I love all of Ina Garten's cookbooks, especially Cooking For Jeffrey.

I think I have an Ina Garten blind spot but I must overcome!

Ottolenghi is my fave though his recipes can be a bit involved, so more of weekend projects! If you like Chinese food, I cook out of Woks of Life all the time—the best.

I do love Chinese food! There were a few Chinese-inspired recipes in Dinner Tonight (well, an American interpretation at least) and they were some of our favorites. Will check out Woks of Life to start & *maybe* brave Ottolenghi at some point 😉

I think I’ve seen her recipes on Instagram but I’ll add the cookbook to my list!

I would recommend the half baked harvest books but not for weeknights. And the Claire Saffitz books for desserts.

I recommend Ali Slagle’s I Dream of Dinner (So You Don’t Have To)! Pantry and varying cooking skill level friendly!

Milk Street/Chris Kimball’s Cook-ish is on my list to try to cook from next.
