Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Skillet apple Dutch baby

    • mariah_ceezj6 on April 10, 2026

      Made without the apple topping, served with fresh whipped cream instead. Showy crow pleaser ??

  • Breakfast burritos

    • jennifer_vszvd1 on April 29, 2026

      I used chorizo, zucchini, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, yellow onion, tater tots, eggs, and Mexican cheese blend. These are super filling and really good, but took a while to make. They reheat well in an air fryer (around 350F for around 17 minutes, flipping halfway, but still working on ideal reheat numbers).

  • Spanakopita bites

    • mark_7o14k8 on March 21, 2026

      Very easy to make. The hardest part was getting all of the water out of the spinach. I did end up adding garlic paste before mixing all together.

  • Butter-basted sea bass fillets with citrus salsa

    • michele_rkidsu on February 10, 2026

      Really yummy. The citrus salsa is amazing. Forgot to serve it...

  • Beer-battered fish tacos with pineapple slaw

    • Bessp on June 16, 2025

      This was a very good battered fish recipe. The batter was light and flavorful. I think the slaw needs more acid, but altogether it makes a lovely dinner.

  • Veggie coconut curry

    • michele_rkidsu on February 13, 2026

      Added chicken and tofu... delicious.

  • Chocolate coconut bread

    • fultre on May 02, 2026

      We loved this bread! The coconut flavor is moderately strong, and to my palate the extract didn’t produce an off flavor. Next time might try toasting the coconut first, as suggested in the variation. It had a great texture despite both slightly overcooking the exterior and undercooking the interior (I had just baked something at a higher temp, and didn’t wait long enough for the oven to get to correct temperature). Instead of making a ganache I added the chocolate chips to the batter and skipped adding extra nuts and coconut for topping. Will definitely make again!

  • Salted caramel sheet cake

    • nonja_qscbot on June 04, 2026

      Fell in the middle not very good

Publishers Text

he New York Times bestselling author and beloved social media star @PreppyKitchen delivers simple, everyday recipes that anyone can cook regardless of cooking level or busy schedule that is sure to delight the whole family.

John Kanell is beloved for his aspirational lifestyle and food recipes that feed the eye first. As his kids get older and life gets busier, John recognizes the need that all busy families have for food that is at once practical to prepare and delicious.

Preppy Kitchen Super Easy was born of that need. He’s created a cookbook of simple dishes that feel special. With particular attention to variations for nearly every recipe, John makes it easy to prepare any dish at any time. Ran out of mayo? Use sour cream in the Ranch and Feta Dip. Need to use up those tomatoes and peppers before they go to waste? Swap ‘em for the cukes in the Wild Rice Salad. In each recipe, John breaks down instructions with simple steps, streamlines ingredient lists, and gives dozens of ideas for riffs and make-aheads. John explains how easy it is to vary vessels with a single recipe: a quick bread or cake can bake in a muffin tin, a baking dish, or a cake pan; pancake batter is good for a waffle maker or a griddle. He leans into a small cache of hands-off appliances such as the Instant Pot™ and air fryer. And, best of all, he’s developed recipes you can make once and eat all week, along with dressings and spreads that morph from snack-time dip to salad accompaniment to just-add-a-protein main dish.
