Sam“Tamar changed the way I cook. I love her writing and her recipes (the white bolognese is wowowow) — the pages of this thing are absolutely wrecked with notes and food stains. She really shifted how I think about what I have on hand, the bits and bobs hanging out in my fridge and pantry, and how it can be spun into something delicious. I will be so weird if I ever meet her!”

Molly Hall“Keep this out on your counter all of the time and stop wasting stuff. I am obsessed with the index in the back. Absolutely bonkers amount of thought went into this cookbook and it is perfect. There is almost no leftover scrap you cannot find in here.”

Ginny Branch“The best cookbook. I am a terrible cook but I love Tamra’s adaptation of MK Fisher’s How to Cook a Wolf. Her writing is so lovely and makes cooking feel less intimidating and more approachable. If I get a wild hair to cook, this is often what I’ll flip through first!”

Elizabeth Clayton Wester“One of the five books that has influenced me the most, Adler has a way of thinking about food and the cooking of it as a part of life in a way that I hadn't ever seen articulated when I read it the first time. A must read for anyone interested in becoming a better cook, or a better eater.”

Katy“Cooking with economy and grace. Everything I love about making food for myself and my family. Allowed me to trust my intuition but also let accidents become something wonderful.”

shelley wright“A beloved winter ritual is a re-read of Tamar's gorgeous book on cooking with economy and grace. The only New Years' intention I set is to cook more like her, viewing every ingredient as valuable and worth coaxing into a meal.”
