I have 3 Milk Street cookbooks. All of them stimulate great cooking ideas, but they suggest ingredients that are too fancy for the everyday cook. I trade recipes with a busy fellow cook who has observed the same thing: too fancy. I haven't read Cook What You Have or Milk Street Simple. Maybe they would be less complicated cookbooks for me. Recipes from NY Times and Jacques Pepin are consistently much easier to follow, quicker to throw together, and use common ingredients that I don't have to go to a specialty market to find. One other thing: the Milk Street cookbooks are large. I prefer smaller sized cookbooks that don't take up a lot of space when they are open on the kitchen counter. I do enjoy having a collection of cookbooks. You can't have too many, right?

I knew there is science to ingredients and how you combine them, but I was blown away after quickly reading through, marking countless recipes to go back and try. I will be purchasing several more for gift-giving!

As soon as I started flipping though the pages of this new book I was excited and intrigued. I'm kind of a cooking science nerd and what takes this book over the top for me was the actual new "rules". So much savvy, smarts, and shortcuts! The rules themselves would be worth it but then there's the recipes that use the rules. I can't wait to send this book as a birthday or holiday gift for my foodie friends!

Perfect chicken is a joyous, lifelong pursuit, and there are many paths to success. Start at Chinese white-cooked chicken, which appeared in the very first issue of our magazine. Chris Kimball deems it “idiot-proof” (for this is social, after all, and we gotta get the views), but it really is a must-learn fundamental in your change the way you cook repertoire.

The late, great Judy Rogers’s breadcrumb fried eggs capture the spirit of simple cooking that Chris Kimball has come to appreciate lo these many years—at this point, his definition of a great dish is soup from water and seeds, but he’s not wrong. In any case, it’s an Instagram-y concept on its face, but eternally useful in practice. The breadcrumbs act as a vehicle for seasonings and Parm, and they create a textural melding of firm whites, embedded in crunchy breadcrumbs and topped with runny yolks. Essentially a template for understanding flavors and perfecting simple technique.

The world has seen explosive innovation in pizza, yet lasagna has pretty much remained in the realm of “stomach bomb.” What if there were a lasagna that can be enjoyed all the way through the final bite? One with a light, silky sauce, in place of ooey-gooey cheese? The answer is a combination of besciamella and ragù Bolognese, which Chris Kimball learned from chef Alberto Bettini and his family’s Michelin-­starred restaurant Amerigo. “The fat content of the meat lends a lubricity and depth to the sauce without milk or cream,” Chris wrote of Bettini’s ragù, which maintained depth of flavor and kept the meat soft throughout the long cook time. “In fact, when I asked Orlandi about the lack of dairy, he looked puzzled. Cream in ragù Bolognese? No!” We found we could shave down the cook time and replicate the meatiness of local beef and pork by browning tomato paste and using beef broth. Then, we applied thin layers of that luscious meat sauce and a simple besciamella to lasagna, and we finally arrived at the lighter, silkier dish we crave. (You can also use this ragù for a simple tagliatelle.)

We love a super-efficient recipe that utilizes ingredients to their maximum potential—here, you’re going to treat your vegetables right, and get immensely satisfying body and heft. In our vegan version of Spanish caldo gallego (typically made with chorizo, ham, and/or bacon), our cooking school director Rosie Gill replaces smoky-savory flavor with browned tomato sauce and smoked paprika. And then pulls out the other “liquid gold”—canned bean liquid, aka “potlikker,” a starchy elixir that thickens and adds substance to the broth. #milkstreetrecipe #soup #souprecipe #liquidgold #brothbooster #potlikker #soupseason #easyrecipe #food #cooking #pantryrecipe #pantry #souptok

Chicken en Cocotte, or, “chicken in a pot,” is an efficient hands-off method for getting chicken that’s juicy and tender on the inside, flavorfully browned on the outside, while cooking a side dish all in one. Our education director Rosie Gill is here to show you how it works. We make a bed of leeks for a whole chicken and enclose it in a Dutch oven, which creates an environment of indirect heat that gently, evenly cooks the meat. The leeks release their moisture, becoming meltingly soft and sweet. We then remove the lid, brush the chicken with melted butter, and return to the oven uncovered for a blast of direct heat that browns the skin. Serve the leeks separately, as a side.

Tiny meatballs forever! Here’s why. Our editorial director J.M. Hirsch was hellbent of seeking out these teeny tiny meatballs for our new book “Backroads Italy”—so great was the allure to learn the origins of spaghetti and meatballs. So, in towns across the Abruzzo region in central Italy, he learned to make its ancestral dish: pasta alla chitarra con pallottine. There are a few intriguing twists to the meatball story. For starters, culinary historians generally credit New York’s Italian community with marrying large, Neapolitan-style meatballs to pasta. Golf ball-sized meatballs would be more attainable with more wealth (and meat). Then, it’s generally meatballs on spaghetti is an Amercan thing. In Italy, pasta is typically primo, and meat—including marinara-drenched meatballs—are secondo (the main). Abruzzo’s fresh-made pasta and tiny meatballs (pallottine) defy this narrative, and, in our opinion, they make a lot more sense than giant meatballs. They cook quickly, long enough to infuse the sauce with meaty flavor but briefly enough to remain tender and succulent, rather than dried-out. The starchy pasta married to the sauce for evenly-coated noodles, and the bite-sized meatballs were evenly distributed throughout. If this looks good, tap the link in bio for our new book “Backroads Italy”! You’ll find this and 125 other recipes from Italian home cooks and off-the-beaten path eateries.

