How to Cook Everything—Completely Revised Twentieth Anniversary Edition: Simple Recipes for Great Food (How to Cook Everything Series Book 1)
About this product
The ultimate kitchen companion, completely updated and better than ever, now for the first time featuring color photos
For twenty years, Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything has been the definitive guide to simple home cooking. This new edition has been completely revised for today’s cooks while retaining Bittman’s trademark minimalist style—easy-to-follow recipes and variations, and tons of ideas and inspiration.
Inside, you’ll find hundreds of brand-new features, recipes, and variations, like Slow-Simmered Beef Chili, My New Favorite Fried Chicken, and Eggs Poached in Tomato Sauce; plus old favorites from the previous editions, in many cases reimagined with new methods or flavors. Recipes and features are designed to give you unparalleled freedom and flexibility: for example, infinitely variable basic techniques (Grilling Vegetables, Roasting Seafood); innovative uses for homemade condiments; easy-to-make one-pot pastas; and visual guides to improvising soups, stir-fries, and more. Bittman has also updated all the information on ingredients, including whole grains and produce, alternative baking staples, and sustainable seafood. And, new for this edition, recipes are showcased throughout with color photos.
By increasing the focus on usability, modernizing the recipes to become new favorites, and adding gorgeous photography, Mark Bittman has updated this classic cookbook to be more indispensable than ever. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say this Mark Bittman cookbook is very helpful, detailed, and easy to follow, with many praising it as a great reference and gift book. Common positives include clear instructions, useful variations, strong basics coverage, and a wide range of recipes that make cooking feel easier. A Reddit discussion also points to it as a cookbook people would happily cook through front to back, suggesting strong community respect for its depth and usefulness. Goodreads shows a large review base and a solid average rating, reinforcing that it is widely regarded as a classic home-cooking reference. One review blog says it can be an indispensable shelf staple, while Food52’s testing found it especially useful for beginners but noted some directions could be vague and that results were mixed for taste in a few recipes.
For YouTube, the search results surfaced real videos about the book, including a review/video page for How to Cook Everything, Completely Revised 10th Anniversary Edition and another video titled How to Cook Everything Cook Book. These appear to be about the same cookbook line, but the search results did not clearly provide enough genuine watch URLs with extractable product-specific video IDs for this exact ASIN edition.
