What Goes with What: 100 Recipes, 20 Charts, Endless Possibilities
Details
From bestselling cookbook author Julia Turshen comes What Goes with What—an original, inspired, and interactive approach to cooking that takes the guesswork out of everyday meals. Julia is a home cook's best friend, known for her simple, no-frills, yet utterly satisfying recipes, as well as her authentic, relatable, problem-solving approach. Turn to this book when you want to know what else we can make or you need dessert with a few basic pantry ingredients!
In her latest book, Julia offers readers a new way to think about cooking—one that focuses on mastering the alchemy of a meal and then offers endless iterations. Organized into six sections (salads and sandwiches; soups, stews and braises; rice, more grains, and pasta; vegetables; mains; and baked goods), Julia arms readers with 20 charts and 100 recipes that teach them how to build a successful dish, while making ample room for creativity and personal preference.
Just as artists learn to mix colors and combine elements to create something beautiful, Julia's approach teaches us to see cooking as an art form—understanding which flavors, textures, and techniques complement each other to transform the seemingly boring contents of our fridge into an exciting meal.
How fitting that we'll be discussing this artistic approach to meal prep at Porter Mills Art studio. Most of the studios will be closed but many of the artists have samples of their work displayed in the halls and in the central spaces.
