Simply Julia by Julia Turshen

Simply Julia by Julia Turshen

Beloved New York Times bestselling cookbook author Julia Turshen returns with her first collection of recipes featuring a healthier take on the simple, satisfying comfort food for which she's known.



Julia Turshen has always been cooking. As a kid, she skipped the Easy-Bake Oven and went straight to the real thing. Throughout her life, cooking has remained a constant, and as fans of her popular books know, Julia's approach to food is about so much more than putting dinner on the table--it is about love, community, connection, and nourishment of the body and soul. 

In Simply Julia, readers will find 110 foolproof recipes for more nutritious takes on the simple, comforting meals Julia cooks most often. With practical chapters such as weeknight go-tos, make-ahead mains, vegan one-pot meals, chicken recipes, easy baked goods, and more, Simply Julia provides endlessly satisfying options comprised of accessible and affordable ingredients. Think dishes like Stewed Chicken with Sour Cream + Chive Dumplings, Hasselback Carrots with Smoked Paprika, and Lemon Ricotta Cupcakes--the kind of flavorful yet unfussy food everyone wants to make at home.

In addition to her tried-and-true recipes, readers will find Julia's signature elements--her "Seven Lists" (Seven Things I Learned From Being a Private Chef that Make Home Cooking Easier; Seven Ways to Use Leftover Buttermilk; Seven Ways to Use Leftover Egg Whites or Egg Yolks), menu suggestions, and helpful adaptations for dietary needs, along with personal essays and photos and gorgeous food photography. 

Like Melissa Clark's Dinner or Ina Garten's Modern Comfort Food, Simply Julia is sure to become an instant classic, the kind of cookbook that will inspire home cooks to create great meals for years to come.

Now & Again (Amazon's Best Cookbook of 2018, an NPR 'Great Read'), Feed the Resistance (Eater's Best Cookbook of 2017), and Little Victories (designated one of the Best Cookbooks of 2016 by the New York Times and NPR) are among Julia Turshen's bestselling books. She's also the host of 'Stay Calm and Cook On,' an IACP-nominated podcast. She's been named one of the 100 Greatest Home Chefs of All Time by Epicurious, and she's been described as in the forefront of a new generation of honest, approachable authors by The New York Times. She is the originator of Equality At The Table, an inclusive digital directory of women and non-binary individuals in the food industry, and serves on the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History's Kitchen Cabinet Advisory Board. She, her wife, and their pets live in the Hudson Valley.
