Happy Pub Day to this big beautiful cookbook!!!!!!

.

Thank you to @w.w.norton and @amandahesser for this gifted review copy of The Essential New York Times Cookbook: The Recipes Of Record! After ten years a new revised edition of this cookbook is being released with 120 new recipes added. This books literally has more than a thousand easy to follow delicious recipes. So many recipes and with such a wide variety to chose from you could literally just open the book to a random page and let fate decide “what’s for dinner?”. Which is exactly what we did! Swipe to see a picture of Pamela Sherrid’s Summer Pasta. This was so easy and delicious, and a perfect meal for those early Fall evenings that are still holding on to the warmth of Summer!

.

There are so many things to love about this cookbook, including the detailed serving suggestions that accompany each recipe, the tips and tricks included in the cooking notes, and the stories attached to many recipes.

.

If ever you wanted an ultimate reference cookbook that could lead you through just about any type of cuisine imaginable, this would be it. I can’t wait to continue cooking my way through this cookbook after we get through our move.
