About The Book

If there is only one book to include in a couple's kitchen library the first few years after their wedding, the Newlywed Cookbook is it. Designed for both novice and expert cooks alike, it includes inspiring ideas for everything from weeknight suppers to Saturday dinner parties with friends and cozy breakfast in bed. With nearly 200 contemporary, easy-to-follow, seasonal recipes, this essential volume will help make every moment shared in the kitchen special.

When most people tie the knot, they probably already have some sense of their way around a kitchen. What makes the newlywed kitchen unique is the way you experience it together and what it says about you as a couple. The Newlywed Cookbook aims to help today’s couples inhabit their kitchen. The recipes are infused with global flavors, seasonal ingredients, some retro nostalgia, and lots of flexibility—most can be customized to suit your particular tastes.

Introduction includes recommendations for cooking for two, cooking for a crowd, setting the table and setting up the kitchen, as well as sections about wine and beer. Recipes are divided by Breakfast & Brunch, Starters & Snacks, Soups & Salads, Pasta, Pizza & Risotto, Main Courses, Side Dishes and Desserts, along with Kitchen Essentials, Essential Tools and Basic Recipes. Each recipe is accompanied by step by step instructions and full-color photographs to help guide you through the process.

Excerpt

Mussels Steamed in Belgian Ale, Shallots & Herbs
 
SERVES 2
2 Tbsp butter
¼ cup (1 oz/30 g) finely chopped shallots
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp chopped fresh thyme
¾ cup (6 fl oz/180 ml) Belgian ale
1 lb (500 g) mussels, scrubbed well and beards removed
1½ tsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Crusty bread for serving
 
In a wide pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute longer.
 
Add the ale and bring just to a boil.
 
Add the mussels, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mussels open, 6–8 minutes. As they open, using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a warmed serving bowl. Discard any mussels that fail to open after 8 minutes.
 
Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the mustard and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the mussels and serve with crusty bread.
