Earnest and accommodating. . . . It's no surprise that Secret is as much a joy to curl up with as it is to cook from; you'll be reminded of Wilson's endearing prose every time you peel a carrot or reach for a metal spider., "Wilson walks readers through the actual magic that can happen in a kitchen when a cook dials into their unique set of circumstances (access to ingredients, tools and even their mood) to show that the home kitchen can be a more comfortable and creative place. Wilson advises that it's OK to cut corners, it's OK to have preferences and, most importantly, it's OK to make mistakes because all of that makes you a better cook. Though there are recipes like "soup for frayed nerves," the whole is more manifesto than cookbook, a guide on how to use your kitchen in a way that is generous, malleable and fun.", Bee Wilson is the ultimate kitchen friend: smart, funny, conscientious and patient, this is a book you'll want to spend time with, in and out of the kitchen., It's not often that a genuinely game-changing cookbook comes out, but this accomplished, approachable and helpful book--its writing as nourishing as the recipes--is most definitely it. Quite frankly, there's not a kitchen that should be without a copy of The Secret of Cooking., Bee Wilson is a dreamy writer. . . . She focuses like a laser beam on the things that make capable cooks capable. . . . The Secret of Cooking will build on what you already know in the kitchen, help you refine how you think about food, and very likely take your kitchen confidence--and the pleasure you get from cooking--to new heights., Absolutely grand. . . . Wilson tosses in practical tips along the way, but the overall message comforting me is her reminder that, 'The best way to cook anything is the one that works best for you and your life right now.', The way [Wilson] writes, like how I imagine she cooks, is personal and breezy, sweeping the reader along to address the task at hand., The Secret of Cooking is just magnificent. Part cookbook, part kitchen philosophy, it's beautifully written, eternally wise and impossible to put down. Plus recipes you'll return to again and again., Food writer Bee Wilson is like a kind older sister. . . . She gives us strategies--how to figure out what flavors go together so you can use what you have, how to build a repertoire of favorites for your family that everybody will really look forward to, and the most important thing, how to cut yourself some slack when everything goes wrong. Basically, she keeps saying you should cook for the family you have, for the palate you have and for the life you have., Bee Wilson might be the most honest food writer out there. . . . In addition to simple, comforting recipes that she really truly walks you through, [The Secret of Cooking] is packed with advice on 'cooking from a standing start' (i.e. when your best self didn't think to soak the beans overnight) and three things she knows to be true about feeding picky young eaters. (Each of her three kids was particular in their own way.), Wisdom and notes from a lifetime of reading, thinking, cooking, and eating. And it's not just about food but about how we live, and how we look after ourselves and each other.--Diana Henry Bee Wilson is the ultimate kitchen friend: smart, funny, conscientious and patient, this is a book you'll want to spend time with, in and out of the kitchen.--Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer, authors of Honey & Co: Food from the Middle East It's not often that a genuinely game-changing cook book comes out, but this accomplished, approachable and helpful book--its writing as nourishing as the recipes--is most definitely it. Quite frankly, there's not a kitchen that should be without a copy of The Secret of Cooking .--Nigella Lawson Reading The Secret of Cooking is like sitting in a warm kitchen with an exceptionally articulate friend. I don't need a lot of convincing to pick up a pan, but Wilson's tips are so clever, her recipes so tempting, and her vignettes of family life so candid, that this is a book I can read for pleasure alone.