Who cooks like this? There were very few recipes in this book I'd ever cook; even the recipes that didn't have dozens of ingredients called for obscure ingredients or complicated methods. To me, 'minimalist kitchen' doesn't just mean 'one pan,' it also means 'and fewer than ten ingredients, all of which you might find in a reasonably well-stocked Kroger.' My idea of minimalist cooking does not include ingredients like panko crumbs, baby fennel bulbs, or sambal.

If you like reading little stories that go along with each recipe, you'll like this cookbook. Some recipes use more expensive ingredients so it's definitely not a book for a person just learning how to cook or someone living on a tight budget. The one pan concept is great though and there is an explanation of how to purchase your cookware and which pieces can be on the cheaper side but still effective. Also, the entire book is in color photographs so you can see what the dish looks like.

Decent little cookbook for someone who has a small kitchen / hates cleaning dishes. I most enjoyed reading their dialogues leading into each recipe... Picked up a lot of good kitchen / shopping tricks from them.
I've only made a single recipe from this book, which was good, but far too salty. I'd wager it needed less than half the salt they put in, and I love me some salt... Had me a bit worried about other recipes.
Kind of neat that they split the book into pot or pan type More...

One of the best cookbooks I have ever bought. Everything I have made out of it has been spectacular. I'm not sure what other people are talking about when they say the ingredients are hard to find or the recipes are too complicated. Most of the ingredients I have on hand or I can obtain at Whole Foods and I haven't found any recipe hard to make.

This cookbook is such a fun companion in the kitchen, complete with menus, conversations between the two eponymous dudes, and one-pan recipes. Recipes and menus are simple yet interesting, and feature a lovely combination of ingredients. A must-read for chefs looking for some inspiration in the kitchen.

This is too high level for a fool in the kitchen like myself. When I see "one pan" I think "easy". However, when there are (lots of) ingredients I have to look up just to know what they are, I have to just say no to this cook book.

NPR doesn't lie -- it's a solid cookbook -- but the book title does: the bolognese called for two pans.

I think I'd like to hang out and cook with these guys, but I never felt inspired to try any of the recipes. Not exactly the type of ingredients I have lying around the house though. Nice vivid photos.

I liked this cookbook and will be looking at it again. Great ideas for really interesting food with minimal clean up.

Unusual recipes and excellent photographs. Most were too difficult to replicate but worth a look. Somewhat recommended.
