This cookbook emphasizes quality ingredients over quality time with your stove—and since it’s written by a food stylist, you can expect to spend what little kitchen downtime you have left poring over the book’s hundreds of stunning photographs. Between its true-to-heritage Greek fare (white bean purée, sweet peas and tarragon, roasted pork chops with broccolini rapini) and detailed instructions on how to braise, blister, pan-roast, and preserve, you’ll reach for this text time and time again—even if just to look.
