From the bestselling cookbook author and one of the internet’s most successful food bloggers, Smitten Kitchen Keepers: New Classics for Your Forever Files is a collection of essential recipes for meals you’ll want to prepare again and again.

For Deb Perelman, keepers are fail-safe, satisfying recipes you’ll rely on for years to come—like a slow-roasted chicken on a bed of unapologetically schmaltzy croutons, a tomato and corn cobbler that tastes like summer sunshine, and an epic deep-dish broccoli cheddar quiche that even quiche skeptics will love. The 100 recipes in Smitten Kitchen Keepers aim to make shopping easier, preparation more practical and enjoyable, and food more reliably delicious for the home cook.

Perelman is the creator of Smitten Kitchen, a homegrown brand with more than a million Instagram followers, and a self-taught cook with a tiny kitchen. She obsessively tests her recipes to make sure that no bowls are wasted and that the results are always worth the effort.
