NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORKER

Cooking As Though You Might Cook Again invites us to cook with our senses and to work with the passage of time. Licht’s lyrical recipes turn our attention away from strict measurements, and remind us of the pleasures and the importance of working with what we have.

PRAISE

Small, brilliant, diaristic, an anti-recipe recipe collection that feels like art.
—Helen Rosner

Cooking As Though You Might Cook Again is like an impossibly lucky yard sale find: a personal kitchen journal that was somehow written just for you. Like a handful of dry beans, Danny Licht’s recipes grow, with a rustic everyday magic, to fill all your pots. Follow the rhythm, as I have, of this stern and sweet set of instructions and it will become your daily beat.
—Cal Peternell, author of Twelve Recipes
