2017 Milk Street Annual
Milk Street Tuesday Nights Mediterranean Set
125 Simple Weeknight Recipes from the World’s Healthiest Cuisine
So much more than fish and pasta, the true cooking of the Mediterranean is a lesson in how simple, healthy food can be prepared from almost anything.
Spain, Italy and France and Greece are just the start. The cooking of the Mediterranean also includes Turkey and Syria, Tunisia and Morocco, Israel and Egypt, Bosnia and Algeria. With thousands of years of culinary history and hundreds of cuisines, the Mediterranean region has one thing in common: big flavors married to everyday ingredients that combine and transform quickly and easily.
And though every recipe delivers big, naturally healthy flavors, the ingredient lists don’t go on forever. Nor does the cooking. It’s food you really can make for dinner, even if you start cooking at 6 p.m. and need dinner on the table in an hour. Real food for real people. Most of all, Tuesday Nights Mediterranean delivers food inspired by the many and diverse countries that make up the Mediterranean region, not just the usual suspects. This is not a diet cookbook, but it does offer naturally healthy recipes with big, interesting flavors.
Milk Street Fast and Slow Cookbook Set
The New Home Cooking comes to the Instant Pot! Milk Street Fast and Slow shows you how to make the most of your multicooker, with a host of one-pot recipes that show how to prepare the same dish two ways. For the quickest meals, use the pressure cooker setting to cut down on cooking time. Or if you prefer the flexibility of a slow cooker, you can start your cooking hours ahead. Our 304-page cookbook contains more than 125 recipes all shown in full color, and more than half the recipes can be made either fast or using the slow-cooker option on your Instant Pot.
Make great pasta in an Instant Pot, including Two-Cheese Pasta with Cauliflower and Pasta all’Amatriciana. We also have vegetables and side dishes, like Whole Steamed Cauliflower and Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes. Classic meat dishes with a long simmer or braise become quick and easy, from Chili Con Carne to Korean Braised Short Ribs; similarly, upgrade chicken dishes like Chicken Paprikash and Georgian Chicken Stew. Or make beans from scratch, such as homemade Hummus or Black Beans with Bacon and Tequila. We also teach you how to quick-cook rice, bulgur, lentils, oatmeal, polenta, and risotto in the Instant Pot.
Milk Street Kitchin-To™ & Kitchin-Tan™ Charcoal Set
These are the only two knives you’ll need in your kitchen. The utility-sized Kitchin-tan strikes the perfect balance between a paring knife and a chef’s knife. We were inspired by Japanese petty knives, which are commonly used as the go-to knife for smaller tasks around the kitchen, but we added many signature design touches as well, including a file pattern on the blade for a better grip, a unique “lock-in” handle made of micarta (a linen/resin mixture that is grippy even when wet) and a safe rounded-tip knife blade of German 1.4116 steel, a high-quality alloy that holds an edge, resists corrosion and is easily sharpened. Using this knife feels like cutting through butter—it makes cooking fun! It even makes a great sandwich knife.
And the Kitchin-to combines the thin blade of a Japanese vegetable knife and the satisfying heft of a Chinese cleaver. The goal was to design a knife that feels good in the hand, gives you total control of the blade from heel to tip—whether slicing garlic, chopping parsley or cutting through butternut squash like it were butter. We traveled to knife shows, scoured kitchen shops around the country, quizzed home cooks and studied how our cooking school students slice, dice, chop and mince. We then worked with knife-makers and an industrial designer to realize our design. We went through numerous iterations of blade shapes, thicknesses, grinds, weights and handles before reaching what we believe is the perfect knife for all-around kitchen use.
Milk Street Nakiri & Peeler Set
Milk Street Nakiri
What if we told you there is a Japanese knife specifically designed for vegetable prep that will make your cooking safer, easier and faster? It is vastly better than the all-purpose European chef’s knife, which is clunky, heavy and too thick to precisely slice and dice onions, cut carrots into perfect coins or reduce chard into feathery ribbons. The solution is the Milk Street Nakiri. It’s light, thin and sharp, with a design that resembles a mini cleaver—2 inches deep with a squared-off tip. A very thin blade, just 1.6 millimeters at the top, tapers down even thinner toward the end so it slices through even tough ingredients effortlessly without bending. The broad blade shields your fingers when you chop and works as a bench scraper to transfer chopped veggies to the simmering pot. With the help of veteran industrial designer David Lewin, we added a few special touches. The blade is embossed with a nonstick file pattern that replicates the kourochi (blacksmith) or tshuchime (pear skin) finish to traditional nakiris, so sliced ingredients fall right off. A gentle curve accommodates fingers when choking up tight for control, and the handle has been designed to provide a nonslip grip.
