Deb Perelman is the author of two best-selling cookbooks; one of the internet's most successful food bloggers; the creator of a homegrown brand with more than a million Instagram followers; and the self-taught cook with the tiny kitchen who obsessively tests her recipes to make sure that no bowls are wasted and that the results are always worth the effort.

 What's a keeper? 
  • a full-crunch cucumber salad you'll want to make over and over again for lunch
  • a tomato and corn cobbler that tastes like summer sunshine
  • an epic deep-dish broccoli cheddar quiche that even quiche skeptics love
  • a slow-roasted chicken on a bed of unapologetically schmaltzy croutons
  • a butterscotched apple crisp that will ruin you for all others
  • perfect spaghetti and meatballs, better than ever
  • Deb's ultimate pound cake, one to redeem all the sleepy ones you've eaten over the years

Review

NAMED AMAZON'S BEST COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR
A
BON APPETIT BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

"Deb Perelman has gained a devoted following with her blog, Smitten Kitchen, where she shares rigorously tested recipes written with warmth and wit. For her third book, Perelman collects 100 “keepers,” recipes that are guaranteed to be hits whether you’re making it the first or 50th time—recipes like slow-roasted chicken on schmaltzy croutons, perfect spaghetti and meatballs and chocolate peanut butter cup cookies." --
Forbes' Vetted (The Best Cookbooks Publishing in 2022)

"In an industry that often hypes what's new, it’s refreshing to see equal attention paid to the familiar. If there’s one person to rely on for tried-and-tested recipes, it’s Deb Perelman, who has been running her blog, Smitten Kitchen, for 16 years. The essence of her latest cookbook is about repetition—recipes that she’s made time and time again, each time with a new improvement, so that they may make their way into your forever files. This collection features those almost-perfect dishes, peppered with Perelman’s inviting energy." --Jessica Sulima,
Thrillist

"For her third cookbook, Perelman has taken the wisdom she has accumulated in the 16 years since she created Smitten Kitchen and funneled it into “keepers,” i.e., recipes deserving of a place in her “forever files” and yours. That means, for example, a towering broccoli cheddar quiche baked in a springform pan, deli pickle potato salad that makes smart use of both pickles and brine, and chocolate peanut butter cup cookies that I can personally attest merit the “keeper” designation. Perelman, as is her wont, employs her trademark warmth and humor as she shepherds you from breakfast to dessert and beyond, making this both a fun and practical read." --Rebecca Flint Marx,
Eater

"Recipes become regulars when they're fast, reliable, and deliciously worth the effort. In her third book, Smitten Kitchen founder Deb Perelman offers 100 recipes for oft-requested favorites like a fuss-free lemon poppy seed cake and “an epic quiche” sure to become some of the last you'll ever need to learn." --Jacqueline Raposo,
Epicurious

"Keeper recipes should bring chefs joy, writes
Smitten Kitchen blogger Perelman (Smitten Kitchen Everyday) in this fuss-free collection that aims to make “food more reliably delicious.” Those on offer here cover a range of options, from weeknight fare to more elaborate offerings, and easily earn their place in home cooks’ “forever” files. Salad options pack some surprises, as in a deli pickle potato salad that can be kept in the fridge for up to four days. Filling, meat-centric dinners include cabbage and kielbasa with rye croutons, roasted lemon chicken wings, and turkey meatloaf, which is topped off with a glaze of ketchup, molasses, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Perelman excels at tricking out vegetables to create such appetizing dishes as charred salt and vinegar cabbage with butter and garlic, and a spiced winter squash soup with red onion crisp. The desserts are standouts, among them brownielike chocolate peanut butter cup cookies, thick molasses spice cookies, brown butter carrot cake, and crumb pie bars...Perelman’s mastery of culinary magic is evident on every page, and the recipes are clearly the work of someone who knows what she is doing in the kitchen. Practical and versatile, this is a boon to home cooks." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Every cookbook creator makes a dish again and again so that we don't have to, and Perelman ( Smitten Kitchen Every Day, 2017) just seems to have more fun doing so. With us strangers in mind...she shares recipes that withstand the most important test: folks will actually want to make and eat them over and over. For breakfast, a bodega-style fried-egg sandwich can be yours in three minutes, and a salad-topped frittata cooks entirely in the oven. Vegetables get their own chapters, organized by size...Meat dishes are balanced and homey, like a skillet-chicken parmesan that promises crispiness and sauciness and fail-safe, 10-ingredient pulled pork. Repeat-worthy cookies and unfussy cakes fill out the sweets chapter before Perelman invites readers to host more parties with a tight edit of crowd-pleasing drinks (alcoholic and non) and snacks. There's a reason readers are still smitten, and this ode to "Weeknight Greatness" confirms it." --Annie Bostrom,
Booklist (starred review)

"In her third cookbook, Perelman returns with a gathering of the best versions of her key dishes—recipes that she has tested, trialed, and tweaked until they became what she wants her kids and readers to learn by heart and cook with delight...The book is a joy to read, with Perelman’s confiding, cheering voice showcased in short prefaces and recipe notes. She writes as if she were dashing off a recipe on a napkin for her best friend, while at the same time telling them what to do to really make it work. It is pure pleasure. The book covers breakfasts (which Perelman says are good at any time of day), salads, soups, vegetables, meats, sweets, and even a few drinks. Vegetarians and gluten-free eaters will find plenty of options and can adapt many of the other recipes...Essential for all collections. The cookbook, like the recipes it shares, is a keeper." --Neal Wyatt,
Library Journal (starred review)

"Given Perelman’s dedication to recipe testing and her fuss-free mentality, it’s no surprise that many consider her latest book her best. Perelman has also solidified herself as the ultimate “keeper” with Smitten Kitchen Keepers." --Georgia Johnson, 
Good Times

    What I look for in a cookbook: Photos for every recipe, attainable ingredients, detailed instructions that make the recipe seem achievable. Deb nails all three.

