Nearly every culture serves some sort of noodle, from fettuccine, ramen and spaetzle, to lo mein, gnocchi and udon. So we travelled the world to learn the secrets to the best pad Thai, Italian ragu, spicy North African couscous and buttery Turkish noodles flecked with feta. * In Italy, we were taught the real fettuccine Alfredo-so much lighter, simpler and more satisfying than what we knew. * In Sapporo, Japan, we learned how to develop the deep umami flavours of miso ramen with minimal time and effort. * And from Ho Chi Minh City to Lima, we learned the art of the quick noodle stir-fry, from Vietnamese shrimp noodles to Peruvian chicken and pasta The world of noodles also includes cool salads, steaming soups, plump dumplings and bowls of well-sauced shapes of all kind. Noodles are a perfect canvas for spring and summer vegetables, as well as hearty wintertime baked casseroles. And if speed is your need, try hoisin-ginger noodles or our cheesy one-pan cacio e pepe, both ready in 20 minutes. We include guides to using the noodles you have on hand, and show how to make classic noodles from scratch-from homemade udon and hand-cut wheat noodles to fresh egg pasta, orecchiette and potato gnocchi. What's for dinner? Use your noodle.

Milk Street has spent years learning from cooks all around the world and applying those lessons to weeknight cooking here at home. This book takes the best of those great culinary ideas and pares them back to their most basic, essential elements. The result is a set of recipes that are genius in their simplicity. Each of these 200 recipes works with just a handful of ingredients and short active cooking time; these dishes are done when you need them, or hands-off so you can let them cook while you do something else. The keys are high-impact ingredients, transformative techniques, powerful flavour combinations, and layers of texture. Milk Street Simple recipes help turn a straightforward bowl of pasta or a head of roasted cauliflower into a delightful meal, with no fuss and recipes that are endlessly flexible. If you loved Milk Street's Cookish, this collection of recipes is for you. Chapters include noodles and pasta, grains and rice bowls, soups and stews, easy roasts and braises, quick broils and grilling, traybakes (sheet pan dinners), vegetables and salads, stir fries, one-pot methods, and even desserts you can throw together quickly for a little sweet something to close out the day.

Instant Pots and other multicookers can transform your routine, turning day-long simmers and braises into quick dishes that are achievable even on a busy weeknight. But did you know that the same pot is also a top-notch slow cooker, delivering make-ahead flexibility? Milk Street Fast and Slow shows you how to make the most of your multicooker's unique capabilities with a host of one-pot recipes that show how to prepare the same dish two ways. For the quickest meals, use the pressure cooker setting to cut down on cooking time. And if you prefer the flexibility of a slow cooker, you can start your cooking hours ahead. Tantalize your taste buds and change the way you cook with this mouthwatering menu: - Vegetables shine on center stage in dozens of hearty vegetarian mains and sides like Potato and Green Pea Curry and Eggplant, Tomato, and Chickpea Tagine. - From Risotto with Sausage and Arugula to steel-cut oats and polenta, get slow-cooking grains on the table fast -- no standing and stirring required. - Beans cooked from scratch now join the weeknight lineup. Skip the overnight soak and load up on flavor in dishes like Black Beans with Bacon and Tequila. - One-pot pastas mean more flavor and less cleanup. Cook Lemony Orzo with Chicken and Arugula right in the sauce -- no boiling, no draining, no problem. - Cook chicken with a new world of flavor, from Chicken in Green Mole to Chicken Soup with Bok Choy and Ginger. - Transform tough cuts of pork into everyday ingredients -- from Filipino Pork Shoulder Adobo and Hoisin-Glazed Baby Back Ribs to Carnitas with Pickled Red Onions. - Make beef affordable by coaxing cheap (but flavorful) cuts to tenderness. Even all-day pot roasts and Short Rib Ragu become Tuesday night-friendly with little hands-on effort. These dishes take advantage of the Milk Street approach to cooking: fresh flavor combinations and innovative techniques from around the world. In these pages, you'll find a compelling new approach to pressure cooking and slow cooking every day. Praise for Christopher Kimball's Milk Street: "Kimball is nothing if not an obsessive tester, so every recipe has an implicit guarantee . . . Scanning the streamlined but explicit instructions, you think: easy, quick, works, boom." -- The Atlantic

Stop shopping and start cooking what you have. Your pantry's possibilities are endless. Milk Street will help you transform whatever you already have into bright, bold meals from around the world. Got a can of chickpeas? It can become anything from a quick hummus to a curry spiked with sweet carrots, from a garlicky chickpea soup to a bowl of crispy canned beans with lemon and scallions. Or grab that can of tomatoes from the back of the cabinet. It can become spicy one-pot pasta all'arrabbiata, chilaquiles rojos, a rich shakshuka with poached eggs or a chicken and tortilla soup. Turn to the refrigerator, where eggs and leftover vegetables are the start of cheesy migas, a Spanish tortilla with potato chips or a quick fried rice. Chicken breasts or thighs from the freezer become Hungarian chicken paprikash or hearty chicken salad with green tahini. Cooks in Amalfi, Italy, taught us to turn a wedge of Parmesan and lemons on the counter into a light yet flavorful pesto. And that's just the start. Desserts, too, come together easily with ingredients everyone keeps on hand. These 225 recipes begin with the most common ingredients in your kitchen, but they provide more than a lesson in practicality. They teach an improvisational, creative way to cook. That's when cooking becomes an adventure.

