Loyal Deb-o-tee and she’s never once steered me wrong. The Australian equivalent is Nagi from RecipeTin Eats.

I might as well retire all cookbooks I own and just look things up on Deb’s website

She’s the queen. Taught me how to cook in my early 20s. My (dirty, well-loved) signed cookbooks are prized possessions.

“All of her cookbooks are worth owning (I am partial to the second one) but since she gives so much for free online, I suggest making a few recipes, see what you like, look at the recipe indexes for each book, THEN invest :)”

“deb perelman is functionally my third roommate — she reminds me to weigh my dry ingredients, has a recipe for every combination of items in my fridge and pantry, and tells me it’s ok when i burn the brown butter the first time”

“Deb Perelman’s blog is a classic, with everything from simple dinners, delicious baked goods, cocktails, and ways to turn freezer staples into meals that feel planned out. She’s a beautiful writer and has never led me astray in the kitchen!”
