Product Description

"A huge, one-of-a-kind book. Joanna Pruess meets us in the market, teaches us how to buy, what not to buy; she comes home with us to continue teaching how to handle, prepare, and cook hundreds of recipes to appeal to any palate." -Marion Cunningham

"Completely practical and yet full of fine fancies." -M. F. K. Fisher

"Knowing how to buy, store, and use the fresh ingredients available in the supermarket will contribute more than anything else toward the development of an American cuisine and the cuisine of tomorrow." -Jacques Pépin

With an economy and climate that have brought the idea of cooking and home entertaining back into fashion, and with kitchens that have morphed into all-purpose rooms, shoppers want to stay at home and share comforting, delicious meals with family and friends-without spending hours searching out fussy ingredients. Joanna Pruess offers the essential guide to doing just that, with indispensable information about how to buy, store, and cook outstanding meals using ingredients found in today's supermarket aisles, and more than 300 tried-and-trusted recipes. Armed with the latest knowledge of the industry she adores, she guides shoppers through the supermarket with wisdom and humor.

SUPERMARKET CONFIDENTIAL has been updated to include recipes using prepared ingredients and a minimal number of ingredients, techniques for preparing meals ahead of time, and strategies for successful grocery shopping in the twenty-first century.

4.0 out of 5 stars The opposite of the Nobu cookbook, January 3, 2007
I own the attractive Nobu cookbook but I can't make the recipes that require expensive ingredients. Supermarket Confidential is actually a cookbook and of course, the ingredients are commonly available in a typical supermarket. I would never have thought to buy this book if it wasn't on special for $2.99.
