Taking you from fishmonger to cheese merchant to greenmarket and then back to your own kitchen, The City Cook makes confident, cosmopolitan cooking effortless. Youll learn how to find the best ingredients at specialty shops and farmers markets, how to curate an urban kitchen, and how to entertain in the city. It will be easy to resist takeout and mediocre restaurant meals with satisfying, pulled-from-the-pantry dishes such as Carrot and Chickpea Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette or Spaghetti with Tomato Paste and Garlic. Deceptively simple showstoppers like Green Beans with Tomatoes and Prosciutto, Salmon Cakes with Spicy Sriracha Mayonnaise, Broiled Black Cod with Miso, and Seared Duck Breasts with Port-Shallot Pan Sauce give you exciting weeknight options. Recipes for Bloody Mary Sorbet with Crab Salad Brioche, Simple Oven-Roasted Whole Duck, and Grand Marnier Soufflé give you an excuse to host a sumptuous supper for your friends.

Review
--Molly O'Neill, author of "One Big Table "and "A Well-Seasoned Appetite "
"Learning to cook, you need this book. Wanting to try something new, you need this book. For resources, you need this book. In short, you need this book."
--Barbara Kafka, author of "Vegetable Love" and the forthcoming "The Intolerant Gourmet"
"As creator of TheCityCook.com, Kate embraced--no, hugged--the unique opportunities and challenges the urban home cook faces. What pleasure to see that enthusiasm carried on in this book. It's packed with citified home entertaining and cooking tips, and when Kate runs with a method--like the suite of different pureed vegetable recipes--you can really see her zeal at work."
--Eugenia Bone, author of "Well-Preserved "and "Italian Family Dining"""
""""
"Kate McDonough has exactly the right idea: making shopping and cooking part of your daily life. Her savvy strategies and recipes show how simple and delicious this can be."
--Roy Finamore, author of the James Beard Award-winner "Tasty"
""""
"With just eight words--big city, small kitchen, limitless ingredients, no time--first-time cookbook author McDonough ensures that she (and her 90 recipes) will wriggle her way into urban kitchens, and urban hearts...there truly is a recipe for everyone."
-- Barbara Jacobs, "Booklist "
