melanieapril 's review for:
The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook
by Deb Perelman
I don't think I had ever read a cookbook cover-to-cover before this one, but Deb Perelman's book is as addictive as her blog. I want to make EVERYTHING but so far have only made the 'sweet peas and shells alfredo,' which were easy and delicious. This is really everything a good cookbook should be: clear, realistic, AND aspirational. I also appreciate that Deb keeps her stories light and her humor self-deprecating - it's a cookbook not a memoir, after all. Another thing - the book is even prettier without the dust jacket, which I LOVE because who wants to deal with a dust jacket in a kitchen anyway?
