This is a really beautiful recipe book with gorgeous photos and lovely fresh ideas. It is absolutely perfect for summer. For ages I have been looking for a recipe book with actual salad recipes, and this has a bunch of really good ones. Thanks so much to the publisher for the free copy! Due to formatting issues on the kindle I’d advise people open this ARC on a laptop or desktop using Adobe, otherwise it isn’t super easy to follow the recipes.

Honestly, such a great cookbook. I tried things like the soups or the dumplings and found new ideas on what to make for dinner other than my usual stir-fry.

Beautiful laid out with mouthwatering pictures! I really enjoyed how the instructions were written and how clear they were to follow. All the recipes seemed accessible for any kind of cook and didn't included hard to get ingredients or odd equipment.

Everything about this cookbook made me smile and want to run to my kitchen and start cooking. The recipes are elevated yet simple in their approach, using fresh ingredients, herbs, and spices. Not over complicated yet gourmet flavors and presentation. Every recipe has beautiful color photos and the hand written and clever chapter titles, recipes and quotes throughout make you feel like you are in Antoni’s kitchen with him. The many delicious recipes featuring eggs make this mostly veg and big egg eater happy. I absolutely cannot wait to have my own hard copy in my hands and a part of my cookbook collection. The hardest part now will be choosing which amazing recipe to try next.

What a fun cookbook!! This is the second cookbook from Antoni Porowski, and it does not disappoint. I'm not a cook. I fumble my way through the kitchen enough to feed myself and can sometimes rise to the occasion to scrap together a good old-fashioned midwest casserole, but that's about it. Cookbooks often frustrate me, because they contain ingredients that I have either never heard of or never have in my pantry- honestly is there anything worse than going out and spending money on something you're going to use once? That's why this cookbook was such a godsend. Antoni includes a list of pantry staples in the beginning pages, and you bet your ass I hit that screenshot button so fast my head spun. This cookbook not only makes consistent use of the pantry list but also contains items that you can reuse for other things you cook, time and time again.

My absolute favourite thing about this book, though, is how no-nonsense the recipes are. While reading this book for inspiration before a grocery trip, I thought to myself 'yeah, I can totally do this' on practically every recipe. It's not complicated, but also fancy enough to impress dinner guests (and I can finally retire that old casserole recipe!).

I love this cookbook! The recipes are very pretty to look at and they all sound delicious. The pictures make my mouth water and I simply want to taste everything.
I like how the sections are divided and it makes it easy to find what you are in mood for.
I’ll be sure to try probably all of these recipes and I’ve shared some of them with my mom, who is a chef, and she thinks they look amazing too. I’ll be off cooking with my mom now,

A stunning cookbook, cover to cover. My mouth is left watering after reading through the delicious recipes and looking at the gorgeous pictures.. What I like most about this cookbook is that 99% of the recipes have an accompanying photo. When it comes to cooking, I am visual and want to know how to serve and plate the dishes. This along with the variety of flavors and focus on vegetables, made this cookbook worth a purchase. If you love pasta, this is the book for you too, those dishes look divine. Well done Antoni and company! I look forward to adding this to my collection.

This cookbook helped me get out of my cooking rut of the past year. I’m looking forward to many more nights of great meals thanks to this cookbook.

I’m going to start by saying the pictures in this book are amazing. In this cook book it seems to have a little something for everyone which is amazing. The recipes seem easy to follow and I do plan on trying a few. The downside for me is the fact that some of the ingredients aren’t readily available to me. Some of the recipes, although simple, aren’t really something I would turn to on just any day. This wouldn’t be my go to cookbook but it definitely has a few gems.

This cookbook has a great selection of recipes with ingredients that are easy to find. Thank you to Antoni Porowski, NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for the ARC of this book.

This is such a diverse dinner cookbook! I can’t wait to get a physical copy for myself and some friends when it’s released. The layout is simply beautiful, and all the meals look appetizing and unique! I think I could easily make these for just my family but also to impress company. Definitely get this one! The only thing I’m disappointed in is that there are no desserts.

