Rate this book
Many of us are reclaiming the lost art of cooking at home. Ronda Carman, a seasoned cook who is on the Salonniere 100 list of America’s best party hosts, demonstrates how a well-stocked pantry allows you to easily create beautifully seasoned dishes.

Join Ronda Carman as she cooks from her pantry and readily available items in the refrigerator. A bountiful cupboard provides everything you need to prepare the batter for coconut pancakes, a bowl of chickpea soup with pesto, or a batch of pignoli cookies.

Organized alphabetically by ingredient, from almonds to za’atar, these pantry essentials are the foundation for creating meals that reflect today’s palette. Each section covers a single staple that can be used for numerous recipes. From dried fruits and grains for an instant breakfast to beans and pastas for a main course and polenta for a tasty lemon cake, every meal throughout the day is covered.

With over 100 easy-to-follow recipes and stunning photography showing creative ways to present dishes, this prac-tical cookbook features original takes on Caramelized Onion Anchovy Butter, Lemon Orzo with Tuna and Artichoke Hearts, and Pasta with Sardines, Breadcrumbs, and Capers.

Each seasonal dish is infused with nuanced flavors. The Art of Pantry Cooking is a must-have for those passionate about cooking.

Very yummy recipes to make from what one has on hand in the pantry, though I usually don’t have have the stuff. But every recipe I tried so far was delicious. The photographs are to drool over. She gives advice on what to keep stocked in your pantry. I was introduced to harissa which I love. I certainly won’t make all the recipes!

For every time you opened the cupboard or pantry, stared (and stared...) and then closed it up without any ideas for dinner, THIS is the book for you. Simple. Easy to follow. And just so beautiful.
