The Nimble Cook New Strategies for Great Meals That Make the Most of Your Ingredients Ronna Welsh 9780544935501 Books Reviews


  • This cookbook is absolutely beautiful. I just love her approach to food. It's simple- put the ingredient first. It's complex, an ingredient can be prepared a hundred ways. It's practical - cook what you have and don't waste any ingredient. This book is sure to be any cook's treasure, and it's filled with breathtaking illustrations!
  • I am always in need of new strategies when it comes to cooking, and The Nimble Cook is perfect for our family with our different tastes. Instead of pulling out recipes and then having to shop for those ingredients, Ronna Welsh asks her readers to let the ingredients be your guide. I cooked down a bunch of onions into a lovely jammy pile, and I have used them alongside roasted pork, in an omelet, as a spread on toast, and a base for a pasta sauce-- and I still have some to spare. When you realize the many things you can do with aromatics and herbs, your food tastes better! My family thanks you, Ronna!
  • This book takes the right approach to cooking. We can already see how she will save us a ton on our food bill and help us avoid throwing away so much food that goes bad because we over-buy. It's not just a cookbook, but a teaching book.
  • I love love love this book! It’s completely changed the way I think about cooking, shopping for, storing and eating food. I can not get enough of the balsamic based figs, and the onion slaw is a new household staple. This book could not be easier to use or more creative-- I feel like a household chef reborn!
  • The Nimble Cook is a required resource for any semi-serious home chef. It leads with ingredients, which will change the way you think about meal prep forever. For starters, you'll become more adept and "nimble" in using the ingredients you have on hand to put a good meal on the table. And the book will open your eyes to dozens of different preparations for various ingredients. As you become more oriented to ingredients, you'll find that you will shop more mindfully and you will use more of the food you purchase (less waste). It's a simple, but powerful twist on the way you think about food that will yield delicious meals and make you a better cook.
  • This is more than a cookbook of recipes—it’s a practical and inspiring reference guide on how to approach cooking, how to use the ingredients you have on hand to create a great meal, and how to simplify meal prep. I’ve enjoyed reading the author’s blog the past few years, and I’ve learned even more from the book. Super useful!
