Simple, stylish recipes for fearless entertaining from the renowned food stylist, New York Times contributor, and founding food editor of Martha Stewart Living.

As a professional recipe developer, avid home cook, and frequent hostess, Susan Spungen is devoted to creating perfectly simple recipes for good food. In Open Kitchen, she arms readers with elegant, must-make meal ideas that are easy to share and enjoy with friends and family.

An open kitchen, whether physical or spiritual, is a place to welcome company, to enjoy togetherness and the making of a meal. This cookbook is full of contemporary, stylish, and accessible dishes that will delight and impress with less effort. From simple starters such as Burrata with Pickled Cherries and centerpieces such as Rosy Harissa Chicken, to desserts such as Roasted Strawberry-Basil Sherbet, the dishes are seasonal classics with a twist, vegetable-forward and always appealing. Filled with practical tips and Susan's "get-ahead" cooking philosophy that ensures streamlined, stress-free preparation, this cookbook encourages readers to open their kitchens to new flavors, menus, and guests.

Perfect for occasions that call for simple but elevated comfort food, whether it's a relaxed gathering or a weeknight dinner, Open Kitchen shows readers how to maximize results with minimal effort for deeply satisfying, a little bit surprising, and delicious meals. It is a cookbook you'll reach for again and again.

Review

"Open Kitchen is an exciting collection of beautiful recipes that are easy enough for weekday meals, but impressive enough for entertaining. From Cassoulet Toast (yes, please!) and a Stress-less Cheese Soufflé, to Crispy Semolina Potatoes and an entire chapter of desserts that I'm planning on baking my way through. Susan Spungen's magnificent book celebrates freshness and takes familiar flavors in unexpected--and delicious--directions. It's a must for anyone who loves to cook, bake...and of course, eat." --David Lebovitz, author of My Paris Kitchen and Drinking French

"Open Kitchen overflows with intuitive, crave-able cooking! Just like Susan Spungen herself, these recipes will lure you into the kitchen and have you chopping, roasting, and drizzling better than you ever knew you could. This is not just a book on how to make good food, it's a blueprint for how to cook with joy, confidence, and ease -- from prep to presentation!" -Gail Simmons, food expert, TV host and author of Bringing It Home --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Perfection for home cooking

Reviewed in the United States on 9 March 2020

I write cookbooks so I really know how much time and effort it takes to write a great recipe, one that works, is clearly written with great results. Recipes that you want to make again. This weekend I made 3 recipes from the Open Kitchen, the Baked Butternuts Squash Gratin, the Chicken and Dumplings and the Toasted Quinoa Sesame Almond Tuiles. Everyone (including a Michelin star chef) raved about everything. Every page has something you'll want to try. Congratulations Susan, you really created a must-have cookbook for beginning to accomplished cooks. That tuile alone is worth the price of the book!

The End of Loneliness

Reviewed in the United States on 6 March 2020

By the end of loneliness, I mean a couple of things. The solitary joy Susan's recipes and writings bring to this weekend cook and baker, to muse and explore in the kitchen, that delicious, pun intended, pleasure of communing with the rituals of cooking, combined with sharing the results, easy entertaining. "Sprezzatura," a word she writes about, that she came across a few years ago, which means, "studied nonchalance." It's what she aims for when she cooks, and when she has people over. This book is the way to your friends' and family's heart. Viva "sprezzatura" and Susan Spungen. I'm loving both. Bought "Open Kitchen" Kindle and hardcover editions. Kindle so I can read on my phone at the office via the Kindle app, and dream and plan. Hardcover for the kitchen.

I had a little time and decided to make what seemed like the easiest recipe Baked Ricotta
It turned out exactly as pictured and I ate the "Whole Thing" with just a salad.
Perfect Dinner
