Not long ago, Milk Street magazine was a scrappy startup; today the franchise sprawls like a gastronomic version of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Every few months another cookbook tumbles forth from the Milk Street recipe database: Do you need another? I'd argue yes. If you, like me, routinely ax recipes that use one pan too many for a weeknight, this book is a godsend. Cook the pasta right in there with the pancetta, chard and beans. Forget about layering phyllo, just crumple it on top for skillet spanakopita. In other words, Christopher Kimball gleefully breaks rules in the name of simplification. --T.
