How to roast everything : a game-changing guide to building flavor in meat, vegetables, and more
by America's Test Kitchen (Firm)
The editors at America's Test Kitchen here focus on one of the most accessible cooking methods: roasting. The editors offers cornerstone recipes for such classics as roast chicken, roast beef, and salmon fillets, but it's in highlighting the versatility of roasting that the book really shines. Riffs on familiar fare, such as Thai roast chicken with a chili dipping sauce, coffee-chipotle-rubbed roast beef, and lemon-herb roast cod with crispy garlic potatoes add variety. The book devotes sections to grill roasting, which adds a dimension of smokiness to such dishes as sirloin roast with garlic and rosemary and pork tenderloin with grilled pineapple and red onion salsa. It's all about technique and timing, and the ATK crew delivers their usual clear instructions to ensure success. In addition, they also offer tips for things like buying the best chicken (go with organic and air-chilled), calibrating a meat thermometer, and artfully skewering a bone-in ham for grilling. The thoughtful balance of practicality and imagination will inspire readers of all tastes and skill levels.

Heaton, a television star (Everybody Loves Raymond) and host of the Food Network's Patricia Heaton's Parties, has assembled a collection of family-focused recipes for weeknights and entertaining. Heaton's uncomplicated fare is an homage to her childhood memories growing up in Ohio in the 1960s and '70s and coming home from school to see her mom watching Julia Child on the TV and taking notes. Breakfasts feature fruit-filled muffins, scones, and doughnuts along with pancakes, waffles, and cheesy stratas; there are eggs atop pot-roast hash or baked inside avocados. Finger foods showcase dipping sauces for mini-crab cakes, spicy cauliflower bites, or nachos. Meatloaf, pot roast, stuffed shells, and lamb stew are among the hearty mains on offer, along with a taco salad and a shortcut paella. Sides include stuffed winter squash and quinoa-based salads. For sweet treats there's a chocolate chile tart made with cayenne pepper and a lemon-raspberry icebox cake. Heaton is big on organization, offering practical ideas for kitchen setup ("build your own kitchen over time") and the "bare-bones" pantry, which includes the usual staples as well as vodka ("It helps to have a drink when you're cooking"). These mainstay recipes are not sophisticated, but they are certainly accessible and comforting.
