The New York Times Cookbook

 

Sam Sifton, an assistant managing editor of The New York Times and founding editor of NYT Cooking, has inspired millions of home cooks with his informal, improvisational No-Recipe Recipes, published in his beloved regular newsletter, "What to Cook." Sifton's argument is a simple one: Cooking with a freeform recipe is a kitchen skill every home cook can develop, it's easier than you think, and it's an easy way to make nightly cooking more satisfying and fun.
