Simple Kitchen: The Essentials You Need to Cook Your Most Joyful Meals

by Thomas Hill, Genevieve Parker Hill

From the author of MINIMALIST LIVING comes a succinct guide to cooking in an easier, more joyful way. Co-authored by two foodies married to each other, SIMPLE KITCHEN is a quick read that will appeal to anyone who feels overwhelmed by all the recipe books out there and all the kitchen gadgets we are told are "indispensable." This mini-book will especially aid those who find themselves in sudden need of dazzling cooking skills because they want to impress a date or the love of their life. It's also a great resource for those moving into a new place and wondering what gear they really need to properly outfit a minimalist kitchen. This guide isn’t for you if you’re looking for directives for a vegan lifestyle or low-fat diet. Rather, you’ll find “unrecipes” for simple, joyful meals full of bright flavors boosted by healthy fats with suggestions for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

I think this book will relieve a lot of people who are overwhelmed by the idea of getting in the kitchen. There are plenty of folks out there who think that they could never cook tasty, healthy meals on a regular basis.

If you hyperventilate from stress when you watch cooking shows or are afraid your friends will judge you if your dishes don't have 25 ingredients each, use this book as your guide for a pleasurable kitchen experience. It includes easy recipes and recommendations for building your personalized collection of tools and ingredients.

Joyful Cooking is What I need

I would recommend this book to anyone who is tired of eating out - salt, sugar, & high prices - and those who want healthy meals in a small amount of time.

Simple Kitchen: The Essentials You Need to Cook Your Most Joyful Meals
What I like about this book are the lists: lists to things you should have in your ktichen, tools, gadgets and what you can get away with not having.
Then list of salads, rather than a recipe it tells you what types of lettuce parts and what would go well with it, along with dressings.
List of pastas and rice and how to cook them. List of vegetables and how to cook them.
Like the mixtures of making your own fresh salad dressing. How to make simple breakfast and desserts.
No pictures and no nutritional information.
