Pour a glass of rose andembrace your inner basic bitch with these 100+ everyday recipes, complete with tips and tricks for cooking "basic" meals you know you shamelessly love. In a world where everyone seeks to be special and pride themselves on their differences, there is one common bond that unites us all-basicness. And while some rock the Ugg boots and drink pumpkin spice lattes more than others, we can all still appreciate the simple pleasures that mimosas, avocado toast, and acai bowls bring. And that' s okay! Basic Bitchen celebrates and embraces the basic bitch lifestyle through food, offering step-by-step recipes for the most fundamental (and delicious) of all dishes. Recipes include: -Basic Bitch Lifeblood, a. k. a. the Pumpkin Spice Latte -Mom' s Definitely-Not-Sicilian Sicilian Caesar Salad -"I Could Eat This, Like, Every Day" Sushi Rolls -A Deeply Personal Cauliflower Pizza -Way Too Easy (If You Know What I Mean) One-Sheet Pan Dinners -Antidepressant Red Velvet Cake Pops In addition to these easy, flavorful crowd-pleasing recipes, Chowhound editor Joey Skladany provides tips and tricks, such as how to build a pantry and cooking tools that every chef needs so you can take your cooking skills beyond the microwave and make meals all of your friends will enjoy.
"You will definitely LOL while cooking and reading this one, which has recipes like Basic Bitch Lifeblood, a. k. a. the Pumpkin Spice Latte, ' I Could Eat This, Like, Every Day' Sushi Rolls, and Way Too Easy (If You Know What I Mean) One-Sheet Pan Dinners. "-Cosmopolitan, 14 Cookbooks That' ll Transform That Sad Bag of Groceries Into a Gourmet Meal "In this humorously irreverent debut cookbook, Chowhound editor-at-large Skladany presents over 100 "tried-and-true recipes that are not only delicious but super easy to make. " He opens with beverages-including a frose, made with rose and frozen strawberries, and a nonalcoholic pumpkin spice latte-and quick appetizers that can be prepared in 20 minutes or less, such as avocado toast and caprese salad with burrata cheese. Many of the entrees are healthy options, including sheet pan salmon with lemon-dill dressing and black bean-quinoa burgers, but there are also plenty of indulgent dishes as well, grilled cheese with cheesy fries and truffle macaroni and cheese among them. Desserts feature palatable fare such as chocolate chip cookies and strawberry macaroons, while a chapter on brunch offers classic dishes like chicken and waffles and quiche. Less experienced cooks will appreciate the tips that Skladany sprinkles throughout ("I opted for margarine. . . because it has a higher melting point than butter"), and may chuckle at some racy recipe introductions ("My grandma says if she' s not dead by ninety, she' ll become a heroin addict"; "Boys on Grindr looking for ' friends' are like me walking into a Chinese restaurant and looking for bok choy"). The recipes are straightforward and easy to follow, making this book a reliable resource for home cooks looking to build a repertoire. " -Publishers Weekly