Fans of Milk Street say that Christopher Kimball has made cooking fun again--with recipes that simplify your time in the kitchen and dramatically improve the results. You'll trade time-consuming marinades for brighter finishing sauces that take a minute to produce. You'll learn that surface area is the key to crispy skin and evenly cooked chicken. And other ideas include: * A simple trick, like shredding chicken breast to coat it more evenly in a flavorful sauce, produces delicious recipes like Vietnamese Chicken Salad with Sweet Lime-Garlic Dressing. * A tip for building all-day flavour with a weeknight pasta sauce is used in Malaysian-Style Noodles with Pork and Mushrooms. * And show off a set of transformational principles for quicker, more flavourful stews with Spanish Chorizo, Ham and White Bean Stew. Each of these modern classic dishes features a full-page photograph alongside step-by-step photography and clear instructions to make it perfect every time.

In Cookish, Christopher Kimball and his team of cooks and editors harness the most powerful cooking principles from around the world to create 200 of the simplest, most delicious recipes ever created. These recipes, most with six or fewer ingredients (other than oil, salt, and pepper), make it easy to be a great cook--the kind who can walk into a kitchen and throw together dinner in no time. In each of these recipes, big flavors and simple techniques transform pantry staples, common proteins, or centerpiece vegetables into a delicious meal. And each intuitive recipe is a road map for other mix-and-match meals, which can come together in minutes from whatever's in the fridge. With most recipes taking less than an hour to prepare, and just a handful of ingredients, you'll enjoy: * Pasta with Shrimp and Browned Butter * West African Peanut Chicken * Red Lentil Soup * Scallion Noodles * Open-Faced Omelet with Fried Dill and Feta * Greek Bean and Avocado Salad * And for dessert: Spiced Strawberry Compote with Greek Yogurt or Ice Cream When it's a race to put dinner on the table, these recipes let you start at the finish line.

Chili-spiked carrots. Skillet-charred Brussels sprouts. Mashed potatoes brightened with harissa and pistachios. These are just three ways to put vegetables in the center of your plate. Here in the U.S., meat is cheap and has been in the center of the plate for centuries. The rest of the world, however, knows how to approach vegetables, grains and beans not only with respect but with a fresh, lively approach, one that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. To get a vegetable education, we traveled to Athens to learn how winter vegetable stews could taste light and bright, not hearty and heavy. In Cairo, we tasted eggplant and potatoes that punched up flavor with bold pops of texture from whole spices. And in Puglia, Italy, we had a revelatory bite of zucchini enriched by ricotta cheese and lemon. This is a world of high-heat roasts, unctuous braises, drizzles of honey, and stir-fries aromatic with ginger and garlic. And with 250 recipes, the possibilities are nearly endless: A simple head of cauliflower can become Cauliflower Shawarma, Sichuan Dry-Fried Cauliflower, or Curried Cauliflower Rice with Peas and CashewsHumble cabbage travels the world to become Butter-Roasted Cabbage with Citrus, Hazelnuts and Mustard; Hot and Sour Stir-Fried Cabbage; and Thai-Style Coleslaw with Mint and CilantroMushrooms are transformed into Stir-Fried Mushrooms with Asparagus and Lemon Grass or Miso Soup with Mixed Vegetables and Tofuand greens get the Milk Street treatment in dishes like Pozole with Collard Greens; Hot Oil-Flashed Chard with Ginger, Scallions and Chili; and Persian-Style Swiss Chard and Herb Omelet It's never too late to get your vegetable PhD.

In Tuesday Nights: Mediterranean, Chris Kimball and his team of cooks and editors at Milk Street deliver 125 simple, healthful recipes that are easy enough to tackle on a Tuesday night-but taste like they took all weekend. Drawing inspiration from Italy and the coast of France to Greece, Israel, Morocco, and beyond, this cookbook provides a fresh interpretation of Mediterranean meals that are as beloved for their health benefits as their robust flavor. Every Tuesday Nights recipe delivers big, bold taste and is ready in under an hour-with many ready in under twenty minutes. Using pantry staples and just a few other ingredients, these meals range from authentic classics to a treasure trove of new and unexplored recipes. Tuesday Nights Mediterranean is organized with the home cook in mind, gathering recipes in chapters such as Fast (under an hour), Faster (45 minutes or less), and Fastest (25 minutes or less), and will expand on the enduring popularity of the Mediterranean kitchen to help get dinner onto the table in a flash, any night of the week.

From a wok to a clay pot, every cuisine has a ubiquitous pot or pan that can cook just about anything. In the United States, the most common pan is a simple 12-inch skillet. Here you'll find 125 recipes that will transform and expand the way you use this versatile piece of cookware. To liberate the skillet from commonplace fare, we share what we've learned from our travels and from cooks in more than 35 countries. We drew inspiration from the East African islands of Mauritius and Reunion for Shrimp Rougaille, based on a Creole tomato sauce that reflects European and Indian influences. And in India, a wok-like vessel called a kadai or karahi is common. We use a skillet instead to make Chicken Curry with Tomatoes and Bell Peppers. The skillet also is a good choice for the stir-fried Sichuan classic Spicy Glass Noodles with Ground Pork, fragrant Vietnamese-Style Lemon Grass Tofu, and Mexican-Style Cauliflower Rice. You can even use it to make Three-Cheese Pasta, Skillet-Roasted Peruvian-style Chicken, and Pizza with Fennel Salami and Red Onion. To make it easy to find the recipe you need, we organized chapters by cooking times (an hour or less, 45 minutes, and under 30 minutes) as well as sections for side dishes, pastas, grains, stir-fries, pan roasts, and skillet-griddled sandwiches. And because the cooking is limited to one pan, the techniques are straightforward and the clean-up is easy. Great cooking is rarely about which pan you put on your stove. It's about what you put inside it. Push those limits, and find a new world in your kitchen.
