The Lazy Genius Kitchen

I absolutely did not need to read this book - my kitchen is pretty organized, and I'm not feeling flustered in there. But, what's not to love about reading someone else's ideas for how to make it better. This is worthwhile because of the mindset of freedom and accepting of what really matters.

“A Lazy Genius is a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't.”

There you go.

That's the heart of this book. The philosophy behind The Lazy Genius Kitchen reminds me of my pediatrician who told me, “You as mom know your child best. Trust your gut.” That's what this book does: this book encourages us as cooks, at whatever skill level we fall, to trust our gut when it comes to knowing what we like to eat, to knowing how much trouble we want to go to in our cooking, to knowing what things we need in our kitchen to get the desired result. This book is a confidence builder, and it relies on doing a few simple things to clear out the clutter that has accumulated in our cooking brains from all the other books we've read and shows we've watched and advice we have been given.

Well worth the couple of hours I spent with this little book.

This book was so amazing, practical and helpful especially for those of us who like to cook and want to do it in the most efficient way possible. It's a book I'd like to own in paperbook form as different seasons in life may require some changing to our priorities. Go ahead and read this book if you want to make the most out of your time, kitchen and keep the people in your life fed and well...why not even thankful to have you in their life. Just a quick note: it's a “how to” book, so the author stays true to its title.
