The smartest, simplest, most powerful recipes that will transform your home cooking--from the James Beard Award-winning team at Milk Street In the kitchen, brevity is brilliant. Short recipes are the ones cooks remember best--not only because they're simple to make and easy to repeat, but because they are boiled down to their elemental beauty and charm. In Milk Street Shorts , Christopher Kimball and his team of cooks and editors have developed a repertoire of nearly 150 genius recipes that are casual, improvisational, and fun. These recipes are not just short--they're bolder, better cooking because they're short. Their essential cleverness gives them power that does not require long ingredient lists or all-day cooking. And every recipe packs a punch--throw-it-together meals like "Nothing Soup," Chili Crisp Peanut Noodles , and Five-Ingredient Pork and Kimchi Stew , snacks and side dishes like Sunflower Hummus , Crispy Spiced Chickpeas , and Salt and Vinegar Smashed Potatoes , and smart ways to use your oven, like Reverse-Sear Pork Loin , Skillet Lasagna , and Two-Hour Turkey . Recipes are organized by simplicity--Short, Shorter, and Shortest--with chapters including skillet suppers, sheet-pan tray bakes, and weeknight desserts like Clementine Blender Cake .
