The formatting of this one really put me off. Why have a recipe take up a bottom half page and the following top half page in stead of just a full page? It seems as though different photos or half page photos would have made reading and using this one more friendly. I'm all for lengthy detailed recipes but it seemed poorly planned. Many of the recipes looked good though.

I own all of the previous Tartine cookbooks, so I was very pleased to get an advance copy of “Tartine All Day” This is not a cookbook of exotic ingredients, or innovative flavor combinations (although there are few), but instead a cookbook that you can open everyday for reliable pleasing food. This would be a particularly good choice for an ambitious beginner cook who wants a collection of excellent basic recipes with plenty of variety. (I’m thinking my 24 year old daughter here!)
Prueitt starts us out with simple preserves and pickles (I’m anxious for fall and quince season to test the fresh quince preserves). She then proceeds through a selection of breakfast dishes, including a very detailed primer on boiled eggs, and on to appetizers and soups where I want to give a loud shout-out to the Cauliflower-Garlic Soup with Watercress Pesto.
The Kale and Cucumber Salad was a hit, but the recipe I’m really looking forward to trying when spring peas finally start arriving in my farmer’s market box, is the English Pea, Pea Shoot, Fennel and Goat Cheese Salad.
Tartine’s recipe is meant to be seasonal cooking at its best, so there are many recipes here to look forward to as the weather warms up where I am. Meanwhile I’ve been happy to sample several of the ample potato recipes, the hot-smoked salmon with salsa verde, and the lamb kofta (which I made with beef, and can highly recommend.)
An added bonus of Tartine All Day is the inclusion of lots of gluten-free recipes. I’ve found that being able to accommodate gluten sensitivities is more and more characteristic of dining entertainment, and Prueitt makes it easy and tasty to do just that.

I really enjoy this down to earth, whole foods cookbook by Elisabeth Prueitt, the great baker and chef of "Tartine" in San Francisco.
The book is divided by type of meal/course, has bright white pages with a no- fuss print - uncluttered very easy to read. Each recipe leads with an interesting introduction before the ingredients and instructions are listed in a very clear way. Most importantly, though, the recipes themselves are delicious and very achievable for the home cook. Although the dishes span a great variety of types of cuisine, seasons and styles, they are all made with "real" food that is good for you.
The only drawback for some people might be small number of photos....

Tartine Bakery is a delicious experience in San Francisco. Elisabeth Prueitt and Chad Robertson have upped the baking game for bakers and bakeries. Prueitt, a French trained pastry chef, has authored a few books on baking but Tartine All Day: Modern Recipes for the Home Cook is accessible for the novice cook. Her book has recipes from sauces, stocks, soups, salads, mains, and desserts. It is the dessert section I am particularly interested in. Her recipes-gluten free- are scrumptious and not overwhelming with different ingredients and technique. The Double Chocolate Sorghum Brownies are wonderfully chocolate, and yes 70% cacao brings out the deep chocolate flavor. The Teff Carrot Cake was a little concerning for me as Teff has a sort of quinoa type flavor to it. However, this cake has a nice spice flavor and is keeps moist and the coconut adds nice texture. I can't wait to make the Corn-Meal Ricotta Upside Down Cake. Overall her recipes are tasty. If you're not into dessert try her recipe Fattoush With Country Bread or her Kale and Cucumber Salad with Tahini-Lemon Dressing: simply wonderful.

This is an absolutely gorgeous book. Unfortunately, it didn't have a lot in it for me.
I didn't realize it was a gluten-free book when I borrowed it from the library. Since we're not gluten-free in our house and I'm not inclined to stock up on specialized flours, the bakery recipes were no-gos for me. I wasn't sure if I could simply swap in all-purpose flour without making adjustments to the other ingredients and didn't see any guidance in the recipes on this point.
The opening section on Basics was intriguing although I am not sure how practical they are at this point in my life. Not many of the other recipes jumped out at me. I did make the Spring Risotto, which came together easily and was tasty.

Very easy to make and healthy ideas, that bring a genuine natural taste to your menu. I am mostly tempted to try some of the jams and jellies, and will definitely give it a try in the next weeks. Also the corn tortillas is something that is pretty interesting for a good foodie challenge
The writing is also good and could be used as an example for any foodie writer looking for professional inspiration.

I am a big fan of Tartine Bakery, and this cookbook didn’t disappoint. Incorporating her experiences with the bakery and the Manufactory, as well as her personal experiences, Prueitt makes this cookbook part biography and all delicious. This cookbook would make a great gift for a foodie with or without gluten sensitivities.

