Book Praise
“Those who’ve never been confined to a tiny kitchen rarely learn to cook smart and joyfully with full awareness of the miracle of dinner. Cara and Phoebe make me wistful for the good old days of cooking for twenty in a four-foot-square kitchen. Bravo!”
–Molly O’Neill, author of One Big Table
“In the Small Kitchen is a comprehensive and inspiring must-have guide for quarter-life cooks everywhere. Cara and Phoebe infuse their writing, and their appealing recipes, with the humor and wisdom of those with twice their life experience.”
–Merrill Stubbs, Food52
“Cara and Phoebe have figured out what takes some of us a tad longer to realize. We can cook anywhere, any time, with anything on any budget. Take this book into your kitchen, even if it’s a hot plate and a toaster oven on a bookshelf, and feast.”
–Lynne Rossetto Kasper, host of Public Radio’s The Splendid Table from American Public Media
“Friends and food: What could be more fun? That’s the underlying premise of this practical and creative cookbook. Easy-to-read recipes for all occasions, whether eating alone, with a date or partying with friends.”
–Kirkus Reviews
“I was as charmed by this brilliant collection of recipes as I was transported by the stories behind them. This is a truly wonderful cookbook.”
–Keith McNally, restaurateur and owner of Balthazar
“If I were making my first foray into the world of cuisine, this is the one book I’d want to have because it imparts more than enough joy, and cooking, to fill any rookie cook’s menu.”
–Thane Tierney, LA Review of Books
“Part memoir, part instruction manual, this cookbook stands out because of its usability. [In the Small Kitchen] is sure to please the reader as well as the eater.”
–The Free Lance-Star, Fredricksburg, VA
