The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook

Everyday deliciousness you can cook anywhere



The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook is about deliciousness ... every time.

You don't need to be a chef, you don't need special ingredients, you don't even need a big kitchen. Discover every day deliciousness with The Smitten Kitchen Cook Book.


There is a half-galley kitchen in New York with just a single counter, a tiny stove, pans stacked high in the corner - yet it has conjured up stews and slaws, salsas and pestos, tatins and cheesecakes. All to-die-for.

This is Deb Perelman's kitchen. Deb is an ordinary home cook who believes food should be a pleasure and deliciousness a guarantee. So she founded www.smittenkitchen.com, her award-winning blog, where she concocts, tweaks and obsessively tests the best imaginable recipes for the everyday cook.

These are recipes you'll bookmark, share, and make your own, whether it is Courgette Ribbons with Almond Pesto for a summer lunch, Everyday Margherita Pizza for the family, Seared Halibut with Gazpacho Salsa for a weekend dinner, or Tiny But Intense Chocolate Cake for a special treat.

Praise for The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook

Utterly scrumptious. It's the kind of food you want to eat at home every weekend

Yotam Ottolenghi

I'm a longtime fan of the blog and this is a wonderful cookbook

Rachel Khoo, Little Paris Kitchen

Approachable but exciting recipes that you’ll return to again and again

Waitrose Kitchen

Her food is creative, her writing chatty and discursive, and the sheer delight she takes in cooking things which work and give pleasure shines through on every page... Her attention to detail, partly a response to pernickety questions from readers seeking advice and clarification on her recipes, make her the perfect partner to hand-hold even the most bashful kitchen novice

Mail on Sunday

Smitten Kitchen reads like a conversation with a witty friend who can recommend the perfect nosh for any occasion

O, The Oprah Magazine

The next best thing to having your own savvy New York Jewish friend

Melanie McDonagh, Evening Standard

To resounding foodie cheers, Deb Perelman’s toothsome family recipes, all tested in her titchy Manhattan kitchenette, have finally made it from her blog to a glossy hardback

Scotland on Sunday

Mouthwatering

Time

Home cooking at its mouthwatering best

Woman and Home

Her style is friendly and personal... Delicious new ideas, with the baking a particular highlight

Sally Hughes, BBC Good Food

Home cooking levelled up by someone who really loves and understands food, and it’s all captured beautifully thanks to her photography expertise…I always think it’s a good sign when I flick through a new cook book and immediately earmark about 90% of the recipes as ‘must make soon’, and even better to find I already have the ingredients for several of them in the house already! It’s the kind of book that I will find myself reaching for midweek inspiration as well as for ‘occasion’ cooking. Needless to say, I highly recommend it to everyone

What Kate Does

The photography is pretty and untricksy. Perelman's writing style is natural and confident and you will feel in safe hands cooking from this book

Saffron Strands

Wonderful

Inside a British Mum's Kitchen

It's been a long time coming for a cookbook to emerge from the author's small New York kitchen. Has it been worth the wait? Unequivocally, yes! Deb's recipes continue to amaze and surprise me. She's a home cook with a huge talent for changing the complexion of ordinary ingredients with a smattering of black sesame seeds or dried cranberries; she tweaks in all the right places

Culinaria Libris

Simple, honest and entirely delicious… It’s a great book, if like me and many home cooks, you have a tiny kitchen and limited resources then this is perfect for you. It’s simple, unashamed home cooking and utterly marvellous for that

Rob's Food Blog

Save money by knocking together a recipe from food blogger Deb Perelman’s new book… The New York breakfast casserole made with chopped bagels sounds weird but tastes amazing

InStyle

Sings with bright ideas

Fiona McKim, Juniormagazine.co.uk

Every recipe is best served in good company

Matilda Long, Food and Travel

There’s something reassuring in knowing that Perelman has cooked every single dish in this book

Marie-Claire Digby, Irish Times Magazine

Deb’s approach is deliciously practical

Irish Independent

Deliciously fuss-free and features a range of recipes that won’t terrify you with their fiddliness… For food that’s homely, fun and not even a tiny bit pretentious, make this cookbook your friend

Sunday Business Post

Delightful

Daily Mail Ireland

Every single recipe works a treat, having been tested numerous times by Debs. Lovely writing style, clear photos, great food

The English Can Cook

Deb Perelman has become a source of inspiration across the foodie blogosphere with her classy comfort food, beautiful photography and step-by-step guides
