I fell in love with Kelsey Nixon while watching her cook her way to winning Next Foodnetwork Star a few years ago. Now her first cookbook, Kitchen Confidence: Essential Recipes and Tips That Will Help You Cook Anything, has hit the shelves! Her delicious, healthy, and easy recipes are ones I can recreate in the kitchen and feed my family. Honestly, this cook book is fantastic!
The book begins with all of Kelsey's essential kitchen items- tools, pantry ingredients, and a simple how to guide. It is a wonderful overview for beginner cooks and even introduces a few useful techniques for the more seasoned chef.
The recipes are varied, easy to follow, and delicious. All courses are covered, from breakfast to appetizers to desserts, as well as party planning menus. They are simple but interesting recipes, each one with an interesting ingredient or twist that causes the dish to rise above its average counterpart.
Our family favorites were:
- Skillet Sausage Hash with Eggs
-Tarragon Chicken Salad
- Creamed Corn
- Essential Stove-top Mac n Cheese (to die for!)
- Summer Bean Pea Salad
- Skillet Blueberry Peach Cobbler
This cookbook is beautifully laid out with colorful pictures on most pages, fun fonts and tidbits about the recipes. If you like cooking, or need more confidence in the kitchen, I highly recommend Kelsey Nixon's cookbook!
