Throw together fast, flavourful meals in no time with just a handful of ingredients with 200 highly cookable, delicious, and incredibly simple recipes from the James Beard Award-winning team at Milk Street. 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 β€” the kind who can walk into a kitchen and throw together dinner in no time. In each of these recipes, big flavours and simple techniques transform pantry staples, common proteins, or centrepiece 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 Omelette with Fried Dill and Feta - Greek Bean and Avocado Salad And for dessert: Spiced Strawberry Compote with Greek Yogurt or Ice Cream
