«Sie brauchen kein Rezept。»Früher hat Sam Sifton nach Rezeptbuch gekocht, dazu jeden Tag frisch alle Zutaten eingekauft。 Das ist zeitintensiv und manchmal hat man eben diese nicht oder keine Lust。 Dann zaubert man etwas aus seinem Vorrat zusammen。 Improvisieren ist in!

Dafür braucht man kein Rezept! Sam begann «bevorzugte Küchenbegleiter» wie Gewürze, Knoblauch, Hülsenfrüchte, Mehl, Eier, Milchprodukte, Grundnahrungsmittel und Dosenware zu lagern und beim Kochen zu kombinieren, rein in die Pfanne, in den Topf, was zusammenpassen mag。 Dosentomaten und anderes Gemüse, Olivenöl, Knoblauch, Mozzarella, Parmesan und diverse Käsesorten, Brot, (gern auch alt), Toast, Quesadillas, Tacos, Schinken Würzsaucen und -pasten sind hier der Grundstock。 Grundsätzliches Verständnis vom Kochen sollte man besitzen。 Dieses Kochbuch ist ein Ort der Inspiration。 Sam gibt die Zutaten vor, beschreibt, was er damit fabriziert hat, das Foto als Endprodukt und am Ende gibt es Tipps und Variationsmöglichkeiten。 Amerika ist ein Einwanderungsland, und genau das kommt zum Ausdruck。 Verschiedene Kulturen mischen sich auf einem Teller zu neuen Gerichten zusammen。 Gegenseitige Inspiration nennt man das – nicht kulturelle Aneignung!Alles beginnt mit dem Frühstück: «Erdnussbutter-Smothie» mit Bananen, Milch und Erdnussbutter; «Gekühlte Orangen mit Joghurt» (Braucht man dazu ein Rezept?); und einigen Varianten die süß-salzig variiert sind, wie «Kaya-Toast mit Eiern»。 Kaya musst ich googeln, es ist eine Kokosmarmelade heimisch in südostasiatischen Ländern wie Malaysia, Indonesien, den Philippinen oder Singapur, auch bei uns zu erhalten。 Alternativ kann man jede Marmelade nehmen, so der Tipp, die dick zwischen zwei Toasthälften geschmiert wird und dazu gekochte Eier, die geviertelt in Sojasoße mit weißem Pfeffer gewälzt in einer Schüssel dazu gereicht werden。 «Gegrillter Taleggio mit Honig und Spiegelei» finden wir unter «Suppen, Sandwiches, Abendessen», wobei dies Kapitel ähnlich dem Frühstück gestaltet und gegenseitig austauschbar ist。 Hier gibt es diese typisch amerikanischen Variationen wie «Erdnussbuttersandwich mit Sriracha und Gewürzgurken»。 Sriracha kennt jeder, es ist diese sehr scharfe Chilisoße mit dem spitzen grünen Deckel。 Es gibt eine Menge Banales, wie ein Toast mit Mayonnaise bestreichen, Tomatenscheiben drauf, was man bei Bedarf mit Mozzarella und Basilikum ausbauen kann。 Braucht es dazu ein Rezept? Oder Pilze braten und dazu Baguette essen oder selbige mit Sahne und Senf anreichern, auf Toast mit Spiegelei。