In the kitchen, brevity is brilliance. Short recipes are the ones cooks remember best—not only because they’re simple to make and easy to repeat, but because they are boiled down to their elemental beauty and charm. It’s time to transform your home cooking with the smartest, simplest, most powerful recipes yet from the James Beard Award-winning team at Milk Street.

In “Milk Street Shorts,” we developed a repertoire of nearly 150 recipes that are casual, improvisational and fun. These recipes are short, yes—but they’re also bold, creative and change the way you cook. The recipes get their power not from long ingredients lists or all-day cook times, but their essential cleverness.And every recipe packs a punch. There are throw-it-together meals like “Nothing Soup,” Chili Crisp Peanut Noodles, and Five-Ingredient Pork and Kimchi Stew; snacks and side dishes such as Sunflower Hummus, Crispy Spiced Chickpeas and Salt and Vinegar Smashed Potatoes; and smart ways to use your oven, like Reverse-Sear Pork Loin, Skillet Lasagna and Two-Hour Turkey.

We organized the recipes by simplicity—“Short, Shorter, and Shortest”—with chapters including skillet suppers, sheet-pan tray bakes and weeknight desserts. Each chapter turns the table on what you expect from standard recipes: These are easier, shorter, more flavorful, surprising, game-changing and, let’s be honest, just plain fun to cook.

“Shorts” is not a five-ingredient or “meals in minutes” cookbook; it’s an opening into a world where the last bite is as good as the first. With their perfect balance of flavors and textures, these recipes project confidence—and, as you cook with them, so will you.

Recipes That Pack a Punch

Fluffy Olive Oil Scrambled Eggs

The secret to fluffy scrambled eggs? Extra-virgin olive oil—it heats up faster than butter, creating steam that puffs up the eggs.
