The Don't Panic Pantry Cookbook

“Noah Galuten has a distinct perspective on how to approach cooking at home: you should be focused but not take yourself too seriously. Noah is one of those people who goes to the farmers market, fills up on whatever inspires him, heads back to his kitchen to make a plan… but is not afraid to freestyle in the moment. I am certain that the book that you have in your hands will be as joyful to use as the memories you will make with your friends and loved ones while cooking from it.” –Chef Nyesha Arrington

“Don’t Panic Pantry!!! My friend Noah Galuten has made a good cookbook. I mean, really good. Creative, cravable and healthy recipes that you’ll want to cook and eat every day.” –Chef Jeremy Fox, author of On Vegetables

“Thrillingly practical and forward-thinking. The Don’t Panic Pantry Cookbook is brimming with useful information and appealing, everyday recipes.” –Lukas Volger, author of Snacks for Dinner and Start Simple

“You’re excited, all revved up about the new dish you want to cook. You’ve seen a recipe by a famous chef and you cannot wait to make it. Tonight’s the night. After studying the recipe, you go to your pantry. Oh, no! Where is anything? It’s time to panic. But, wait, I have the solution, or should I say Noah Galuten has the problem solved. Run out and buy his terrific The Don’t Panic Pantry Cookbook and your kitchen skills will jump off the plate. After reading Noah’s book, when six people walk into your home unannounced, you’ll be able to confidently say, “Let me make you dinner!” – maybe Gruyere, Leek and Swiss Chard Pie or Chicken Milanesa – and what a good dinner it will be.” –Chef Nancy Silverton, author of The Mozza Cookbook and Chi Spacca

“As a pandemic project, chef Galuten and Iliza Shlesinger, his comedian wife, began a streaming cooking show designed to entertain and comfort, but also to help those people who panic-bought beans, lentils, and brown rice but really didn’t know what to do with them. “Don’t panic, go to your well-stocked pantry, and cook something wonderful” is the outcome they wish for all and the message they underscore. The opening chapter, in fact, shows how to set up and maintain a pantry that will empower home cooks to handle anything. Following chapters cover all the typical courses readers expect…Some, like the sauerkraut omelet, may need the upbeat introduction the authors provide for readers to be willing to try it. Others, such as the chicken Milanesa and the turkey meatballs, could come from any modern cookbook. The major focus, though, is on vegetables and grains and making them the stars of the meal…The friendly, inspirational style makes this accessible to nearly all. For most cookbook collections.”       —Danise Hoover, Library Journal
