From the James Beard Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling author. "Through the recipes for 10 classic meals, he covers how to cook almost anything." -- Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa

From Scratch looks at ten favorite meals, including roast chicken, the perfect omelet, and paella -- and then, through 175 recipes, explores myriad alternate pathways that the kitchen invites. A delicious lasagna can be ready in about an hour, or you could turn it into a project: try making and adding some homemade sausage. Explore the limits of from-scratch cooking: make your own pasta, grow your own tomatoes, and make your own homemade mozzarella and ricotta. Ruhlman tells you how.

There are easy and more complex versions for most dishes, vegetarian options, side dishes, sub-dishes, and strategies for leftovers. Ruhlman reflects on the ways that cooking from scratch brings people together, how it can calm the nerves and focus the mind, and how it nourishes us, body and soul.

"Like a master chef clarifying a murky stock into a crystal-clear consommé, Ruhlman detangles the complex web of technique, myth, and folklore that is cooking... The lessons are set up in such a way that you can decide exactly how deep a dive you want to take, though with a guide like Ruhlman at your side, that's most likely a mouth-first leap straight into the deep end." -- J. Kenji López-Alt, New York Times-bestselling-author of The Wok

"He's like a good friend joining you in the kitchen, and this book will certainly become the home cook's trusted companion." -- Thomas Keller, chef/proprietor, The French Laundry
