From Apartment Therapy’s cooking site, The Kitchn, comes two books in one- a cooking school with 50 essential techniques and 150 recipes, as well as an essential guide to organizing your kitchen-plus storage tips, tool reviews, inspiration from real kitchens, maintenance suggestions, 200 photographs, and much more.

Since 2005, avid readers of The Kitchn have come to the site for delicious recipes, how-tos that make meal prep easier, and inspiration on what to buy, how to throw gatherings, and-in general-how to cook well. Now, The Kitchn presents its first cookbook ever, packed with tried-and-true reader-favorite recipes, as well as new classics you’ll want to make again and again. A cooking school with 50 essential techniques builds your skills so that you can confidently prepare easy anytime meals or experiment and get creative when you have more time on your hands.

The Kitchn also knows you’ll be more inspired to cook if you have an efficient personalized space, so founding editor Sara Kate Gillingham-Ryan and executive editor Faith Durand show you how to set up, organize, and stock your kitchen for the way you love to cook.
