Throughout, Bittman’s commonsense advice and plentiful variations provide cooks with freedom and flexibility, with tips for squeezing in further shortcuts, streamlined kitchen notes, and illustrations to help you prep faster or cook without a recipe. There are standouts like Cheddar Waffles with Bacon Maple Syrup (bold flavors in less time) Charred Brussels Sprout Salad with Walnuts and Gorgonzola (the food processor streamlines chopping) Spaghetti and Drop Meatballs with Tomato Sauce (no rolling or shaping), and Apple Crumble Under the Broiler (almost instant dessert gratification).

Just cook as you read-and let the recipes guide you quickly and easily toward a delicious result.īittman overhauls hundreds of classics through clever (even unorthodox) use of equipment and techniques-encouraging what he calls “naturally fast cooking”-and the results are revelatory.

You’ll learn how to take advantage of the downtime to prepare vegetables while a soup simmers or toast croutons while whisking a dressing.
