Whether you're buying food for the week or just a food lover who wants to explore new tastes, Kitchen Remix is the flexible handbook you'll constantly have open thanks to its 75 recipes that reimagine dinner.
Charlotte Druckman, an accomplished food writer and journalist, shows you how to combine--and re-combine--three base ingredients into a variety of distinct meals: goat cheese, strawberries, and balsamic vinegar turn into Goat Cheese Salad, Strawberry-Chevre Parfaits, and Strawberry Shortcakes. Squid, cornmeal, and peppers are the key players in Hoecake, Cornmeal-Crusted Calamari, and Saucy Peppers, Polenta & Boiled Squid. Meanwhile, Curry-Roasted Carrots, Carrot Upside-Down Cake, and Thai-ish Carrot Salad are all within easy reach when you begin with carrots, cashews, and coconut.
With trendy recipes and exciting twists, this book makes cooking simple and fun with easy-to-follow recipes and a manageable pantry section for home cooks of all skill levels. Along the way you'll also learn techniques such as braising, poaching, and oven-frying. It's a flavor guide for the food curious that will grow with you in the kitchen.
Kitchen Remix: 75 Recipes for Making the Most of Your Ingredients: A Cookbook Reviews

I'm blown away by this concept! Each category of the cookbook has pairings of 3 main ingredients, and a few recipes with those pairings. The coolest part though is a little chart that comes with each pairing that lists the flavor profile of the ingredient, a tip or fun fact, substitutions, and other ingredients that compliment it well.
This book is perfect for my level of cooking skill: I'm at the point now where I want to experiment with gourmet concepts and mature palettes, but it is hard to know how to adapt fancier recipes with ingredients that I'm not too familiar with. So like I said, this book is perfect because it teaches you how to pair, adapt, and substitute. I'm going to be playing with this book for a few weeks to decide if I'd like to buy it. Either way, I'm looking forward to learning. -
I like the idea behind this one, but found the book itself...ugh.
I think partly the recipes were just not really to my taste, but also some things just felt weirdly...expensive? Like, go buy a half pound of pine nuts and make them into pine nut butter that will only last in the fridge for two weeks? No thanks.
Also, I feel like the author toots her own horn a bit too much. I found her kind of off-putting. Just, a lot of the descriptions come across to me like, “You guys, listen to this—aren’t I a genius? Applause, applause!”
So, in summary, good idea, but for me, too annoying and too impractical. I suggest Start Simple by Lukas Volger for a similar concept. -
Cool recipe organisation concept

Love the pairing shortcuts she has suggested on each section and recipes are kinda cool !
