Incredibly Craveable Recipes for Everyday Cooking

James Beard–nominated chef Jodi Moreno captures life’s simple pleasures in her collection of super-easy-to-make, highly craveable comfort recipes.

Sizzling bacon in the morning

A perfectly ripe avocado

Freshly baked bread out of the oven

Pomodoro simmering on the stove

…these are just a few of life’s simple pleasures.

A few things you will be sure to find: lots of butter, crème fraîche in desserts, juicy ripe tomatoes everywhere, mounds of parmesan cheese, blankets of sauces, layers of texture and flavor, and the perfect mix of indulgence + feel-good foods to nourish you inside and out.

In addition to the standard chapters on breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, this playful book has sections devoted to pasta parties and long leisurely gatherings with friends—all with super adaptable recipes that feel both unexpected and approachable.
