I was hoping this would motivate me at a time when I just moved to an adu with the most limited kitchen imaginable. Thinking about a fall season without sheet pan cooking and pumpkin baked goods seemed awful. The book didn’t actually do that but I liked and will use
the idea of a ritual before cooking. I’ve read Julia Turshen in the past and loved her recipes and thoughts so I am sure it will inspire most well equipped cooks. three stars for me four for most readers I’m guessing

I thought this was a great cookbook. The recipes are all accessible and Julia gives out some great ideas about easy meals with sample substitutions if necessary. I will for sure be cooking some of the recipes out of this book next week.
