Summary

In a world where everyone seeks to be special and prides themselves on their differences, there is one common bond that unites us all--basicness.

-Basic Bitch Lifeblood, aka. the Pumpkin Spice Latte

-"I Could Eat This, Like, Every Day" Sushi Rolls
-A Deeply Personal Cauliflower Pizza
-Way Too Easy (If You Know What I Mean) One-Sheet-Pan Dinners
-Antidepressant Red Velvet Cake Pops

In addition to these easy, fun, and flavorful crowd-pleasing recipes, Chowhound editor Joey Skladany provides tips and tricks for cooking basics, such as how to build a pantry and cooking tools that every chef needs.

Publisher's Weekly Review

In this humorously irreverent debut cookbook, Chowhound editor-at-large Skladany presents over 100 "tried-and-true recipes that are not only delicious but super easy to make." He opens with beverages--including a frosé, made with rosé and frozen strawberries, and a nonalcoholic pumpkin spice latte--and quick appetizers that can be prepared in 20 minutes or less, such as avocado toast and caprese salad with burrata cheese. Many of the entrees are healthy options, including sheet pan salmon with lemon-dill dressing and black bean-quinoa burgers, but there are also plenty of indulgent dishes as well, grilled cheese with cheesy fries and truffle macaroni and cheese among them. Desserts feature palatable fare such as chocolate chip cookies and strawberry macaroons, while a chapter on brunch offers classic dishes like chicken and waffles and quiche. Less experienced cooks will appreciate the tips that Skladany sprinkles throughout ("I opted for margarine... because it has a higher melting point than butter"), and may chuckle at some racy recipe introductions ("My grandma says if she's not dead by ninety, she'll become a heroin addict"; "Boys on Grindr looking for 'friends' are like me walking into a Chinese restaurant and looking for bok choy"). The recipes are straightforward and easy to follow, making this book a reliable resource for home cooks looking to build a repertoire. (May)

Excerpts

Chapter 1: Basic Bevs 1 Basic Bevs Aside from crafting, organizing, complaining, cozying up to a pet or nonexistent boyfriend, and snacking while watching Netflix, there's nothing a basic bitch loves more than sipping. The simple action, whether through a straw, delicately from a mug, or sloppily from a Solo cup, can yield a world of possibilities: hydration, sustenance, relaxation, stimulation, and, perhaps our favorite state, drunkenness. But the liquid game is constantly evolving. While basic bitch staples such as pumpkin spice lattes and rosé certainly aren't going anywhere anytime soon, they're now adorned with edible flowers and the like, infused with trendy herbal tinctures, or reimagined with different colors, ingredients, and preparations. And I'm here for it. This bevy of bevs, ranging from familiar to trendy, healthy to alcoholic, is a basic bitch mealtime necessity. They're also the perfect drinks for after-work happy hours, spontaneous cocktail soirees, and preplanned gatherings, such as sorority retreats or Rodan + Fields "parties." So raise your glass to a new catalog of delicious offerings that you can now cheers with your favorite gays and girlfriends.
