Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of The Tiny Kitchen Cookbook.

The author's premise is simple; how do you cook beautiful, healthy, amazing meals in a small kitchen?

The author lays out in her no nonsense way how to effectively and efficiently use the kitchen space you do have, including what tools and appliances are essential when you have little counter space to begin with.

She also includes cooking tricks and substitutions for ingredients you thought you had or don't have time to run out to the store for.

The recipes are healthy and look delicious, most look good enough for a fancy dinner party!

Like another reviewer noted, I wished there were more photos.

You know the expression, "we eat with our eyes" and there weren't enough visuals for my eyes to sink into.

I think any cook would benefit from reading this book, whether your kitchen is in a dorm, a NYC studio apartment or a spacious loft.

You'll find plenty of great tips and recipes that stimulate and enlighten your mind and senses in The Tiny Kitchen Cookbook.

This is a really great idea, which the author has clearly a lot of experience with and gives a lot of fun and useful tips for people with not a lot of counter space. I think that will be really useful for a lot of people and I can only imagine, like another reviewer has said, this may be particularly useful to students going back to uni. I liked that there was a lot of thought and time dedicated to that, as well! The layout of these tips was clear and concise, too, and I thought it was cool and fun that she went through a bunch of different tools that you should own, how to store, etc. and what would be 'necessities' and what was only important if you had the room. Honestly there's a great deal of tips here -- from how to shop, to how to entertain, what to do with your rubbish if you have a small space, how to deal with the usual kitchen smells. I think this would be a great book for a complete beginner, especially in the way it goes through different fruit, vegetables, grains etc that can be added to leftovers in order to bulk meals and create something new and tasty. (Honestly I'll prob refer back to that at some point.)

The recipes look interesting, but I'd prefer a few more photos, I think! Just to pique interest. I always, always appreciate things that are one pan or one pot. From a tiny kitchen standpoint, it's economical but also it just saves so much time. Again, there's some really quick and handy recipes here that will be perfect for people with not a lot of time and not a lot of space. I also find it interesting and useful that there's not often a lot of fancy, long methods. Honestly I'm a pretty haphazard cook and I like to just throw things in a pan or onto a tray or roasting tin and just let it be. Some of these look really nice and I'm excited to try them.

For me, I think this book isn't QUITE as useful as it would be for someone else, but I do appreciate the concept and the clarity and depth, hence the rating.

This book’s concept is recipes you can make in a tiny kitchen. The author is familiar with cooking meals in a small kitchen on a boat, so this isn’t just a concept it’s something she can teach by experience,
She gives tips on how to best utilize your space in a small kitchen, about taking your space into consideration when you grocery shop and also about not buying kitchen devices that are only good for one specific use. Don’t have room for a toaster? Use your oven. I don’t have a small kitchen per se but I don’t have a ton of counter top space, so I also try to keep that in mind when buying kitchen appliances.
So, with that plan, the recipes in this book will not require you to have special appliances.
The recipes are also intending to be quick and not dirty many dishes (win, win, right?).
The recipes are ideas like one bowl salads or pastas and one pan dinners.
I don’t think there’s enough pictures in this book of the finished meals. If I could recommend anything to the author it would be to add more pictures.
The recipes I thought looked best are:
Chocolate baguette with olive oil and sea salt
Chicken tostada with lime cream and ancho chili spread
Apple, shallot and delicate squash

The one recipe that I am 100% sure I’ll make is the chocolate baguette.

I got to read an early ebook edition on NetGalley, thanks!