Die Blumenkohlsuppe werde ich ausprobieren: diesen mit Olivenöl, Pfeffer, Salz im Ofen bei 200 Grad weich garen, mit Artischockenherzen aus der Dose, Milch und Brühe pürieren, geriebenen Parmesan dazu。 Die schnelle Fischsuppe liest sich lecker an。 Weniger geschmackvoll: Eine typische asiatische Instant-Nudelsuppe aus der Tüte mit heißem Wasser übergießen, ein Ei und Kräuter einrühren。 New Yorker «Spiedies» entstammen der italienischen Küche – marinierte Fleischspieße。 Hier gibt es ein Rezept, bei dem das Fleisch in einer Bloody Mary mariniert wird。 Es gibt einfache Salatvorschläge, wie den «Salat aus gerösteten Süßkartoffeln» oder der «Zucchinisalat mit Joghurt und Kräutern»。 Zucchini in dünne Scheiben schneiden, salzen, pfeffern und mit Zitronensaft und abgeriebener Zitronenschale vermengen, Joghurt hinzufügen und verrühren, Petersilie, Minze, Samen oder Nüsse darüberstreuen, etwas Parmesan darüber reiben。Es gibt ein paar Grünkohlrezepte, diverses mit Gemüse wie «Brokkoli mit Schinken und geschmolzenem Käse», «Mit Miso glasierte Auberginen mit Reis», interessant die «Spargel-Boursin-Tarte» aus TK-Blätterteig, Spargel, Boursin-Käse und Rucola; Ideen zu gefüllten Taccos。 Beim «Reis-Bohnen-Allerlei» gibt man Dosengemüse (hier die roten Bohnen) auf den Reis mit Schinkenspeck und Gewürzen – Cowboy meets Asia。 In diese Richtung gibt es einiges。 Das orientalische Pilaw wird hier mit Trockenfrüchten und Mandelblättchen arrangiert, zum fertigen Brathuhn gereicht。 Geratener Reis mit TK-Gemüse, und noch «leckerer»: gebratener Reis mit Ketchup und Kimchi, angereichert mit Frühlingszwiebeln, Karotten und Knoblauch。 Fertige Ravioli mit Entenleber-Mouse- Soße, «Pasta mit Wurst und Salbei», mit Blauschimmelkäse und Walnüssen oder mit Kichererbsen, Amatriciana, Putanesca, bekanntes aus der italienischen Küche – wobei die Soßen hier solange köcheln, wie die Pasta braucht 。。。 Es gibt einiges mehr an Pastagerichten。 Gebratene Garnelen, oder mit Worshestershire-Soße und Sahne, Jakobsmuschelsalat, oder mit Miso glasiert gebraten auf Reis; «Gedämpfte Miesmuscheln mit Tomaten und Chorizo», Kabeljaufrikadellen, «Gebackener Fisch mit Soja, Ingwer und Frühlingszwiebeln», es gibt eine Menge Fisch- und Meeresfrüchterezepte, die es auszuprobieren lohnt。 Mariniert, gebraten, mit Majo, mit scharfer Barbecue-Soße, der Lachs hat einiges zu bieten。 «Teriyaki-Lachs mit grünem Salat»; dazu schreibt Sam Swifton: «Na gut, es ist kein echtes Teriyaki-Gericht, aber es ist dennoch verdammt gut。 Es ruft das Geschmackserlebnis hervor, so wie einen ein Bild von einem Lavendelfeld an die Provence erinnert。 Servieren Sie Reis dazu。» Na ja – Diese aufgekochte, angedickte Sojasoße erinnert mich garantiert nicht an Frankreich oder Lavendelfelder。 