Fried eggs on polenta, and the mini corndog bites are like comfort food heaven! SOme amazing recipes in here, although american cup measures are a must! I really enjoyed the stories behind each recipe as well, as I don't tend to use so much those cook books that have no narrative or history. A valued addition to the shelf, and I am especially pleased as I got this at an absolutely bargainous price used!

I realise that I am going against a whole generation and large following for Melissa Clark but...this cook book really didn't do it for me. It's not an Anglo-American thing, its not the personal stories that she tells but for me the book doesn't work on so many levels. It is not so much a cookbook rather more a personal journey through food with recipes - that is fine in itself and Melissa Clark is clearly an amazing cook but whereas Nigel Slater, Skye Gyllengal and many others write with you and for you - colluding in the impression that you can do this with them - somehow Clark gives a distant impression and the book doesnt' lend itself( despite the title) of wanting to cook what she describes
It will be great for her fans but for others its OK

Annoyed me
Reviewed in the United States on 24 February 2019Verified Purchase
I was rearranging cookbooks after a kitchen remodel and had forgotten this one, but was drawn in by the sandwich on the cover so gave it another look. I enjoy an origin story, I really do, but the way she wrote was so self conscious, as if she studied every sentence with a thesaurus on hand. I found it precious and not adorable. There are some unique recipes that I’m interested to try. The leeks with sharp mustard vinaigrette sounded really interesting, but is it an appetizer, a snack, something you serve with roasted chicken? The same goes for bacon pecan pralines. They’re both unusual and potentially interesting, but what are they supposed to look like, and are they meant to be paired with something? There are no pictures, and no pairing suggestions. That combined with the fact that her writing style really grated (see what I did there? Haha) makes this a cookbook I cannot recommend.

Excellent!
Reviewed in the United States on 21 May 2015Verified Purchase
Love this cookbook! I've made about 15 of the recipes, and they've all been excellent. While a knowledge of basic cooking is essential (of course), few of the recipes are particularly time or labor intensive, and some are downright easy. And the ingredients can be found at any local grocery. And yet, given the ease of cooking and the standard ingredients, Clark's recipes are delicious. She is an artist, excelling at combining flavors and textures, so that each dish is far more than the sum of its parts. I highly recommend this book!
I would point out one thing. This isn't a criticism of the book, but simply a caution. It seems these days that people want a cookbook with a specific eating theme- vegetarian, gluten-free, paleo, low-carb, low-fat, vegan, comfort food, BBQ, desserts, etc. This book doesn't fall into any category. It contains a wide range of recipe types, something for everyone, but not a lot of any one kind. I love that about the book. Something to fit my every taste and mood.
