Milk Street: Cook What You Have: Make a Meal Out of Almost Anything (A Cookbook)

Make a meal out of anything.

Stop shopping and start cooking with what you already have. Milk Street shows how everyday pantry staples can become bold, global dishes.

A can of chickpeas turns into hummus, curry, soup, or crispy beans with lemon. Canned tomatoes become pasta all’arrabbiata, shakshuka, or tortilla soup. Eggs and leftovers transform into migas, Spanish tortilla, or fried rice. Even chicken or Parmesan can become flavorful meals like paprikash or lemon pesto.

With 225 recipes, this book teaches not just practicality but creativity—turning cooking into an adventure.