War Sam schon einmal in Frankreich?Beim Fleisch steht Hähnchen an wichtigster Stelle。 «Panzarella mit Grillhähnchen», beim «Supereinfaches Teriyaki-Hähnchen» wird erwähnt, dass man keine richtige Teriyaki-Sauce benötigt und auch das Fleisch nicht stundenlang einlegen muss。 Aus Sojasoße, Knoblauch, Ingwer, Zimt eine Soße herstellen, die man zum fertigen Brathähnchen gibt。 Hühnchenfleisch mit Tomaten und Gewürzen in den Schnellkochtopf geben und auf Tacos servieren。 «Melasse Brathähnchen», «Pfannenhähnchen mit Gemüse und Wein» und dazu Couscous, überbackene Schenkel mit Tomatensoße und Mozzarella, oder «Schnell gegartes Hühnchen: Während das Hähnchen brät, kochen Sie Reis oder ein paar Kartoffeln。 Auch ein Salat oder gedämpftes grünes Gemüse passen perfekt»。 Ein kleines Kapitel zeigt andere Fleischsorten wie Lammkotelett, Schweinekotelett。 «Smashed Potats» haben mir gefallen, die frei nach Gusto belegt werden: Im Backofen garen, herausnehmen, plattdrücken und mit Gemüse, Speck usw。 belegen, Käse obern drauf, zurück kurz in den Ofen, mit Joghurt, Sahne usw。 bekleckern。 Es folgen Hack-Gerichte。 Gebackene Bananen mit Vanilleeis, «Erdbeereis mit heißer Schokoladensauce» und andere Desserts geben den Abschluss, wobei das Eis meist aus dem Supermarkt stammt。 Ein Kochbuch mit simplen Gerichten für Menschen, bei denen es auch mal schnell gehen muss。 Gerichte, die aus dem Vorratsschrank zusammengestellt werden, bzw。 mit einem frischen Teil (kann auch gefroren sein)。 Gute Ideen für den Fall, dass man das Haus nicht verlassen kann oder will。 Vorratshaltung mit haltbaren Lebensmitteln ist eine wichtige Voraussetzung – und dann gemütlich die Beine hochlegen。 Hier hat die Weltküche Einhalt gezogen, wird kombiniert: Pasta, Tacos, Reis, Kartoffeln, Sojasoße, Erdnussbutter, Kimchi, Kaya, Mozzarella, Taleggio, Jalapeño, Sriracha, Sahne, Worshestershire-Soße。 Für mich persönlich war vieles vielleicht zu amerikanisch; zu einfach, zu banal, um es zu erwähnen, zu pampig, zu süß, zu fettig, zu schnell auf den Tisch gebracht, zu viel Fleisch。 Das Frische liegt mir mehr。 Aber falls man mal eingesperrt ist, kann man auf das Buch zurückgreifen。 Einige Gerichte haben mir aber gut gefallen, insbesondere Salate und Fischgerichte。Sam Sifton ist stellvertretender «Managing Editor» bei der «New York Times» und für die Ressorts Kultur und Lifestyle zuständig。 Zudem ist er Redakteur für Food-Themen bei der »Times« und Kolumnist des «New York Times Magazine»。 Als Restaurantkritiker hat er einige kulinarische Erfahrungen gesammelt, die ihm auch als Autor von Kochbüchern zugutekommen。 。。。more

