Title: The Minimalist Cooks Dinner by Mark Bittman ISBN: 0767906713 Publisher: Broadway Books Pub. Date: 11 September, 2001 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $26.00 |

Summary: This book changed the way I cook
Comment: My usual routine was to open a can of sauce and throw it over spaghetti weeknights, and then make something fantastic (and complicated) on weekends. Not anymore. Although the recipes in this book are delicious, easy and quick, the real value for me was in the technique lessons he sneaks into every recipe (like searing and steaming chicken breasts) and the encouragement to create your own variations of the recipes. I also liked his flavor combinations- he includes some that I've never tried before as well as the classics, but they've all been very tasty.
I can't recommend this book enough. I also liked "The minimalist cooks at home".

Summary: Quick, Easy Cooking
Comment: Life can get hectic, and like most young singles, I rarely find time to cook for myself. When I do try new recipes, I often find them good, but too time-consuming for cooking for one. This cookbook changed my way of thinking. I can cook quick and healthy meals that taste great in less than 40 minutes. Each of Bittman's recipes includes suggestions for saving time, complimentary wines, and side dishes to serve. This makes me seem an excellent hostess when I try his suggestions!

Summary: beware of overlap recipes from How to Cook Everything (HTCE)
Comment: The recipes alone deserve 5 out of 5 stars. However, since I own both HTCE and the two Minimalist volumes, I was chagrined to find overlap between HTCE and each of the Minimalist books. The Minimalist books do not overlap.
Save your money-- I recommend only buying HTCE. If you are interested in the other non-overlapping recipes, borrow the book from friends or libraries.
The Minimalist cooks dinner has a much more user-friendly layout, organization than HTCE and the first Minimalist book. An ideal Bittman cookbook would be all of the recipes from his books together, with the layout and organization of this volume. That would be a truly incredible cookbook, but alas, I keep on dreaming...
