Something Delicious - by Lindsey Baruch (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

When you're craving something delicious, crack open this vibrant cookbook for 100 flavorful, low-fuss recipes for any time of day, from the beloved creator behind Lindsey Eats.

When learning to cook you're often told to rely on your senses: tasting as you go, listening for a sizzle when steak hits the pan. But in Something Delicious, Lindsey Baruch pushes you to use all five senses, noting what you should see or feel as you're cooking. Her grandmother taught her to be present in the kitchen, and Lindsey's tips for reading recipes, setting up a pantry, and creating memorable dishes will help you create decadent meals whenever you want.

You'll join Lindsey for boisterous family dinner parties with coveted staples like Uncle Ira's "Good Dressing" and cozy days at home with Grandma Daisy's Tomato and Chicken Rice Soup. Lindsey's viral chicken dishes get a whole chapter with recipes for Crispy Sesame and Herb Chicken Schnitzel and Aleppo Braised Chicken Legs with Butter Beans and Smashed Olives. She also includes curated suggestions for what to make depending on the occasion like a Chili Crisp and Strawberry Baked Brie or Za'atar Roasted Kabocha Squash with Pomegranate Dressing for a holiday dinner, an Aperol Mezcal Margarita with Tajin for a warm summer evening, or a Mushroom Miso Mascarpone Pappardelle for easy weeknight fare.

Whether cooking for a date night in, preparing a weeknight dinner, or choosing what pairs well for dining al fresco, this book has you covered for all meals of the day, ensuring something delicious will always end up on your table.
