Diane Morrisey got an Instagram account to spy on her six kids. One day, on a whim, she posted a photo of a cake she’d made. Before she knew it, she had a following asking for recipes and encouragement. So began Diane’s new life phase: teaching people how to pull together a meal in a cinch. A self-taught home cook and former caterer with six grownish kids, Diane Morrisey knows what people want to eat—and what they can cook in the short window most of us have to get dinner on the table. The 100 simple recipes in You Got This! are designed to give cooks confidence and new ideas to get out of the “what to cook” rut. Designed for carnivores, pescatarians, and vegetarians, alike, they make and break the rules: they lean on what you already have on hand, and celebrate the idea that sometimes dinner isn’t the whole shebang, but rather something that’s dinner-ish. That’s when Diane takes a package of store-bought pizza dough to make Butter Chicken Calzones. In Diane’s hands, quick cheesy numbers such as Sheet Pan Lasagna and lighter fare like Seared Salmon with Orange Avocado Salad come together in a snap. Veg-forward dishes including Roasted Cauliflower Curry and Sesame Green Beans with Crispy Tofu bring bold flavor and nourishment, while meals in bowls, such as Ginger Pork Vermicelli, have a place here, too. With gorgeous four-color photography throughout and tips on every page, You Got This! will empower those who are new to cooking and inspire anyone stuck in a “what to cook” rut.

A James Beard Foundation 2022 Cookbook Hall of Fame Inductee Named a 'Culinary Classic' by the International Association of Culinary Professionals One of the 25 Most Influential Cookbooks from the Last 100 Years (New York Times) One of the 35 Best Cookbooks of All Time, According to Chefs (Food & Wine) For twenty-four years, in an odd and intimate warren of rooms, San Franciscans of every variety have come to the Zuni Café with high expectations and have rarely left disappointed. In The Zuni Café Cookbook, a book customers have been anticipating for years, chef and owner Judy Rodgers provides recipes for Zuni's most well-known dishes, ranging from the Zuni Roast Chicken to the Espresso Granita. But Zuni's appeal goes beyond recipes. Harold McGee concludes, "What makes The Zuni Café Cookbook a real treasure is the voice of Zuni's Judy Rodgers," whose book "repeatedly sheds a fresh and revealing light on ingredients and dishes, and even on the nature of cooking itself." Deborah Madison (Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone) says the introduction alone "should be required reading for every person who might cook something someday."

Gorgeously illustrated with hundreds of her beautiful color photographs, The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook is all about approachable, uncompromised home cooking.
