Milk Street: The World in a Skillet

Milk Street: The World in a Skillet presents 125 one-pot recipes from the James Beard Award-winning Milk Street team. The book explores how to use a 12-inch skillet—America's most common cooking pan—to prepare dishes inspired by cuisines from more than 35 countries. Recipes draw on cooking traditions from around the world. Examples include Shrimp Rougaille, a Creole tomato sauce dish inspired by the East African islands of Mauritius and Réunion; Chicken Curry with Tomatoes and Bell Peppers, adapted from Indian kadai cooking; Spicy Glass Noodles with Ground Pork from Sichuan; Vietnamese-Style Lemon Grass Tofu; Mexican-Style Cauliflower Rice; Three-Cheese Pasta; Skillet-Roasted Peruvian-style Chicken; and Pizza with Fennel Salami and Red Onion. Recipes are organized by cooking time (an hour or less, 45 minutes, and under 30 minutes), with additional sections for side dishes, pastas, grains, stir-fries, pan roasts, and skillet-griddled sandwiches. The techniques are straightforward, and cleanup is simplified by using a single pan.
