Techniques That Teach and Recipes to Repeat
by Molly Baz

Jim's Review
This is a cookbook that wants you to stop needing cookbooks. Baz puts technique front and center, and the recipes are the kind you will want to make on a Tuesday, not just a holiday. The tone is bossy in the best way: clear, opinionated and a little funny. It's ideal for a first apartment, a recent grad, or anyone whose cooking repertoire is "pasta, but sad." Four worms.