Ricotta cheesecake is the dream, but it often evokes something served out of a wet plastic bag—grainy, loose, soggy. Some-odd decades ago, Chris tried a version in an East Village Italian restaurant that delivered on the promise; it was light, creamy, and bright, and most of all, held together. “I kept coming back to that ricotta cheesecake of so long ago,” Chris wrote, longingly, in our magazine. Years later, we finally got to the bottom of it. A little semolina flour helped soak up the extra moisture, and an extra egg, which allowed us to simply bake the cake in a 350°F oven for 40 minutes and still get a light texture. Plus, no water bath. It’s cracked, and we’re fine with that.

Turn fresh asparagus into a creamy pasta sauce! This concept was inspired by “The River Cafe” cookbook—meld the asparagus into the sauce, and preserve bits of crisp, fresh bites intact. Our culinary production director Wes Martin pulses the asparagus in a food processor and uses it two ways—half, sautéed until tender, and the other half kept al dente. A cup of cream binds the asparagus into a silky sauce just thick enough to coat the pasta while a sprinkle of lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice at the table brighten up the flavors.

We knew this would be a strong contender for the Best of 2025 list as soon as we read our editorial director J.M. Hirsch’s notes from Georgia. “This is one of the most delicious–and easiest–khachapuri I’ve tried in Georgia,” our editorial director J.M. Hirsch wrote us from Tibaani. There, winery owner Ani Lomidze taught him to make penovani khachapuri, two layers of crispy, flaky puff pastry with a light, briny cheese filling. “The puff pastry actually creates a bread that feels a little lighter than the traditional flatbread-style khachapuri,” he wrote. “It’s also great because it doesn’t require the cook to actually make the dough.” While it’s often shaped as individual hand-held squares, Lomidze made hers as a whole pie and added tarragon—not a traditional inclusion, inspired by her grandmother’s recipe. Flaky, crispy, cheesy, but light, great with a jug of Georgian wine. A strong contender for the Best of 2025 round-up already.

Tres leches, or “three milks” cake, is a beloved merger of light, spongey cake soaked with sweetened milk. It’s also milk on milk on milk, so, it tastes like milk. We wanted to preserve the mildness, while layering subtle flavors in the crumb, the milk, and the topping. First, Chris Kimball is adding almond flour to the AP, which adds a more tender texture and a faint, nutty backbone. Then, he’s taking inspiration from rompope, a rum-spiked Mexican holiday drink, and adding rum and a few warming spices to the soaking liquid. And finally, a little sour cream to wake up the light, fluffy topping. The flavors play off of each other without detracting from the milk, which is still the main event. Covered tightly, leftovers can be refrigerated up to two days.

“This is a cooking lesson in a bowl,” Chris Kimball wrote after trying an outstanding khao tom at Jok Sompet, in Chiang Mai, Thailand. “A savory base punched up with a variety of flavors (lime juice and shallot, fish sauce and ginger, lemon grass and white pepper), plus the contrasting textures of soft-boiled egg, fried shallots, pork meatballs, rice and broth.” Say no more, our education director Rosie Gill is here with the lesson. It’s a fabulous study in “broth boosting,” the practice of transforming a box of insipid store bought broth into an elixir layered with flavor. Homemade broth purists might accuse us of laziness. To which we respond that store bought is inevitable! So here’s the formula: 1) Add a flavorful fat, 2) sauté and simmer heaps of aromatics, 3) add sauces and seasonings at the end for a final layer of distinct, bright flavors. And, in this case, add pork meatballs and fried shallots for loads of savory mouthwatery-ness.

Pliable, tear-off noodles make this Korean-style chicken soup (our version of sujebi) one of our all-time favorite chicken noodle soups—they become chewy and dumpling-like, the opposite of mushy rigatoni. And, as our ever-encouraging culinary production director Wes Martin insists, they are easier than you think. Besides the world’s easiest homemade noodle recipe, we and Wes also love the broth, which is hit with a shock of red, potent sauce at the very end. It adds a distinct layer of umami and heat on top of a comforting homemade broth.

Grassy, bright green risi e bisi, literally translates to “rice and peas,” but it’s more like a soupy risotto—creamy but bathed in a fresh, vegetal broth. Our editorial director J.M. Hirsch learned this from Michela Tasca, owner of Ca’ de Memi, on a farm outside of Venice. There, it’s typically served in April for St. Mark’s Day, but we’re using frozen peas, so no need to wait til spring. It gets its blitz of green from a puree of both vegetables used to flavor the broth and a heap of peas, which are also added whole at the end. Pancetta, butter, and Parm add the richness and backbone to make it a whole meal.

Somewhere between truffles and fudge, Brazilian brigadeiros require no fussy tempering and call for little more than cocoa, butter, and condensed milk. The premise is simple: the elegance of truffles, the chewiness of fudge. The execution is simpler: melt the ingredients in a skillet. That’s about it! Commonly served at birthday parties in Brazil and the U.S., they’re also this year’s gift from Rose, our Valentine queen.