--Niki Segnit, author of The Flavour Thesaurus, "As a writer, I couldn't stop reading Bee Wilson's chatty, smooth prose in The Secret of Cooking, my new kitchen companion. As a cook, it delights me to know that if I work through every recipe in this book--which reads like an essay for living as much as a witch's Book of Shadows--I will learn something new about cooking with each one. Some recipes are essentials, such as Ms. Wilson's "universal sauces": her go-to red curry, cilantro chutney and tomato sauce. And others, like her butter-poached carrots, may positively change your life. The lessons here are humble yet lasting.", [Wilson] devotes more than 400 pages to dismantling the roadblocks that stand in the way of that pleasure--time, money, guilt, fear, anxiety, insecurity and a raft of other emotions--to help us figure out ways of cooking that work for us., I somehow got my hands on an early copy of Bee Wilson's The Secret of Cooking, and I've been using it ever since. A lot of cookbooks promise a less stressful, more enjoyable, life in the kitchen, as this one does. But you only have to look at Wilson's section headings to know she is going to be true to her claims. . . . She is about probability, not possibility; she wants her reader to cook for the life they have rather than for some impossible fantasy existence, because this is how she cooks herself, every day. Every page is full of tricks and shortcuts and substitutions: 15 pages alone are devoted to that simple but immensely useful and versatile bit of kit, the box grater. (NB it really isn't just for cheese.), The beauty of The Secret of Cooking lies in Wilson's attention to things that often go unnoticed or unsaid. Whether prompting you to take a fresh look at a ubiquitous tool or everyday ingredient or inviting you to time cooking tasks with songs instead of a clock, her advice makes moments in the kitchen more enjoyable., Bee Wilson's book is like being invited into a warm, cozy kitchen for a cup of tea. Her writing, her recipes and her warm style of talking about food makes you want to cook your way through much of the book. She understands that we all live busy, crazy lives and often it's challenging to find time for cooking., Reading [The Secret of Cooking] feels like talking to a therapist who's trying to break you out of a cooking rut. . . . Wilson's approach feels liberating and reminds me that cooking for joy or just to get by isn't just okay but welcome., Wilson suggests remedies for the self, rather than for satisfying other people. She delights in shortcuts and simplicity. Cook chicken from a cold oven; grate ginger with the skin on; always use a discard bowl. Measure out time with songs, rather than forget to set the timer on your phone. . . . [The Secret of Cooking] is a meditation on cooking for one, as well as the steadying power of routine, but also on varied week-night eating, and the life-giving force of feasting together., Wisdom and notes from a lifetime of reading, thinking, cooking, and eating. And it's not just about food but about how we live, and how we look after ourselves and each other., Wilson's book provides plenty to learn for all levels of home cooks who have the desire to indulge in the contemplation and wisdom she provides., Reading The Secret of Cooking is like sitting in a warm kitchen with an exceptionally articulate friend. I don't need a lot of convincing to pick up a pan, but Wilson's tips are so clever, her recipes so tempting, and her vignettes of family life so candid, that this is a book I can read for pleasure alone.

Bee holds out a hand to anyone who wants doable, delicious recipes, the kind of unfussy food that makes every day taste better: quick feasts from a can of beans; fast, medium, and slow ragus; and seven ways to cook a carrot. Alongside thoughts on how to cook when you're alone, with children, or just plain tired, Bee offers 140 recipes including: the simplest chicken stew even the pickiest of eaters (aka children) will love Zucchini and Herb Fritters, a Grated Tomato and Butter Pasta Sauce (with or without shrimp), and other ways of making your box grater work for you salads to savor, like a tuna salad with anchovy dressing leisurely projects like an Aromatic All-Purpose Curry Powder and quicker food for friends (try Bulgar and Eggplant Pilaf with pistachio and lemon) the loveliest red curry sauce you can make in your instant pot universal desserts, or those gluten-free and dairy-free sweets that you can serve no matter who comes over, like a Vegan Pear, Lemon, and Ginger Cake With advice on seasoning, cleaning up, and choosing the best equipment, Wilson reimagines modern cooking and brings the spark back into everyday meals. As Bee says, "There's still magic in the kitchen, if you know where to look." Shall we cook?

- a***l (150)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseExcellent! Retrostar Music is a very fair seller - they gave me a 5% discount on top of an already great price! They also communicated the status of my order quite frequently. The CD I ordered came in a box with plenty of wrapping paper to ensure it would not get beaten up in shipping. Usually sellers just send CDs in envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived in a box. The CD itself is in perfect condition. A+ experience! I would highly recommend this seller!I Can Only Imagine - The Very Best of MercyMe Audio CD (#276364397907)
