John Kanell has done it again! What a fantastic cookbook. Easy to read, great stories, delicious recipes and so much more. He adds so much love and seasoning to his recipes. This would make great Christmas or birthday gifts. Well done!! If you haven’t gotten his first book “Preppy Kitchen” it’s a must have and my favorite of the two.

This book is excellent. It has everything from how to make dressings, pickled onions to delicious salmon and one-pot recipes. There are tons of things that cought my attention and most importantly I dont feel overwhelmed. The recipes are almost all 1-page long and really look simple. I feel like I can incorporate multiple ones to my daily routine and it wont take more than 30-45 min. I am super stocked and I love John Kanell. This is by far the best cookbook I have!

I just started watching John Kanell's YouTube video channel. And his recipes looked so yummy that I wanted to purchase both his cookbooks. However, when I received it, I was a little bit surprised. Most of the recipes that he has on his channel seem to be made with up to 5, maybe 6 ingredients. However, in the cookbook there's an average of 10 to 15 ingredients; with many having a little more, and a couple of them have little less. I haven't found any that had less than 8 ingredients. I guess this would be okay, but I expected to see the simplicity of his recipes on his Youtube channel transfer over to his cookbooks. The cookbook is gorgeous. Just like his YouTube channel says... He does give variations on how to cook each recipe. The photos are pretty. They make the food look yummy. However, the one main thing that I was disappointed in was that literally half (50%) of his cookbook includes sugary foods; like breads and sweets. Even his little breakfast section also has a lot of sweet recipes. I would have rathered seen more savory foods than this many sweet recipes in a cookbook. Most cookbooks that I've seen in the past, they kind of divide food types into like 3 to 5 sections, such as salads, soups, main dishes, and maybe a section on veggies. Usually the sweet section doesn't take up more than about 25% to 30% of the cookbook. To me he would have been better off making a dessert cookbook, versus adding this many sweet recipes in this cookbook. I am trying to cut back on sweets. I'm not sure I would have ordered this cookbook if I had known literally half of the cookbook was filled with breads and sweets. So if you're looking to cut down on sugar this would not be the cookbook for you. I've tried a couple of his recipes and their close to coming out the same as on his YouTube channel; with the exception of his egg rolls. The filling is delicious. I just can't get the egg roll wrappers to look as crisp as what his YouTube channel shows. I'm not convinced they've been air fried on his Youtube channel. They look more like they've been deep-fried in oil. At least 25% to 30% of the beginning of this cookbook, he tells his story on foods, and which tools you need to have to make your cooking experience more successful. Within each recipe he shares a brief personal story that connects his readers with the recipes. This is a brand new cookbook. But there was a little bit of damage at the corner of the cookbook which happened preshipping. It won't take away from the cookbook being used; but I was hoping I could have gotten a very clean, next to perfect cookbook, when I first order a cookbook, especially if I buy it brand new.

This amazing new cookbook from Preppy Kitchen has such a great repertoire of delicious recipes that are sure to please anyone who enjoys cooking and eating delicious homemade foods, and has a great selection of recipes that do not require much fuss to prepare!

I am looking forward to making the awesome recipes from Preppy Kitchen Super Easy, and gifting this book to my friends who enjoy cooking, and who might want to become familiar with Preppy Kitchen recipes!

I love John Kanell! This is his second cookbook, filled with wonderful recipes and lovely photography. John's recipes are easy, delicious, and down-to-earth. He explains everything clearly, from ingredients to mixing and assembling to serving. I am an experienced cook and baker, and I constantly learn new things from John Kanell, whether from his lovely cookbooks or his wonderful YouTube videos. I had pre-ordered this book, and it arrived early, in perfect condition. It's a good, hard-cover volume that contains some of the most delicious-looking recipes. I will be making many of these simple dishes for my friends and family in the coming holiday season. Fall is the perfect time for warm, comforting gatherings, and John will be with us in all his culinary glory! Thank you, Chef Kanell, for another rich volume of scrumptious foods!

I’ve always admired beautifully presented dishes but often felt intimidated by the complexity of gourmet cooking. Enter Preppy Kitchen: Super Easy, and my entire perspective has changed! John Kannell has truly outdone himself with this cookbook. It’s not just about the over 100 recipes – it’s about how approachable and delightful he makes each one. The recipes are a perfect balance between creativity and simplicity. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a kitchen newbie, you’ll find yourself inspired to try out new dishes without feeling overwhelmed. The step-by-step instructions are incredibly clear, and the ingredients are easily accessible, which means you can whip up something that looks like it belongs on a restaurant menu in no time at all. The photography is stunning, too – each page is like a mini work of art, motivating you to get into the kitchen and start cooking. One of my favorite aspects is how Kannell emphasizes that you don’t need to be a culinary expert to create a dish that’s as delicious as it is visually appealing. This book makes gourmet cooking feel achievable, which is no small feat! If you’re looking for a cookbook that will not only expand your culinary horizons but also boost your confidence in the kitchen, Preppy Kitchen: Super Easy is the perfect addition to your collection. Highly recommend!
