3 posts | 1 read
I tell you not to worry because Ive done all the worrying for you! Bonnie Stern, beloved teacher and bestselling cookbook author, wants nothing more than for you to feel like shes in the kitchen cooking beside you. In her latest cookbook, Dont Worry, Just Cook, written with her daughter Anna Rupert (who has, in fact, been in the kitchen cooking beside Bonnie her whole life!), Bonnie and Anna are here to help cooks of all experience foster comfort and connection through food. With her trademark encouraging style and attention to detail, Bonnie writes recipes that are consistently delicious, widely appealing, and, as always, timeless. Like all of her cookbooks, Dont Worry, Just Cook doesnt simply give instructions to create a dish, it also shares stories, lessons, and kitchen wisdom that will build your cooking technique and confidence in the kitchen. In this new book, youll find easy-to-follow recipes for all-day breakfasts, soups, starters, and side dishes, as well as breads and vegetarian, fish, and meat mains. And, for those wanting something sweet, Bonnie and Anna have included plenty of desserts! Youll be amazed by how quickly such special dishes like Jeweled Roasted Salmon with Herbs and Sheet Pan Chicken with Lemon and Olives come together. The simplicity and beauty of dishes like Jaala Herb Salad with Lemon Honey Dressing and Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Tahini and Zhug will impress even the cook! And the desserts, like the Pavlova Cake with Lemon Curd and Berries, Bonnies Rugelach, and Smores Chocolate Bark have never been so fun or delicious. Bonnie and Anna have also provided notes and variations to help you modify dishes for special diets, and have sprinkled in essays on topics that will resonate with all of us, from things not worth worrying about, to a love of leftovers and what to do with them. Bonnie and Annas warm voices and subtle humor come through on every page. With 125 enjoyable and thoughtful recipes, and stunning photography, home cooks will turn to this instant classic time and time again to nourish themselves and the people they love.

Last night, it was our turn to host our monthly literary salon. Bonus: leftover crumb cake for breakfast. Recipe adapted from the tagged cookbook, replacing blueberries with sour cherries from my garden—cleaning out the freezer—and sprinkling cocoa on top because the crumbs are more powdery than I like.

Flaky Date Pastries from the tagged cookbook.
“This pastry should probably have a cute mash-up name because it is a cross between North American date squares and the rolled date cookies you find everywhere in Israel.”
I‘m not fond of making pastries but I‘m glad I gave this recipe a try because it was pretty easy to make.

Soubhiville Oh yum, they look and sound wonderful! 1y
Lindy @Soubhiville I realized that it‘s the same pastry as for Bonnie Stern‘s rugelach recipe, which she says is her most requested cookie, so maybe I will give that a try too. 😊 1y
