Welcome to Litsy!

I liked the charts in this book for flavor & ingredient combos, etc. I also liked the message of keeping a kitchen and cook according to the season of your life and what you like, not for someone else or a fantasy.

Otherwise I don‘t think the info is all that useful for people already comfortable in their kitchens. For those who are not, it might be a tad overwhelming, despite Kendra‘s explicit intent to make it easy. Lots of words!

This isn‘t a cookbook. However, it has some interesting and useful tips for organizing your kitchen, getting the most bang for your buck with meal plans, using the Liquid Index, fun things kids and family members can do to help at meal time, and more. Ended up getting a lot more out of this than I expected.

I adored The Lazy Genius and so I was excited to read this one too. There are a lot of repeated rules and strategies, so it‘s helpful to read the original first. I love the way she approaches cooking in and organizing your space. It‘s all about keeping things simple and doing what makes sense for you in the season you‘re in. Her tips on creating zones and plan B meals will stick with me and I already added added a Bluetooth speaker to my kitchen!

Great book!!!

I don‘t love the word “lazy” and am not a follower of Adachi‘s work, nor have I read her previous book. That said, I liked this and appreciated its focus on identifying and working with your own kitchen priorities, preferences, and rhythms. Cute graphics and some useful tips and lists also make this very browsable/fun to flip through.