Interesting concept but most of these are similar to things I've come up with on my own so this didn't feel very helpful。。。。 nice idea for people who aren't at the who-needs-a-recipe stage of cooking yet。 Interesting concept but most of these are similar to things I've come up with on my own so this didn't feel very helpful。。。。 nice idea for people who aren't at the who-needs-a-recipe stage of cooking yet。 。。。more

Foucauldians everywhere, rejoice: a post-structuralist cookbook has come at last。

Sam Sifton is the new Ruth Reichl, and that’s saying something。 I have read his Food newsletters religiously, complained to him directly when the NYTCooking Facebook group went to hell (he replied!), and still hold out hope he will be my boss someday。 Only giving four stars because I’ll never be making clams for dinner, and that section is too bulky for me。 Otherwise it’s pure Sifton-gold。

Lindsay

Definitely worth checking out。 I gained some good tips and recipes - and his writing is witty, brief and easy to follow。

We were sitting in a brew pub in La Jolla, California, when I told the waitress how much I appreciated the chef's twist on gumbo and asked if I might have the recipe。 Such requests rarely result in a cook handing over the secrets of the kitchen but sometimes they do。 In a few minutes, the waitress came back to our table and handed me one of those cheap-paper notes on which orders are written。 On the back, was a list of ingredients written in pencil: no quantities, no temperatures, no times, no p We were sitting in a brew pub in La Jolla, California, when I told the waitress how much I appreciated the chef's twist on gumbo and asked if I might have the recipe。 Such requests rarely result in a cook handing over the secrets of the kitchen but sometimes they do。 In a few minutes, the waitress came back to our table and handed me one of those cheap-paper notes on which orders are written。 On the back, was a list of ingredients written in pencil: no quantities, no temperatures, no times, no procedures。 This was the chef's way of granting my request for the recipe and, frankly, it was all of the recipe that I needed。 It is an honour to be asked by others for one of "my recipes" and I always feel like a jerk by responding that I don't really cook from recipes so I don't have one to hand over。 But this is true。 I will often read a recipe (or five recipes for the same thing but from different sources) and then cook it the way I think seems best。 Since I don't write down quantities, temperatures, times or procedures, I don't have these to give。 Sam Sifton cooks that way。 He knows how to read a cookbook and he knows how to follow a recipe but mostly he just cooks。 This book contains a little over one hundred descriptions of how to make all manner of dishes -- appetizers, soup, sandwiches, fish, fowl, meat and desserts -- but, if one takes into account his suggestions for varying these descriptions, they add up to several hundred dishes。 I love his sense of measurement: a glurg of oil, a fistful of herbs, a splash of cream, a healthy shake of ground cumin, some beer。 I love it because I cook like that。 There are as many styles of cooking as there are varieties of dance。 Each cook gets to find the one that works for them。 If this kind of dancing in the kitchen sounds perfect to you, this is a very good book to add to your shelf。 If not, eschew it。 。。。more

For everyone who feels the worst part of being an adult is figuring out what to feed everyone every。damn。day…。I loved his humorous and easy way of explaining how to cook on the fly。 This book makes cooking more accessible, dare I say friendly? to those of us who would rather be anywhere but in the kitchen。

Jeslyn

I love this cookbook。 I love that in my efforts to overcome the doldrums of opening fridge or pantry and staring, glassy-eyed and uninspired, I can flip once more through the pages of the book and revive my interest and creativity。 I love that there are no measurements, and that the variations are equally simple at the bottom。 The have-on-hand recommendations are very helpful too, not because I couldn’t come up with reasonable staples on my own, but because too often when the doldrums hit, my ey I love this cookbook。 I love that in my efforts to overcome the doldrums of opening fridge or pantry and staring, glassy-eyed and uninspired, I can flip once more through the pages of the book and revive my interest and creativity。 I love that there are no measurements, and that the variations are equally simple at the bottom。 The have-on-hand recommendations are very helpful too, not because I couldn’t come up with reasonable staples on my own, but because too often when the doldrums hit, my eyes pass over those cans, boxes, crisper drawers, etc and I don’t use them, or when in the grocery I too often take the east way out and select prepped foods。 Probably too much kitchen confession from me, ha! 。。。more

He is right。 You don't need a recipe。 There are some good ideas here, but I'm glad I got it from the library and didn't spend money on it。 He is right。 You don't need a recipe。 There are some good ideas here, but I'm glad I got it from the library and didn't spend money on it。 。。。more

Enjoyed this concept of buying a list of pantry items and then having lots of options。

Melissa

Read every word。 The cookbook I didn’t know I needed—help for a home cook who’s straddling that hot wire between Wanna-Be and Lazy as Sin。 Borrowed this copy from the library, purchasing one for myself before my head hits the pillow。

So far the "recipes" are hit or miss - which is sortof baked into the concept I suppose。 I have a few new and delicious "barely think about them" go-tos for dinner, and it's helping me shift away from my strongly ingrained need for recipe precision (I was raised and taught to cook by a home-ec teacher)。 On the other hand, when they fail they are really depressingly bad。 I suppose that points to places I need to build intuition to know when to deviate from the guidelines, but don't take a bad fai So far the "recipes" are hit or miss - which is sortof baked into the concept I suppose。 I have a few new and delicious "barely think about them" go-tos for dinner, and it's helping me shift away from my strongly ingrained need for recipe precision (I was raised and taught to cook by a home-ec teacher)。 On the other hand, when they fail they are really depressingly bad。 I suppose that points to places I need to build intuition to know when to deviate from the guidelines, but don't take a bad fail as a sign that YOU are a bad cook。 These are not guaranteed to succeed recipes, not in the way I would cook ANYTHING from a David Tanis cookbook or America's Test Kitchen's Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs and know it would work。 On the other other hand, I would absolutely recommend this for an intimidated adult new to cooking, maybe for a college kid? (But I would also get them the Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs to teach them how to read reliable recipes) (And also Salt Fat Acid Heat to teach intuition, I'm working through that one now)。 。。。more

