“Culled from chefs, bloggers and food world legends like Julia Child and James Beard, these are dishes that are so smart they'll change the way you approach food, making you a better cook.” – Editors from Tasting Table’s “Kitchen Bookshelf
 
“Food52 Genius Recipes, is the hands-down winner of the dog-eared page contest — because it instantly dismisses what might be the most important question asked by a cook confronting a new recipe. Namely, will this work? Of course it will. How do we know? Because the dishes in this collection are genius, here defined as legacy recipes ‘handed down by luminaries of the food world.’” – Jenny Rosenstrach, New York Times editor 
 
“None of the recipes are overly “chefy,” which makes this book a great choice for beginner cooks.”  – Joanne Smart, Senior Editor at Fine Cooking

“Guaranteed to excite and enlighten cooks everywhere, Miglore’s collection is a must-have for every kitchen.”
– Publishers Weekly Starred Review
