The Smitten Kitchen publishes a cookbook
November 7, 2012 by Lindsay
One of our favorite food blogs is the Smitten Kitchen by Deb
Perelman. Of all our indexed blogs, the Smitten Kitchen is
at the top of the our
blog list, with 1,146 of our members following her. Her
popularity is obviously due to the quality of her recipes and
photos, but it should also be noted that her kitchen is a
“puny 42 square foot circa-1935 sort of half-galley kitchen
with a 24 foot footprint, a single counter, tiny stove, checkered
floor and a noisy window at the end to the avenue below.” In short,
she produces all those wonderful dishes and photos in anything but
a test kitchen – a real home cook.
So while we can’t single out every new cookbook for comment, we thought there were ample reasons to make an exception in this case. And we also wanted to highlight this review in Serious Eats. Besides describing the book, which is indexed on EYB, they’re offering five free copies:
“ The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook is essentially Perelman’s blog bound in hardcover. The headnotes are peppered with details on her family, friends, and kitchen quirks. The photographs are sparse, well-lit, and all set on her familiar grey countertop.
And while the recipes stick to Perelman’s general oeuvre (vibrant yet comforting meals) the featured dishes are (for the most part) unique to the book. As on her blog, the recipes are tested and adapted for even the smallest kitchens; many are excellent weeknight solutions, but there are more than a few entertaining-worthy recipes scattered throughout.”
As mentioned above, they’re giving away 5 free copies to people who post a comment after the review. Just click on the Serious Eats link, and good luck to any who enter!
