OrangeReviewStarFood writer Henry (A Bird in the Hand) has a knack for genius flavor combinations, and her latest doesn't disappoint. This follow-up to her 2009 cookbook Pure Simple Cooking features a low-effort style of cooking suitable for weeknights and spur-of-the-moment occasions. Recipes such as cumin-coriander roast carrots with pomegranates and avocado, honeyed pork loin with plum and lavender relish, and sherry-roasted pear and chocolate sundaes have relatively short ingredient lists and call for minimal to moderate chopping and active cooking.
VERDICT Those looking to enliven their daily toast, eggs, pastas, and salads will find particularly fabulous choices here, along with other delicious mains and desserts.
