Milk Street: The New Rules

Fans of Milk Street say that Christopher Kimball has made cooking fun again--with recipes that simplify your time in the kitchen and dramatically improve the results.

You'll trade time-consuming marinades for brighter finishing sauces that take a minute to produce. You'll learn that surface area is the key to crispy skin and evenly cooked chicken. And other ideas include:

* A simple trick, like shredding chicken breast to coat it more evenly in a flavorful sauce, produces delicious recipes like Vietnamese Chicken Salad with Sweet Lime-Garlic Dressing.

* A tip for building all-day flavour with a weeknight pasta sauce is used in Malaysian-Style Noodles with Pork and Mushrooms.

* And show off a set of transformational principles for quicker, more flavourful stews with Spanish Chorizo, Ham and White Bean Stew.

Each of these modern classic dishes features a full-page photograph alongside step-by-step photography and clear instructions to make it perfect every time.
