Urban Pantry: Tips and Recipes for a Thrifty, Sustainable and Seasonal Kitchen
sturlington from Hillsborough, NC
I bought this book on sale, and it shows. Of the three recipes I've tried so far, only one was really worth eating, and it was only so-so. The author over relies on vinegar in her recipes, and doesn't balance the strong sour taste with other flavors. Also, I have to quibble with a whole chapter on eggs in a pantry cookbook. Eggs are a staple, but not really what I would think of as a pantry ingredient. Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It is a far better cookbook for pantry recipes.
