Milk Street Simple

Milk Street Simple presents 200 weeknight recipes drawn from culinary traditions around the world and adapted for home cooking. Each recipe uses a handful of ingredients and requires minimal active cooking time, allowing dishes to be completed quickly or cooked hands-off while you attend to other tasks. The recipes rely on high-impact ingredients, transformative techniques, powerful flavor combinations, and layers of texture to elevate simple dishes—from pasta to roasted cauliflower—into satisfying meals. The collection emphasizes flexibility and straightforward preparation without unnecessary complexity. Recipe chapters cover noodles and pasta, grains and rice bowls, soups and stews, easy roasts and braises, quick broils and grilling, traybakes, vegetables and salads, stir fries, one-pot methods, and quick desserts. The book is an IACP finalist for Best General Cookbook.
