Can’t wait to make some of these great foods for family and friends! I could eat out of this book for at least 6 months. Great tips and energy—very encouraging. Yum!

Julia Turshen makes cooking seem like a beautiful thing anyone can do and in her latest cookbook, What Goes With What: 100 Recipes, 20 Charts, Endless Possibilities, she offers up her characteristic warmth and wisdom and a wonderful new set of culinary adventures. Fans of her newsletter Keep Calm & Cook On will recognize the whimsical charts she often shares, demonstrating how versatile a cook we can be with just a handful of simple ingredients. And then she puts all that theory into practice with an incredible range of dishes all of which can be adapted to our individual palates and preferences. This is a cookbook that should be a staple in every home cook's kitchen.

I liked her charts but found many ingredients were either unfamiliar to me or not ones that I would ever have on hand. I think I’m not enough of a cook to bother with this although many recipes sounded great.

I've enjoyed all of Julia Turshen's books. This one is so friendly and approachable and beautifully photographed. Can't wait to try some of these recipes. I'm not sure why she isn't using whole wheat flour anymore, but I'll go where she goes.

What an excellent cookbook. It's not vegetarian, but full of so many great ideas and recipes that I can't wait to try. I love her tone!

This is formatted in a fun approachable way, I viewed it as an ebook loan from my library. Didn’t see anything new, but this might be a good shower gift for a novice.
