ABOUT THE BOOK

The Complete Milk Street TV Show Cookbook (2017-2019) is the definitive companion to the first three seasons of Christopher Kimball’s James Beard Award-winning public television show. This collection represents a fundamental shift in American home cooking, moving away from heavy French-based techniques toward a more global, "high-flavor" approach.

The cookbook serves as a manual for "The New Home Cooking," featuring:

• Global Techniques: Recipes that utilize bold ingredients and smarter methods from places like Thailand, Mexico, Turkey, and Vietnam—adapted for the American kitchen.
• Streamlined Processes: Each recipe is tested meticulously at the Milk Street kitchen to ensure it is faster, easier, and bolder than traditional versions.
• Comprehensive Coverage: Every single recipe from the first 60+ episodes is included, ranging from "Turkish Poached Eggs" to "Primal" Pan-Roasted Chicken.
• Educational Insights: Beyond the recipes, the book explains the "why" behind the techniques—such as why adding cornstarch to a marinade creates a better crust, or how heat interacts with different spices.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Christopher Kimball is one of the most influential figures in modern American culinary media. After famously parting ways with America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Illustrated (both of which he founded), Kimball launched Milk Street in 2016.

His philosophy at Milk Street is "The world is our kitchen." Kimball argued that for too long, Western home cooks were tethered to the 19th-century rules of Escoffier (browning meat, making stocks, long simmers). At Milk Street, he emphasizes the use of bright acidity, fresh herbs, and bold spices to create "big" flavor with less effort. A bow-tie-wearing traditionalist turned global explorer, Kimball has won multiple Emmy and James Beard awards for his work in making high-quality culinary education accessible to millions.
