Notes about this book

  • MattKG on April 14, 2026

    Used the crispy skinned salmon pan roasting technique and it worked PERFECTLY! I did Thomas Keller's Masterclass and he has a technique for crispy skinned salmon that yields great results, but is much more fiddly. This will be my go-to technique from now on! Strong first "recipe" from this book.

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • The perfect sheet pan veg

    • skvalentine on April 29, 2026

      Loved how this turned out-- the tip about starting with a hot pan made a real difference from my usual roast veg.

  • Simple steel-cut oatmeal

    • skvalentine on April 27, 2026

      Easy breakfast for my kids. I made a bigger batch on sunday and re-heated throughout the week.

  • Roasted radishes and their greens

    • shapije1 on April 17, 2026

      Very straightforward preparation that makes use of the whole radish (including greens!). I like that the method is simple enough that I can make it in the future without having to reference the recipe.

  • Fluffy potato salad

    • shapije1 on April 21, 2026

      I liked the zippy vinegar note in the dressing and the crunchiness of the veggies (carrots and cucumbers) but my partner was not a fan of this potato salad—so it likely won’t replace some favorite potato salad recipes already on our rotation.

  • Maple-cinnamon coffee, pour-over method

    • skvalentine on May 11, 2026

      Loved the addition of cinnamon! I will skip the maple next time, because I don't enjoy sweetener in my coffee, but will definitely repeat the cinnamon.

  • Issey's puffy sourdough pancakes

    • skvalentine on May 11, 2026

      Excellent pancakes! My favorite sourdough version so far. Recipe is more involved than my regular pancakes, but definitely worth it for the flavor and texture.

Discover how to create memorable meals using affordable, good-for-you ingredients with 85 delectable recipes that celebrate the comfort of eating at home, from the founder of the bestselling superfood brand Golde.

So much of our food culture today relies on hacks and tricks to get around the task of cooking and eating. Our mealtimes are hurried and focused on convenience. Eating at Home offers an alternative: What if a good cooking practice isn’t centered only on the outcome? What if, with each vegetable we chop or pot we stir, we are humbly celebrating the present moment?

Good-quality, simple food is health food, and the ingredients you cook with are as important as the gentleness you bring to the process. In Eating at Home, Trinity Mouzon Wofford’s 85 simple, healthful recipes embrace affordable, local produce, lean on approachable techniques without fuss or formality, and celebrate her family’s multicultural culinary heritage, including:

• $0 Scrap Stock • Soft Dashi Scrambled Eggs over Rice • Bitter Greens with Black Vinegar • Sweet Rosemary Cornbread • Olive Oil and Matcha Day Cake • Salted Butter Sesame Shortbread

We’ve never been so collectively starved for moments of pause, and Eating at Home is a manifesto for taking pleasure in the act of cooking, and more than that, pleasure in the act of taking time to enjoy your food. With gentle, unhurried recipes, techniques that are easy and forgiving, and sidebars with advice for bringing wellness practices into quotidian moments, Eating at Home is an invitation and a reclamation: of our time, our nourishment, and our sense of connection to the people with whom we break bread.
