Literally Life changing
Smitten in Seattle
I am an enthusiastic cook during normal times. Living in Seattle and fortunate to be able to source great ingredients—specifically fish and shellfish just hours out of the water, meal preparation has never been a chore. But during pandemic times, even the occasional special meal “out” has been put on ice since February, due to a high risk situation that makes it really not worth the bother. So I’ve sharpened my knives, organized my pantry and soldiered on. I’m not generally a cookbook user—yes, I do collect them and subscribe to all the usual suspects on a monthly or quarterly basis, but I rely on a book or magazine more for a concept to riff on or a food trend to explore. But when I began delving into NYT Cooking—a part of my Times subscription at large, that changed. There are so many great recipes it makes it easy to cook anything and everything from a pantry pasta to the most elaborate meal and have an excellent outcome—and fun along the way. I am a lifestyle journalist, so I love the context and backstory of each recipe—reading the accompanying article is a great source of pleasure. But these recipes really work and the shopping list tool is a handy helper. In short, I’ve found an endless source of material, entertainment and great food at my fingertips. Thank you for keeping me inspired and cooking with joy! ❤️
Improved my cooking game, but few healthy options & needs more diversity

I’ve had this app for years, and it’s established me as the great family cook in my household. I’ve learned an incredible amount on cooking technique and became a serious fan of Melissa Clark, Mark Bittman and other star chefs that the NYT features. Particularly if you love Jewish or Italian American food, which is the bedrock of New York food culture, you will be very content. Over the course of many years though, I’ve gained 20 pounds making recipes from this app, despite trying a lot of “healthy” tagged recipes, placing me in the prediabetes range. Increasingly I see making these dinners as only for special occasion for guests or reduce the oil amount & increase the veggies in recipes, while I start to look elsewhere for more whole grain, plant based and lean protein recipes to improve my health. I also currently live in the Bay Area (an ex New Yorker) and personally want to expand my tastes to other international cuisine. You will not find much in the way of Asian cooking (apart from Korean), South American and Mexican, and Middle Eastern food that has become more popular on the West Coast. The NYT could try harder to diversify its rotation of chefs and recipes. I would also challenge chefs to make much healthier food to be equally delicious. But otherwise thank you for making me a better chef, after years of cooking with the times I’ve learned to improvise and make cooking a personal pleasure and art form for myself. Thanks again!
Cannot beat this cookbook!

Every chef will have a decent take on most recipes, which will do in a pinch. But no chef and no team is going to have the traditional recipe for every dish in every cuisine on the globe with suggestions on what you can do to make it fantastic. New York City is one of a handful of cities in which every country and ethnicity is represented. Where else can you find what is a reasonable substitute when a rare ingredient is out of season, or how to manage a hard dried stored version of a hard to find and mostly unknown ingredient? If my friend is homesick for the Singaporean Chicken and Rice she grew up on, I want to have the real thing when she gets here and I will look here. If I want to reinstate our family tradition of making sweet chile rellenos the day before a holiday and I can’t remember how much cloves to add, I am going to look here. It is possible to have a cookbook for most cuisines, but not all. But someone in NY remembers making dumplings with their mom in Tibet before the family escaped and arrived in NYC and they will contribute the recipe if someone needs it. I have not looked for every recipe I mentioned so I hope I don’t disappoint but if you need one that is not here, then ask! And it WILL be here. This is, hands down, my go to if I want the REAL recipe for…well…Anything!