I had a hard time rating this one. I liked how the recipes were written. They include many helpful tips in addition to the recipes. There is also a good variety of every day food. Based on that I would give the book a four or a five. But - the layout is really bad. Whoever was in charge of layout needs to take a class. Recipes would (barely) start on the bottom of a page or have a few final lines on a page. The recipes could have been formatted to fit better. Also the book is gluten free and I wasn’t expecting a gluten free cookbook. I find fads that leave out perfectly good ingredients (butter, eggs, flour, dairy) annoying. No offense to anyone with coeliacs. I do understand that sometimes it is necessary; but, I don’t think “modern” equals gluten free and gluten free should be mentioned on the cover.

May 18, 2019Not what I expected! Very simple and realizable compared to the intricate fantasies in the pastry volume. I cannot imagine being part of that incredible bakery and being gluten intolerant, as she apparently is. :( :(

One of the worst layouts I've ever seen in a cookbook. Also I hadn't realized it was gluten free which was both disappointing because the recipes were not all that varied, but also awesome because I made an amazing gf cake.

I have to agree with the reviews that critique the formatting of this book. The layout seems to make using the book fairly impossible. I will say that Prueitt owes Samin Nosrat a bigger thank you, and Alison Roman lees both of them!

The recipes are great with lots of “back pocket” building blocks throughout. I was not thrilled with the layout and lack of photos for many of the recipes. Overall, a great resource to have on hand for basics and special recipes alike.

Definitely more achievable than most restaurant cookbooks, though I really wish there were more pictures.

Some very good ideas and recipes, but, in general, these recipes for the home cook are too complicated for this home cook.

Lovely
As always with anything from the geniuses behind Tartine, I want to cook and eat every single recipe. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful cookbook! Delicious recipes and lovely pictures of fresh food without a side of pretentious. I found some really great motivation for the upcoming summer months.

Just kind of underwhelmed by the recipes I've tried, and not super inspired by most of them.

great recipes and ideas but I don't cook gluten free so not really a necessary book for me. But the recipe for ricotta dumplings is delicious and simple.

This cookbook is fantastic. The scalloped potatoes alone made the purchase worth it, and the authors voice is a pleasure to read.

Lots of great gluten-free options presented. But, to be honest, none of the recipes demanded "make me" .

Gorgeous hardcover book. Wonderful recipes. I am not by nature into mostly desserts but if you are somebody who has a passion for baking and desserts, definitely check out.

Beautiful cookbook with fairly easy recipes that a home chef can make and savor. This has potential to become a family favorite.

Utterly gorgeous and incredibly inspiring for a home cook. I wanted to try every recipe in this book, and after my first read, about half the recipes were marked. I've only seen this book as a PDF (thank you NetGalley) and cannot wait to hold the real thing in my hands.

This is a lovely how-to reference for home cooks. Basic recipes like Aioli, Tzatziki, Corn Tortillas, and Applesauce are introduced with a descriptive paragraph that explains the process and various versions and uses for each recipe. I think that is so useful and interesting, and a good opportunity to add kitchen knowledge to you every home cook's skill set.
The directions are clear, and allow for the cook to use different utensils based on what they have on hand. In other words, you are not required to have specialty equipment for the recipes, standard kitchen tools can be used. Also, for some of the recipes with multiple processes, step-by-step photographs are provided to help you along.
In addition to the basics, the cookbook includes less common, delicious-sounding dishes like Ancho Pepper Soup, and Eggplant Parmesan Gratin with Fresh Tomatoes and Quinoa. The recipes that require more complicated techniques include spatchcocked roast chicken and holiday turkey.
Recipes are suggested to help you pull compatable dishes together for a full menu for different occasions or events.
This is not a vegetarian cookbook, and it features many meat dishes. There were also some great vegetarian dishes, and recipes that sounded so good that I wanted to make small adjustments so that they could be made vegetarian.
With the in-depth explanations and the thorough instructions for every recipe, this is a cookbook that will stand the test of time, and would be a valuable reference to a home cook. Recommended for all home cooks.

I was curious about Tartine All Day never having made a tartine in my life; I thought it was a great cookbook with beautiful photos, a great layout, and intriguing recipes (again, I’m definitely not a tartine baker by any means). It’s also not a tartine-specific book, which lead me astray a bit, but no complaints, especially with recipes like Dark Chocolate and Toasted Almond Semifreddo, Kabocha Custard (um – what?! It was definitely a new ingredient for me, but thankfully, it’s just a type of squash). It’s a lovely mix of sweet/savory recipes, and they’re easy enough to follow (of course once I actually know what the ingredients are!).
