Cook As You Are
One of the Best Cookbooks of the Year: The New York Times, The Washington Post, Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, Epicurious, and Bon Appetit
“As soon as I started reading and cooking from Ruby Tandoh’s practical and generous new book, Cook As You Are, I wanted to buy a copy of it for just about everyone I know: my 84-year-old friend who lives alone and cooks most nights, my cousins in their 30s who just had a baby, my 17-year-old niece applying to college. Ms. Tandoh is a warm and deeply considerate recipe writer who understands that putting dinner on the table is a daily necessity that should bring you the maximum amount of joy for the least amount of work.” —Tejal Rao, The New York Times
“Not simply a recipe book, but a warm invitation to relax into and enjoy the experience of cooking and eating. Ruby Tandoh offers understanding, encouragement and completely glorious food.” —NIGELLA LAWSON, author of Cook, Eat, Repeat
“Tandoh has a rare talent of putting together common words in the most uncommon and beautiful way. I can make a fine evening just reading her headnotes, chapter introductions and interstitial stories . . . She meets the home cook, be they accomplished or novices, with hours to putter around the kitchen or with mere minutes to spare, on their own terms.” —Olga Massov, The Washington Post
