"This labor of love from Sara Kate and Faith of The Kitchn feels like the answer to a lot of lingering kitchen questions. The book is a combination of recipes, kitchen lessons, and organizational and storage tips. It’s everything. So very good!" –Joy the Baker
"[The Kitchn Cookbook] is essentially a road map for organizing the busiest room in your house, stocking your pantry, and implementing simple tweaks that will make cooking faster, more delicious, and more fun." –Every Day with Rachael Ray Magazine
"TheKitchn.com is the go-to site for many home cooks, owing to its warm, friendly editorial voice; its accessible recipes and how-tos; and the glimpses into other people’s kitchens--both figuratively and literally. [The Kitchn Cookbook]’s 150 recipes include one-pot coconut chickpea curry, slow cooker carnitas, and no-bake banana and peanut butter caramel icebox cake. Tips for stocking, organizing, and cleaning your kitchen are also included--the five-minute-a-day plan for a clean kitchen alone makes the book worth the price." –Library Journal
"While the book may be called a cookbook, it certainly isn’t just that. One half of the book is recipes, but the other half is what Gillingham and Durand are calling a handbook to a happy kitchen and loving your kitchen more.” –Publishers Weekly

Everyone loves pudding! Chocolate, pistachio, butterscotch, maple bourbon. But why stop there? No-bake desserts include rice pudding with lemon, Nutella fluff, Thai sticky rice with mango, and wholesome "jello" made with fruit juice. No-bake cookies, and icebox cakes with whipped cream and graham crackers round out these special, delicious desserts. (Lots of them are gluten-free too.) Bakeless Sweets is the first cookbook to give you all of these beloved no-bake desserts in one big book.
“Bakeless Sweets is a tasty morsel, with recipes that work, photos that inspire, and budinos that will make you blush. I wanted to eat the pages right off the spine.

“How could I not love a book that teaches us how to make roasted pistachio pudding, chai-white chocolate budino, Thai sticky rice with mango and sesame seeds, and sour cream panna cotta with clementine curd? The fact that most of the recipes in Bakeless Sweets are naturally gluten-free makes it a boon for anyone who still wants decadent desserts without baking. Also, there’s root beer and cream soda terrine. Need I say more?”—Shauna James Ahern, of GlutenFreeGirl.com and author of Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef
