Book Description

July 5, 2011
We’ve all had that moment during the day when we ask with a pit in our stomach, “What am I going to make for dinner?” We stand in our kitchens having a conversation with ourselves (hopefully silently), “I don’t have anything to make.... What I planned doesn't sound good.... I don’t have any time to cook let alone get to the store.”

Families across the country are continually searching for a way to make the process easier. Many get discouraged into pre-packaged complacency, which doesn’t satisfy any real cravings. Bookstores contain myriad cookbooks toting catch phrases like “Quick and Simple” or “Cheap and Easy.” The recipes may be quick, but they often require readers to purchase random ingredients they'll never use again. As a result, home cooks find themselves burdened with cluttered pantries, refrigerators, and cupboards filled with hundreds of dollars of cookbooks and specialty items like “red pepper paste” and are still left without an easy to use, versatile, and effective system for getting dinner on the table. That's where Sarah Kallio, Stacey Krastins, and The Stocked Kitchen comes in!

The Stocked Kitchen™ is the first complete meal creation system with only one standard list of groceries. If your kitchen is "Stocked" with these ingredients you will always have what you need to create any of the 300 delicious recipes found in this book. These recipes have been used for all of the authors' own dining needs, including meals for drop-in guests, special occasions, and every-night family dinners. The Stocked Kitchen encompasses all parts of the meal creation process from shopping, to storing, to cooking, to serving. The results are delicious, “guest worthy” meals made from real, basic ingredients.

Sarah and Stacey have proven The Stocked Kitchen™ system works. It has reduced their grocery bills, stress levels, trips to the market, and food waste. Create more delicious meals while removing the handcuffs of pre-planning. One grocery list, endless recipes!

4.0 out of 5 stars Would have served me well a few years ago August 30, 2011
Format:Hardcover
I really really like the premise of this book. It is a nice thick book with a wide variety of recipes utilizing a limited set of pantry ingredients. In the back are tear-out grocery lists wherein you can check off the basic pantry items you need to replenish.

This would have been ideal for me say 5 years ago, when I still cooked with a lot of cans, mixes, sauces and partially prepared items. This book is not for those who want everything from a box and just put it together, but it also has a lack of recipes where all the items come in their completely natural state, say dried beans instead of canned beans, or garden fresh tomatoes instead of cans, makes bread from scratch rather than canned or frozen dough, etc. Because of that I would say this is for the "in between" cook, the one who does actually turn on the stove and cook every night, but not the one who uses ingredients from bulk bins or the back yard garden, or makes bread completely from scratch. If that person is you, this book will likely be loved.

If you tend more to the completely from scratch cooking, this cookbook will be less desirable unless you are willing to adapt it, but then you need to change the recipes a tad, and the handy grocery lists in the back are not as useful. Hence I gave this book 4 stars, because it is nicely written, pretty and organized, but not for my cooking style personally.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Concept and Tasty Recipes June 30, 2011
Format:Hardcover
This is a different kind of cookbook that not only has lots of recipes for appetizers, breakfast and brunch, salads and side dishes, main dishes, and desserts, but also includes a master grocery list of every ingredient needed. In other words, if you buy everything on the list, you now have what you need to make any recipe in the entire book. No second guessing. No standing in front of the pantry wondering what to make for dinner and whether you have what you need. No unnecessary trips to the grocery store for the one thing you don't have to complete a recipe. And no more bottles of unusual spices or special sauces that got used once for one recipe and now sit past their "use by" date in the back of the pantry or fridge.

It's one thing to have a lot of food ingredients on hand and another to actually have a plan to use them without waste. The Stocked Kitchen solves that by streamlining ingredients so that a food item or seasoning is used in several different recipes. Something like balsamic vinegar, instead of being used once for a salad dressing, shows up in 12 recipes; garlic powder is used in 37 recipes, calamata olives in nine, pine nuts in 13, puff pastry is used in 11 recipes, etc., while still offering plenty of variety. This is a great plan for busy moms because the list is already made out and once the items are in the pantry, fridge, and freezer, anything from the cookbook can be prepared.

I've made several recipes with good results, including Baked Penne, Nutty Chicken, and Feta Chicken With Spinach. There are several other recipes I'm looking forward to trying. Some color photographs are included to showcase several of the dishes.

I would say that more experienced cooks probably already have their own version of this plan as they keep the pantry stocked for favorite recipes, but it's nice to have it already done in one book like this. It would be a good wedding shower gift or for a young mom who may feel overwhelmed with menu planning and grocery shopping as she navigates through a busy schedule and what to have for dinner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I had this years ago!! August 10, 2011

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
LOVE this book - great concept, great recipes. I had most of the ingredients in my kitchen anyway so I tried some of the recipes online before buying the book.. Bought the book after making 3 delicious meals and the peanutbutter brownies. I've probably made a dozen recipes so far and love them all. My family comes back for seconds. The recipes are delicious but not difficult to make. It is saving me a lot of time and heartache wondering what to make for dinner. I do all my shopping on the weekends and haven't been to the grocery store once during the week since I started this plan. Can't say enough about it. Highly recommend!!
