Smitten Kitchen

“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”

“Every time I want to make a new recipe I usually google “(whatever it is) smitten kitchen” to see if Deb has a version, bc if she does, I know it’s great. My most trusted and true OG cooking blog turned website turned low key empire but she just keeps churning out killer recipes that are doable and delicious. All hail Deb!”

“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’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!”

“I have been using Smitten Kitchen as my go to spot for recipes for at least 15 years. Deb is thoughtful, funny, and practical. I’m not an expert cook, I’m easily intimidated, and I’m definitely on a budget, and she always has something worthwhile for me. I’ve created my standbys from her collection.”
