The Comfortable Kitchen

I lovvvvve the meatball recipe in here - a lot of solid recipes highly recommend. Great for a white elephant gift too - got traded so much just came on here and bought it.

This is the second book by this author that I have in my kitchen. It has a wonderful variety of recipes and I find myself going to it daily for ideas. She has developed recipes that are easy to make and full of flavor, plus they are healthy. After 60 years of preparing meals I needed some new recipes to try. A great collection. Joanna

Alex Snodgrass is SO GREAT - she has curated meals that appeal to everyone. This book also gives staples to purchase to set up for success in the kitchen. She uses whole ingredients, and has so many different food genres. I love how her books and recipes has evolved - love all 3 books!

Alex is the queen of delicious weeknight recipes. This book is packed full of wonderful dishes. My favorites so far are the Deconstructed Falafel Salad, Chopped Chipotle Chicken Salad and Peruvian-Inspired Chicken with Tangy Green Sauce. The sauces and dressings in these meals are the stars of the book. I can’t wait to work my way through the rest of the book. There are also photos for each recipe which is a nice touch.

I give it to her, this book is beautiful and of course, the recipes are not complicated and delicious! It is very inviting to walk through a recipe and try something new or just knowing it will be yummy!

The Defined Dish never disappoints. Long time fan and have all of her cookbooks. This one is probably my favorite! I purchased for a favorite things party with some Graza Olive Oil and it was a hit.

Let me start by saying I love Alex Snograss’ cookbooks. I’ve had The Defined Dish for years, I preordered The Comfortable Kitchen when it came out and I’ve already preordered her new cookbook coming out after Christmas this year. There are so many great recipes in this one that my whole family (including picky toddlers enjoy). My kids especially love the Monster Cookie Bites and the Almond Butter cookies. This cookbook has been well loved, so I’m very disappointed that it’s falling apart after only a few years.

I absolutely adore Alex and her recipes! I have recently worked through many recipes from this cook book. Each recipe is splendid and quite easy! I love the addition of cocktails as well. BUT I have to say, I LOVED her first cookbook over this as I prefer the type and style of food. If I were to gift one or the other, I’d choose The Defined Dish. Hopefully this helps someone debating between the 2!
