The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook
This past Saturday I had the good fortune to have breakfast with Deb Perelman, author of the wildly popular blog, Smitten Kitchen. I’ve been reading her posts for what feels like years, and she’s finally published her much-anticipated first book, The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook.
I’ve had the book for weeks now, and can honestly say’without hesitation’that it will quickly become splattered with food stains and marked up with penciled notes as I cook my way through the pages. The recipes are family friendly, simple yet interesting and translate well from regular weeknight dinners to weekend entertaining.
My boys have already scoped out the sweets section of the book and last week we made Deb’s Brownie Roll-Out Cookies. I had five 12-year-old boys over trying to figure out how to play poker’hey, I figure it’s better than them hanging out at the corner store’so I quickly whipped up a batch of cookies and cut them into poker-chip shapes to be used as edible betting materials. The recipe was originally published on the Smitten Kitchen blog a few years ago, and I’m happy it made the cut for the book.
