Open Kitchen

“Open Kitchen is an exciting collection of beautiful recipes that are easy enough for weekday meals, but impressive enough for entertaining. From Cassoulet Toast (yes, please!) and a Stress-less Cheese Soufflé, to Crispy Semolina Potatoes and an entire chapter of desserts that I’m planning on baking my way through. Susan Spungen’s magnificent book celebrates freshness and takes familiar flavors in unexpected–and delicious–directions. It’s a must for anyone who loves to cook, bake…and of course, eat.” –David Lebovitz, author of My Paris Kitchen and Drinking French“Open Kitchen overflows with intuitive, crave-able cooking! Just like Susan Spungen herself, these recipes will lure you into the kitchen and have you chopping, roasting, and drizzling better than you ever knew you could. This is not just a book on how to make good food, it’s a blueprint for how to cook with joy, confidence, and ease — from prep to presentation!” -Gail Simmons, food expert, TV host and author of Bringing It Home
