Elegant recipes made easy or easy recipes dressed up to be elegant? Either way you can't go wrong when you pick up this book for some dinner inspiration. Packed with beautiful food images and written in a supportive "you can do this" tone, The Modern Proper is the cookbook you need to re-invigorate that over-rotated dinner menu.

Thank you to NetGalley & Simon Element for giving me a preview of this cookbook. This cookbook carries through the beauty & elegance of "The Modern Proper" recipe website. I thoroughly love how easy to comprehend all of the recipes in this book are! I'm moving in with my boyfriend soon, and will definitely be referencing these recipes to cook together after a long day of work. I truly appreciated the "Meatless" section as well, which I feel isn't usually featured in regular cookbooks that aren't advertised as vegan or vegetarian—everyone should try to cook a meatless meal now and again & I appreciate all of the thought that went into curating these recipes. The photography in the book is mouth watering & makes me so excited to get in the kitchen. All in all, this recipe book is a total staple piece for your kitchen (who doesn't love a recipe for "Clean-Out-The-Pantry Pasta!?) & a must-read!

The Modern Proper cookbook is a book for the way I want to eat and cook. The food is simple yet elegant; easy enough for family weeknight dinners, but special enough to use for gatherings. I'm a fan of The Modern Proper's blog and instagram feed; I find myself constantly saving and pinning their recipes. It will be nice to have this collection of favorites in book form. For vegetarians and meat-lovers alike - this will be a great addition to everyone's cookbook library.

Thank you to Simon Element and NetGalley for this ARC.

An all-around cookbook, there's something for everybody. Eggs, check. Chicken, check. Pork & beef, check. Seafood, check. Ooh even meatless recipes, check! I'm going to try the Saucy Grilled Cheese with Asparagus, yes you read that right. Also included: meatballs and soup. Would be a good gift for your loved ones who likes to endlessly expand their cookbook collection.
