has one of those covers.It’s also full of stories. I’m a sucker for stories! The author included personal stories with every recipe. Some of them are long, a lot of them are just small blurbs, but each idea has something to help the reader connect to it. Which is nice, because some of these tutorials and recipes (such as Kefir or Turkish Breakfast) are for things I have never heard of. After reading the authors descriptions I am making plans to try cooking things like Kimchi Breakfast Tatas, even though I haven’t previously had a strong desire to try kimchi. Hopefully it’s great!Near the start of the book is a section called “Be a Beginner.” It includes things like how to cook an egg, how to cook a vegetable, how to turn fruit into jam, etc. I love these simple how to’s! As weird as it seems, I had never actually fried an egg before. I’ve just always been convinced that I didn’t like them, but reading this book I realized I had never actually tried one. Now I have, and the information was easy to follow, with delicious results. I didn’t have to look anything up online either, which is nice, because sometimes I just don’t want to.This book is all about eating as well as you can, and it’s not condescending or patronizing. It’s very easygoing, and I appreciate that. And the food is very approachable! There are so many recipes in here that I still want to try. And there are tips too! All sorts of tips that I never knew I needed, but now have at my fingertips. So much knowledge shared, without anything feeling pushy.My favorite recipe in here so far is the Asparagus Carbonara. I haven’t yet been able to make it exactly as written, because some of the ingredients were out of season or unavailable for me to find, but there are variations listed with the recipe (that helped me immensely) as well as just things I decided to try. I’ll post my heavily modified carbonara recipe below, but be forewarned that I don’t always measure things closely. I didn’t really measure anything for this recipe. And of course I don’t have a picture, so you’ll have to use your imagination.The author has a blog that you can find here. The writing style is much the same as in the book, so give it a peek and see if you like it.Shortly after I brought this book home I decided I just had to add it to my collection, so I am now a proud owner. I love it so much it hasn’t even made it to the bookshelf yet! So far it has been going back and forth between the coffee table and the kitchen.Definitely try this book out if you like story based cookbooks with lots of pictures and multiple types of recipes- it’s fantastic

    Empowering for the Homemade Cook
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2017*

You know how sometimes you buy a cookbook because it's beautiful or really hyped and you never cook out of it? (Ok, all my River Cafe cookbooks. Actually I'd say most of my restaurant cookbooks are only very lightly used). This is not one of those. I bought this (used) without any expectations, I just loved the cover and the chapter contents were unique. But I use it ALL THE TIME.I feel empowered as a homemade cook again from cooking out of this book in a way that I don't when following expensive, complex recipes in Food & Wine magazine with mediocre results.The very first sections are elementary, basic cooking how-to's. I started with "How to Cook an Egg" and having cooked eggs for 20 years I kind of rolled my eyes. But then I tried her easy, straightforward methods with my morning eggs over the next few days and lo and behold, I finally cooked a delicious poached egg that didn't escape all over the place, and made delicious scrambled eggs that weren't the least bit rubbery. Her recipes are concrete if you want them to be, but they're also methods in the sense that you can tweak ingredients if you want, or make up your own creations with what you have on hand (so your "savory galette" might feature squash or kale, or both, or neither). There are some fun, unique recipes (homemade animal crackers, preserved lemons, kefir) and some practical, seasonal recipes that will quickly use up your garden's harvest (stuffed winter squash, berry pie). And again, i love the practical how-to's, from how to use fresh herbs in your cooking to tools that help food last longer.
