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.

Culinary gifts for a beginner chef

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2024

Verified Purchase

For my grandson's 12th birthday I bought him the 'How to Cook Everything' cookbook, a chef's apron and hat, hot pads, a silicone spatula and a bookmark that condones licking the bowl because you only live once! He has a budding interest in baking and cooking that I wanted to encourage. The cookbook is perfect for beginners but extensive enough to carry him through college years plus. It has basics and beyond. He was tickled having his own apron and if I had planned far enough ahead, I could have put his name on the hat. The hot pads look nice together with the apron and are distinctive enough to not get mixed up with others in the household's kitchen. The silicone spatula probably will see use by others as it looks very functional. It is just the right size for him now and based on the products durability description I expect it to last. He enjoyed receiving these gifts and he has already planned on what to make when I come for a visit. He has focused on the dessert section. I'll have fun assisting him and being his taste tester. It should make for some nice memories together.

Great book for any level of kitchen cookery prowess. What would be very tricky technical recipes are broken down to easy to do excellence. It’s a yes!

I just got this book today. My son & daughter-in-law have it and they love it so I decided to buy it. Well the first recipe I wanted to try is missing part of the ingredients. It’s page 787, Rustic French Bread. Can someone tell me how much salt is required for this recipe? Thank you. I hope there aren’t other things missing from this book. Will update at a later time.

So good I gave it away and bought another one.

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2023

This is a confidence-builder for a newbie cook. Or someone feeding a family. Or a single cooking just for one. My favorite feature is the list of ideas about how to adapt a particular technique to fit what you have going on in your kitchen that night. I especially appreciate the side bars. "Giving Soup More Body." "To Salt or Not to Salt." "14 Sauces for Any Simply Cooked Tofu." The "lexicon" pages are extremely helpful. These pages explain the vocabulary of items like cooking oils, vinegars, beans, grains, etc. I was having such fun with it that I made a soup for a friend in need and she asked for the recipe. I gave her the whole book and bought another one. I can't stop finding new things in this book! "12 Simple Additions to Scrambled Eggs" He even gave me the courage to make my own crackers. Could not be easier. Give it a try. That's the lesson I've learned from this book.

Saw Mark Bittman on the today show and was impressed with his ability to communicate the preparation of food in a simple straightforward manner to people without food prep training or experience. This book has become my new best friend in the kitchen. Simple processes and basic recipes abound, with loads of variations for you to try. Mark teaches you how to cook while opening the door to your own inspiration.

Invaluable and useful tried and tested cookbook

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

Bought on the recommendation of an (American) friend, this book has fast become invaluable in my kitchen taking you through pretty much how to cook everything — just like the title says. Although American, this book does come with an easy-to-follow conversion guide at the back. I’ve no idea how Mark Bittman has done it — I don’t think I’ll ever get through every suggestion in this book, let alone in his others! Highly recommended for everyone from beginners to more experienced cooks; there’s bound to be something new to learn or try.

Great resource

Reviewed in Canada on May 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is spectacular, I’ve made about a dozen new recipes so far. Many recipes offer lots of variables, which is excellent.

I even photocopy the herb & spice lexicon and taped them inside my spice cupboard.

Really good resource, best cook book I have ever found and intend on having it for ever.
