Praise for the paperback

I love these girls and their tasty, delicious, no-nonsense cooking.
Jamie Oliver

This eccentrically enjoyable book by two strange and wonderful women may well be the cookbook America needs right now. Fun, deliberately unintimidating and filled with interesting—even ingenious—recipes, it inspires the non-professional to raise their game-and have a good time while doing so. Both book and authors are clearly good for the world.
Anthony Bourdain

For too long, food writing has made actual cooking seem intimidating and complicated. Tamara and Zora's style leads you along with wit and humor and lots of great tips, to the point where you will be having great convivial dinner parties with interesting food every week without even having to think about it.

This book will help you relax, remind you to slug some wine for courage, and inspire you to corral some friends and friendly strangers. Like the best hosts, the book is full of great stories and generous with advice and encouragement. Cheers to more Sunday night suppers—on any day, at any hour!