    I have already made several recipes out of this book, and all have been a success (turkey meatloaf for skeptics and ranch-y crushed potatoes [DIVINE, one of my favorite meals I’ve ever eaten]; chicken with chorizo, tomatoes, and rice; chicken parmesan; salted milk chocolate cake [this is THE BEST CAKE I HAVE EVER MADE and I bake a lot!]; green angel hair pasta; fettuccine with white ragu).

    Not only were they successes, but there was no moment of panic where I thought perhaps something had gone horribly awry, and this is thanks to Deb’s clear and helpful instructions. I’ve made many, many of Deb’s recipes from her website and other cookbooks, and one place where Deb really shines is in her recipe testing.

    Deb will often provide multiple options for each recipe: maybe you want to use a food processor instead of a blender. Maybe you want to make part of the recipes ahead of time. Deb somehow anticipates these questions and answers them thoroughly. You can tell each recipe has been tested dozens of times over.

    Recipes will include assurances such as, “Don’t worry if it looks like X, that is normal.” These little details make all the difference and give confidence to see the recipe through. There is no moment of panic because Deb has anticipated it and is there to assuage your worries. She wants you to succeed! This differs from other recipes I have followed where there isn’t as much guidance as I would have liked. Deb provide visual cues and time cues for doneness of each step, and this is absolutely key. I always feel confident going into a new recipe from Deb, and I feel confident recommending her recipes to others too.

    In summary, Deb is an absolute icon, is incredibly thorough with her recipes, and has never led me astray. I discovered Deb in my early 20s; quite frankly, she taught me how to cook. I am a self-proclaimed Debhead. I will come back to her recipes time and time again because they are foolproof and yet sensational. I never ever write reviews for books, but I feel I owe it to Deb for how much joy she has brought me over the years. Thank you, Deb! I will buy every cookbook you write.

    Super excited to get the 3rd Smitten Kitchen book to add to our cookbook collection! I love Smitten Kitchen recipes, and I really appreciate her streamlining her process and making things simpler, ie one bowl recipes.

    My husband and I made the turkey meatloaf and smashed ranch-y potatoes. The meatloaf did take us longer then the prescribed 30-35 minutes. Not sure if it was how we shaped it, but ours took closer to 50 minutes. I don't think we're huge meatloaf people, so I can't say the recipe was bad. But it was tasty. The potatoes really stole the show though. My husband did add double the amount of garlic. The potatoes had just the right amount of ranch flavor. We couldn't stop eating them while waiting for the meatloaf to finish cooking.

    I've also made the big crumb pie bar with mostly apples and 2 pears I had lying around. I did a cinnamon/ginger spice mixture. It has been my favorite baked good from the book so far. It was just fantastic. The apples had just the right texture, not mushy but not a hard snap to them. The base layer is quite thick, but that was a welcome surprise for us.

    I enjoyed the devil's food cake with salted milk chocolate frosting, and it was very easy to make! The cake is light and moist as well. I made the carrot cake and liked it, but it didn't particularly stand out to me. (Note: definitely line your loaf pan with parchment paper when making this).

    Like she writes, the oatmeal date shortbread cookies are so so addicting. I didn't realize how much I would love them, but they really are good. Buttery and tasty. I also made the blueberry pancakes cobbler. Such a fantastic idea and really easy to make on a Saturday morning. The blueberries get melty and become almost like a compote with a simple lemony flavor to them.

    I made the walnut Brittle chocolate chip cookies today. I made 4 at first to test them and make sure the temp of my oven was okay. I did let them sit a minute longer then the 12 minutes the recipe states. Definitely pull them out at 10-12 minutes. Although they're still somewhat soft, they vecame too firm for my liking with the crunchy Brittle. I baked the rest at just under 12 minutes, and they were much better texture wise.

    I can't wait to keep making more from this book! The raspberry crostata is calling my name

    I cook ~5 nights per week. This is my favorite cookbook for autumn and winter. So many cozy, delicious, easy recipes. And honorable mention for the best chicken and dumpling soup I have ever made. My family (including extended relatives) requested it make an appearance for Christmas dinner - it’s that good. I’ve made so many of these recipes on a monthly basis. They really are “keepers.”

    Like Deb's previous cookbooks, love it. Straightforward delicious recipes although not all quickies.
    Impressed by the Green Pasta Sauce as I don't like cooked spinach. Much prefer it raw in salads, so this is a great sauce which doesn't taste "spinach-y", it's one of the quickies in the book, it's an enjoyable meat-free meal for a meat eater like me and a vitamin boost as well! It's going in my recipe "bible" along with the Spaghetti & Meatballs and Slumped Frittata. I've gone right off frittata so don't make it these days, but thought I'd give this a go. Quick, light and tasty - not sure I'd call it a frittata. It's in the breakfast chapter but I served it with fried potatoes for a light tea. Even my other half said it was delicious and he is not a frittata man.
