Lifestyle | Better than a Cookbook

My thoughtful friend, KET gifted me "Mark Bittman's Kitchen Express" last fall. I am typically overwhelmed by cookbooks - never knowing where to begin, & foolishly planning to make four new recipes in one week.  

However, her gift accounted for such nonsense by including post-it notes by recipes she's actually made & enjoyed. I received the best of both worlds - new, easy, interesting recipes & KET tested & approved starting points. : ) 

 

Here's what I've made thus far:

Curried Chicken Salad (pg 171)

Black Bean Soup (pg 120)

Left: Chicken Curry (pg 137)

Right: Cauliflower Soup with Raisins (pg 117)

So if you're looking for a practical & thoughtful gift - a cookbook you love with handwritten notes is a great suggestion! 

To the kitchen,
