A Forbes Vetted Best Cookbook of Fall 2024
“Not only is it an incredibly practical book for times of depression, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or simply being too busy to even think, but it’s written in a tone so kind and calm that I would read it over and over, even if it were about how to change the oil in your car.”—Linda Holmes, NPR
‘It is one of the most generous cookbooks I have ever read. It’s revolutionary; it’s a relief.”—Washington Post
“Eby’s fabulously fun and incredibly informative guide is a treat for cooks wherever they are on the culinary spectrum.”—John Charles, Library Journal, starred review

“It’s a generous book that I can’t wait to keep cooking from, no matter my mood.”—Mallary Santucci, Epicurious
