Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Posole salad

    • louie734 on April 04, 2020

      https://leitesculinaria.com/235052/recipes-posole-salad.html

  • Corn-and-cheddar chowder

    • TheSparkThatBled on August 04, 2020

      I cooked this with slightly reduced portions because of what I had on hand. It turned out great and the leftovers reheated well too.

  • Smoky three-bean soup with tomatillo salsa

    • TheSparkThatBled on August 04, 2020

      I cooked this when I first bought the book. As written I found the broth to be too thin and the spicing to be one note. I think it could be good with some tweaks.

  • Red beans and rice with tangy zucchini

    • deboChicago on February 11, 2020

      This was very tasty. Would definitely make it again.

  • Whole wheat pasta with carrot-top pesto

    • mjperkins on December 08, 2019

      Made just the pesto which is very yummy.

  • Charred whole cauliflower with mustard seeds

    • mjes on August 31, 2021

      I enjoy roasted cauliflower and am always on the lookout for new seasoning ideas. This South Asian flavor combination works well while the mustard seeds are used in sufficient quantity to provide a textural contrast.

  • Skillet chicken Parm with spicy breadcrumbs

    • abrownb1 on August 12, 2019

      Good flavor but the sauce is very watery even after reducing for a while and doesn't really coat the chicken.

  • Moroccan-spiced chicken with carrots and olives

    • Kategi on November 03, 2019

      I used kalamata olives because I like them better and I already had them. I took some of the spices and put it into the chicken broth for the couscous I made to go with it. It was fast and easy. Maybe a little bland. I definitely undersalted. I didn’t have the size pan they told me so I used my cast iron pan and I think it was too much liquid. I’d cut down the liquid next time by nearly half.

  • Brown-butter salmon with tomatoes and capers

    • Cheri on September 22, 2019

      This is so easy and quick to prepare. It’s fabulous with fresh picked cherry tomatoes. Recommended

  • Dry-brined turkey with oyster-cornbread stuffing and gravy

    • ellwell on November 26, 2022

      This turkey method was a hit—probably the best fresh bird I have ever done. There was a competition in our household: traditional roasted in the oven (me) vs. fried outside in the fryer (all the men). I used the Bittman 4 day dry brine but just before putting in the oven, I slathered it in duck fat (go me! ). It came out with a beautiful color, the meat was not dry and everyone was happy. But I lost the competition, cuz fried turkey is awesome and an oven just cant get the skin that crispy. Sooo…. If you don’t have a fryer, I would recommend this method over all the others I have tried up to my ripe old age of 60.

Publishers Text

The first major new work from the man who taught America How to Cook Everything is truly the one book a cook needs for a perfect dinner--easy, fancy, or meatless, as the occasion requires.

Mark Bittman is revered for his simple, straightforward, and flexible approach to everyday cooking. In Dinner for Everyone, he shares 100 essential main dishes, each with easy, vegan, and all-out recipes as the mood or occasion requires. These 300 all-new recipes, accompanied by more than 100 full-color photographs, form a diverse collection that includes quick meals for busy weeknights (hearty soups, tacos, and one-pot pastas), creative plant-based fare that will please both vegans and non-vegans alike (lemon polenta with mushroom ragu, pomegranate-glazed eggplant, or cauliflower tinga tacos), and impressive dishes perfect for entertaining (handmade noodles and even your Thanksgiving centerpiece). Whatever the experience level, craving, or time constraint, home cooks will find exactly what they need to prepare all their favorites with confidence and enthusiasm. Rooted in Mark's philosophy of using efficient cooking techniques, fresh ingredients, and basic kitchen equipment--and written in his signature to-the-point style--Dinner for Everyone is today's one-stop, indispensable reference for life's ultimate question: What's for dinner?
