"i checked this book out from the library instead of buying it. i felt like it was a bit condescending as if we all were heathens who couldn't/wouldn't cook the right way, but she felt challenged to give us recipes that she wouldn't eat herself that all came from a can or jar. why couldn't it be a collection of recipes that she actually uses that were easy and fast? i guess because she doesn't eat that way? then what/how does she eat? i'm more curious about that. to be fair, the recipes from other people seemed like it was actually recipes that they actually used daily."
"I read a review of this book and thought it would make a nice addition to my collection. The premise is to create flavorful recipes using on-hand items in your pantry. So far so good, however, I don't keep farro, fennel pollen, passato, chestnut honey, ghee, ventresca, etc. as staples in my Mother Hubbard Cupboard."
"Not nearly slapdash enough to make it worthwhile -- these recipes run perilously close to actual cooking for my tastes -- but it did include a few useful ideas. One was to use a microplane grater when you need crushed garlic. It's a lot easier to clean than a garlic crusher (although you pretty much have to give up on the final nub that you're holding onto, unless there's some trick I haven't figured out) and the results are less fibrous.
"I'm down with the idea of trying to combine pantry items with fresh items, however, it's rather gourmet and as much as I'd like to admit I'm gourmet, it's a little over the top, even for me. Lots of capers, anchovies, eggplant paste. I guess, those 3 flavors especially, I'm not on board with. But I'm determined to mark at least a few and whip 'em up."
