EAT IN MY KITCHEN: To cook, to bake, to eat, and to treat
Winner of the James Beard Award for Best Cookbook—General Cooking
One of the New York Times Best Cookbooks
EAT IN MY KITCHEN combines a northern European practical attitude, from my German roots, with a rustic Mediterranean-inspired palate, from many summers spent at the shores (and in the kitchens) around the Mediterranean Sea. These 100 recipes celebrate the seasons and are awash with color. Indulge in the Radicchio, Peach, and Roasted Shallot Salad with Blue Cheese; Parsnip and Sweet Potato Soup with Caramelized Plums; Pumpkin Gnocchi; mouthwatering sandwiches like the Pea Pesto and Bacon with Marjoram; and seafood and meat dishes that introduce tasty and unexpected elements. The baked treats include everything from pizza to bread pudding, and perfect cookies to sumptuous tarts.
EAT IN MY KITCHEN is my first book, born out of this blog. My cooking evolved over the years but this description by my publisher is still true and present in all my books:
Followers of Meike Peters will be thrilled to have her exquisitely photographed recipes in print in one place, while those who aren’t yet devotees will be won over by her unpretentious tone and contagious enthusiasm for simple, beautiful, and tasty food.
