Mostly French : recipes from a kitchen in Provence
by Makenna Held
"Mostly French is a stunningly beautiful cookbook developed and photographed at La Pitchoune, Julia Child's home in Provence. Inspired by the olive trees and hills of lavender, thyme, and wild asparagus, author and cooking instructor Makenna Held shares 150 recipes that pay homage to the serenity of Southern France. Through dishes such as Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Sumac, Caprese with Peaches and Strawberries, and Lavender Salted Caramels, among dozens of others that lean into France and ease, she channels the best of French cooking: simple ingredients, technique, and balanced flavors. But just as deliciously, Mostly French is Makenna's story of finding herself in the slower pace of the French countryside. She lives with the spirit of Julia Child andhonors her legacy, while forging her own path as a cook and teacher. In the narrative woven throughout the introductory material and recipe headnotes, Makenna writes as much about developing as a person as she does about developing delicious recipes. What makes this book special is Makenna's classic French staples-Roasted Tomato "Jam," Dream Vinaigrette, and sauces like an easy Hollandaise, put to use next to meal-sized salads, roasts, and omelettes that make a meal. With tips and tricks, and an extensive section on cheese and charcuterie boards for the golden hour of L'Apero, this cookbook will delight anyone with its modern approach to everyday French cooking"

Milk Street Shorts : Recipes That Pack a Punch
by Christopher Kimball
In the kitchen, brevity is brilliant. Short recipes are the ones cooks remember best—not only because they're simple to make and easy to repeat, but because they are boiled down to their elemental beauty and charm.
In Milk Street Shorts, Christopher Kimball and his team of cooks and editors have developed a repertoire of nearly 150 genius recipes that are casual, improvisational, and fun. These recipes are not just short—they're bolder, better cooking because they're short. Their essential cleverness gives them power that does not require long ingredient lists or all-day cooking.
And every recipe packs a punch—throw-it-together meals like "Nothing Soup,"Chili Crisp Peanut Noodles, and Five-Ingredient Pork and Kimchi Stew, snacks and side dishes like Sunflower Hummus, Crispy Spiced Chickpeas, and Salt and Vinegar Smashed Potatoes, and smart ways to use your oven, like Reverse-Sear Pork Loin, Skillet Lasagna, and Two-Hour Turkey. Recipes are organized by simplicity—Short, Shorter, and Shortest—with chapters including skillet suppers, sheet-pan tray bakes, and weeknight desserts like Clementine Blender Cake.
