The long-awaited new book from the best-selling and beloved author of The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook—a collection of essential recipes for meals you'll want to prepare again and again.

Deb Perelman is the author of two best-selling cookbooks, the OG of the culinary blogosphere, the homegrown brand with more than a million Instagram followers, the self-taught cook who obsessively tests her recipes until they’re perfect.
 
Here, in her third book, Perelman presents 100 new recipes (plus a few old favorites from her site) that aim to make shopping easier, preparation more practical and enjoyable, and food more reliably delicious for the home cook.
 
What's a keeper? It's a brilliantly fuss-free lemon poppy seed cake. It's Perelman’s favorite roasted winter squash. It's an epic quiche. It's a slow-roasted chicken on a bed of unapologetically schmaltzy croutons. It's the only apple crisp she will personally ever make. It’s perfect spaghetti and meatballs. These are the fail-safe, satisfying recipes you’ll rely on for years to come - from Perelman’s forever files, to yours.

DEB PERELMAN is a self-taught home cook and photographer and the creator of the award-winning blog, SmittenKitchen.com. She lives in New York City with her husband and their children.
