Editorial Reviews

“Written with enough spunk to make you want to haul out your favorite pot and check what's in your pantry. Truly this is a book that you will use. Full of recipes, some familiar, some bracingly new, encouraging in terms of time and prep, and levels above the tomato-stained old soup book in your stack.”
