Milk Street: The New Rules: Recipes That Will Change the Way You Cook

Milk Street: The New Rules presents 75 cooking principles demonstrated across more than 200 recipes. Each rule addresses a specific cooking challenge or technique, such as charring to reduce bitterness, using pomegranate molasses to enhance neutral ingredients, extracting more flavor from supermarket tomatoes, steaming eggs instead of boiling them, single-sided searing for salmon, and using less liquid in pot roasts for concentrated flavor. The recipes include Charred Broccoli with Japanese-Style Toasted Sesame Sauce, Lentils with Swiss Chard and Pomegranate Molasses, Bucatini Pasta with Cherry Tomatoes and Fresh Sage, Soft-Cooked Eggs with Coconut, Tomatoes, and Spinach, Pan-Seared Salmon with Red Chili-Walnut Sauce, and Curry-Coconut Pot Roast. The book also covers techniques for tenderizing tough greens quickly, creating creamy textures without dairy, incorporating yogurt into baked goods, and replacing time-consuming marinades with quick finishing sauces. The New Rules combines simpler techniques, fresher flavors, and reliable recipes designed to improve cooking results.
