Transform your home cooking with the smartest, simplest, most powerful recipes from the James Beard Award-winning team at Milk Street.

In the kitchen, brevity is brilliant. Short recipes are the ones cooks remember best—not only because they’re simple to make and easy to repeat, but because they are boiled down to their elemental beauty and charm.

In Milk Street Shorts, Christopher Kimball and his team of cooks and editors have developed a repertoire of nearly 150 genius recipes that are casual, improvisational, and fun. These recipes are not just short—they’re bolder, better cooking because they’re short. Their essential cleverness gives them power that does not require long ingredient lists or all-day cooking.

And every recipe packs a punch—throw-it-together meals like “Nothing Soup,”Chili Crisp Peanut Noodles, and Five-Ingredient Pork and Kimchi Stew, snacks and side dishes like Sunflower Hummus, Crispy Spiced Chickpeas, and Salt and Vinegar Smashed Potatoes, and smart ways to use your oven, like Reverse-Sear Pork Loin, Skillet Lasagna, and Two-Hour Turkey. Recipes are organized by simplicity—Short, Shorter, and Shortest—with chapters including skillet suppers, sheet-pan tray bakes, and weeknight desserts like Clementine Blender Cake.

Milk Street Shorts: Recipes That Pack a Punch by Christopher Kimball is available at Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and Indigo.ca.

Pumpkin: 50 cozy recipes for cooking with pumpkin, from savory to sweet by Ryland Peters & Small

Over 50 heart-warming recipes perfect for colder months, from wholesome soups and stews to delicious desserts like pumpkin pie and much more.

A blustery autumnal evening calls for a large helping of something hearty, nourishing and warming – and pumpkin is the ideal ingredient to deliver some warming comfort. Filling enough to leave you satisfied but ultimately a highly nutritious vegetable, it is a wonderful ingredient for use in many meals and desserts and the perfect tonic for a cold grey day. Roasting the bright orange flesh concentrates the flavour to an intensely sweet nuttiness, which whether combined with herbs and salty cheese or spiced with cinnamon and ginger is a delightful option for both sweet and savoury dishes.

Choose from Light Bites such as Roasted Mushrooms Stuffed with Pumpkin and Chickpeas or Spiced Pumpkin and Feta Filo Parcels, each of which are perfect for serving at a winter gathering to soak up a few mulled wines. Or the plentiful selection of warming Soups and Stews such as Chicken and Pumpkin Tagine or velvety Red Lentil and Pumpkin Soup. Pasta and Rice paired with pumpkin is a classic combination, crowd-pleasing dishes include Pumpkin Gnocchi with Buttery Sage Breadcrumbs or Pumpkin and Pancetta Risotto.

Bread and Baking recipes include creative yet easy to master recipes such as Pumpkin Scones or Madeleines. Finally, Desserts and Hot Drinks features sumptuous treats such as an American Pumpkin Cheesecake and a Spiced Pumpkin Latte. (more…)