This is a good cookbook that is not my personal preference of cookbook, and so I am giving it a very middling three of five stars. To be clear, this could very well be a five-star cookbook to the right person, it's just that person isn't me. The food photography is absolutely gorgeous, no doubt. The recipes sound good. It's mostly a cooking style preference. Most of the recipes involve fairly simple cooking methods, they just have a lot of ingredients. Like, a LOT of ingredients. It's all a bit too involved for a cookbook touting, "simple," and, "exuberantly easy dinners."

However, the recipes ARE delicious. The ingredients are plentiful but also fresh and thoroughly satisfying. The presentation of everything is very nice, and the flavors seem well-balanced on the handful I tackled. I can see myself breaking this one out for special occasions with small groups for dinner or something like that, but there wasn't really anything in it that I thought could go into my regular rotation with the exception of the shakshuka, which was already in my regular rotation.

Not my favorite, but some solid recipes nonetheless. Thank you muchly to NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this was such a great cookbook. I love the pictures and I thought the recipes looked amazing. I like the the variety of different meals people can try. And I like the stories added on to say why this is a great recipe. I will defiantly will be trying some of the recipes in the book sometime.

Who doesn’t love Antoni? I enjoy watching him teach others to cook on Queer Eye, and his personality shines through in this book’s narratives. The narratives are very nice touch is they give background, depth and modifications for each recipe, along with explanations of the ingredients and cooking methodologies. There is also some solid advice on how to stock your pantry and fridge and freezer to be a well prepared cook, his recipes are by and large healthy, they look delicious, and there is some fresh twists on old classics. I know I’ll be referring to this book when I want to whip up something out of my regular rotation, but note: these recipes are intended to be easy to prepare and quick to get on the table, the best of all worlds.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a huge Queer Eye fan and absolutely fangirled out when I got this cookbook. I love Antoni and the complex recipes that he breaks down and makes easy on the show. So, I was definitely excited to be able to find some options like that for myself.

The front of this cookbook is just smart. The 10 Fast Favorites is an easy snip-it of what to expect. Then the "Stock Up the AP Way" is great. It is helpful to have items on hand already.

The photography and styling of the intro pages are well done and engaging. I like that there is an contents list per section.

As for the recipes, there are a lot of great vegan options, which are mentioned that they are vegan in the blurb. Additionally, there are options for just vegetarian, as well as with meat but still seem on the lighter side. A lot of egg options and they honestly make me drool every time I look at the photos.

I highly recommend this cookbook to anyone. I will be adding the print version to my cookbook shelf for sure!

This follow up to his first successful cookbook did not disappoint! The recipes were accessible and easy to follow, all while helping to create delicious meals. Photography is also stunning! I have several new go-tos for week-night cooking.

Having purchased and enjoyed Antoni's first cookbook, I was looking forward to exploring the recipes in this new cookbook and was also pleasantly surprised to see that the recipes were a lot more accessible than those in the first book. There were a number of recipes that I could make with ingredients that were already in my kitchen. With his first book, I found that I usually ended up with quite a shopping list when I wanted to try cooking any of the dishes, and that ended up being a bit of a deterrent. With this cookbook, however, I have already made a few of the recipes and they will definitely become staples in our household.

Very happy with this cookbook so far. It needs another read through by an editor as I caught a number of typos and spacing errors. The images are beautiful and made me really want to try the recipes. The ones I've tried so far were delicious and a hit with my family. We are looking forward to trying some of the others.

What a fun mix of diverse and interesting recipes. Easy to follow and the ingredients aren’t too hard to find. I like the explanations throughout and the photography.

My family and I are big fans of Antoni, and his new cookbook only made us love him even more. We were big fans of his interesting takes on salads, pairing ingredients that I wouldn’t have traditionally thought went well together, but they did! The pictures were helpful additions to the recipes, as I dislike greatly cookbooks that do not have many pictures of the recipes in it. The format of the Kindle book was problematic, and not smooth and easily maneuvarable— there was no Table of Contents to go to in the menu, but the recipes and pictures were spot on.

I loved getting to know Anton though his cookbook which is so vibrant and fun. I can't wait to try out some recipes.