Consulted a few times and tried out a few new combinations。Lots of easy meals to satisfy your appetites。

This is a great book to use as a jumping off point for pantry meals。 Uses simple to find ingredients in new way (savory French toast!)。 This one spurred my imagination for sure。

Yes, I DID read a cookbook cover to cover and I LIKED it。

Sifton's cookbook may have changed my life。 I don't really enjoy cooking。。。I find having to refer to recipes tedious and frankly don't want to think about it that hard。 This book is a primer in thinking about cooking a whole different way: more on-the-fly, experimentally。 It doesn't hurt that each No-recipe recipe is accompanied by a gorgeous photo and the book itself is a fabulous cloth-bound thing。 Sifton's commentary is humorous and succinct。 With a few more read throughs I may actually decid Sifton's cookbook may have changed my life。 I don't really enjoy cooking。。。I find having to refer to recipes tedious and frankly don't want to think about it that hard。 This book is a primer in thinking about cooking a whole different way: more on-the-fly, experimentally。 It doesn't hurt that each No-recipe recipe is accompanied by a gorgeous photo and the book itself is a fabulous cloth-bound thing。 Sifton's commentary is humorous and succinct。 With a few more read throughs I may actually decide that cooking isn't so bad after all。 And will have discovered a few staples to enhance my meals that make me feel fancier than I actually am。 。。。more

Lots of good “non-recipes”!

Sam Sifton writes a cooking column for the NYT and he always has Wednesday as his no recipe day。 That is my favorite recipe to read and I have learned so much from him。 He has made me more adventurous and willing to substitute ingredients and add things。 Here’s an example of one of his recipes:Rice and Beans with extras。 Cook a cup or two of rice as you usually do。 As the rice steams away, dice an onion and sweat it in a saucepan with a drizzle or two of olive oil set over medium high heat。 When Sam Sifton writes a cooking column for the NYT and he always has Wednesday as his no recipe day。 That is my favorite recipe to read and I have learned so much from him。 He has made me more adventurous and willing to substitute ingredients and add things。 Here’s an example of one of his recipes:Rice and Beans with extras。 Cook a cup or two of rice as you usually do。 As the rice steams away, dice an onion and sweat it in a saucepan with a drizzle or two of olive oil set over medium high heat。 When the onion begins to go translucent, add a few cloves of chopped garlic and some sausage and cook until the meat has started to crisp and the onion has started to caramelize。 Add a healthy dusting of cumin, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and allow it all to go muddy and fragrant。 Splash the mixture with orange juice, maybe half a cup, and allow it to cook down, almost to a syrup。 Then add a drained can of black beans and stir, turning down the heat and allowing the flavors to come together, perhaps using a spoon to mash some of the beans as they book。 Serve it all on top of the finished rice, adorned with wedges of lime and accompanied by warm tortillas。 And there’s a list of ingredients and a picture of the finished dish。 I have this book as a library book and it is overdue。 I have taken it out of the library 3x this year。 I think I need to buy it。 。。。more

This is my kind of cookbook! No measurements given, just ingredients。 Don't have those ingredients? There's plenty of suggestions。 It's much more focused on improvising than any other cookbook I've ever looked through。 It admittedly may be stressful for some, but this is fantastic for me。 My only complain is it felt too short。 I want more!

Some genuinely good ideas here

Loree

Great little un-cookbook that would help take the not-completely-new cook from following recipes to cooking by taste。 The descriptions are good, the photos are gorgeous, and reminds me I’m not toasting my bread toasty enough! That’s what gives you the great flavor! The only thing I can’t get with is he likes his fried eggs browned with some lacey edges。 Woo! Not my preference! To each their own! :)
