“For years I've been in awe of Melissa's unique ability to
maintain a fiercely organized, minimalist style without
sacrificing warmth, welcomeness, and creativity. With The
Minimalist Kitchen, we now have all of her secrets and I could
not be more excited about this!” —MOLLY YEH, author of Molly on
the Range
“Melissa helps you bring calm to the chaos of your kitchen. This
book is a feel-good, can-do pep talk about how to keep your
pantry in order, your utensils from getting out of control, and
how to create delicious meals for weekdays and occasions without
getting overwhelmed.” —JEANINE DONOFRIO, author of The Love &
Lemons Cookbook
“This book is stunning and so clever. My kitchen is the site
of minimal so it was so inspiring to read handy tips and easy
changes to make life simpler in the kitchen! I went straight out
and bought food storage containers to get my cupboards in order
like a woman possessed!” —MARTHA COLLISON, Great British Bake Off
quarter-finalist and author of Twist
“I had the good fortune of sampling some of these recipes before
the book was published, and most of our dinners were followed up
with a text the next day: Hey Melissa, can you send me that
recipe from the book? This book is a game-changer. It not only
gives you practical recipes that you will actually make, but it
also teaches you to approach cooking (and maybe life in general)
with a fresh, modern perspective.” —LINDSAY OSTROM, Pinch of Yum
“Melissa is the reason my pantry is now filled with tidy rows of
lidded glass jars each with a pristine label. My spice drawer now
brings me great joy every time I slip it open. In The Minimalist
Kitchen, Melissa inspires tidiness and a pared-down kitchen with
joy and creativity at the heart of it all. With less clutter we
are freed up to enjoy the task of cooking and can then spend more
time at the table eating with the ones we love.” —ASHLEY
RODRIGUEZ, Not Without Salt
“With a welcoming tone, The Minimalist Kitchen invites readers
to choose quality over quantity and gently guides with
efficiency. Melissa's book is gorgeous and thoughtful, with a
strong focus on wholesome ingredients and simplicity that is
often lacking in American kitchen culture. But, most importantly,
her book contains recipes that actually make me excited about
cooking dinner again.” —SARAH KIEFFER, The Vanilla Bean
“As a new mom I've struggled to find time to cook for my family.
I truly miss the time I used to have to make wholesome meals for
the people I love. The Minimalist Kitchen is a great resource for
simplifying your approach to meal planning so you're able to find
the rhythm of your new routine and provide homemade meals without
sacrificing quality time with your family.” —KATE ARENDS, Wit &
Delight
“A meal planner’s dream tool...this book is for the person
looking for quick, weeknight, crowd-pleasers made from
ingredients you likely have in your pantry, or will have no
trouble finding.”—SARA FORTE, The Sprouted Kitchen
"An easy approach to organizing the kitchen and
cooking....plenty will appeal to those who are on the hunt for
swift, simple, palatable fare." —Publishers Weekly
“With many make-ahead and weeknight-friendly recipe options,
Coleman’s concept of minimalism will interest cooks who dream of
a functional, organized, and stylish living space.”—Library
Journal
"Melissa Coleman’s The Minimalist Kitchen shows home cooks how
easy and affordable it is to make dinner when your kitchen is
pared down to the essentials." —The Wall Street Journal

ingredients." —Woman's Day
