You have a friend in Homemade Kitchen.
Alana Chernila's philosophy and approach to cooking is so warm and inviting.
Chernila comes across as someone you'd welcome in your kitchen AND as someone that would welcome you in hers.
Each chapter title nourishes you with confidence and conviction.
Start where you are.
Feed yourself.
Do your best and then let go.
At the outset, Chernila stresses that homemade food is the opposite of perfection, giving the cook freedom to experiment and explore, put his or her own stamp on the food. This cookbook reminds you of the pleasure cooking can give.
The photographs are wonderful and the recipes are easy to follow. Most of the recipes call for easily found ingredients. Nothing too exotic, no cutting edge molecular gastronomy, no reinventing the wheel here. Real food for real people.
I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review.
