“Kathy and Caroline reveal the answer to the often-daunting
question of ‘what’s for dinner tonight?’ I encourage
everyone—whether a novice or seasoned cook—to explore their
kaleidoscopic collection of casual recipes that are sure to satisfy
any group of friends or hungry family.”—Daniel Boulud
“Skillet Lasagna? Cucumber and Watermelon Salad? Yes, please. Find
them in this collection of time-honored, proven dishes—from two
former editors of Saveur magazine—that will become your own family
classics.”—Real Simple
“Any book with an entire section devoted to toast for dinner has my
immediate respect. Kathy and Caroline have assembled a weeknight
arsenal for home cooks that’s inspiring, relatable, and infused
with a deep understanding of the realities of family life. Keepers
epitomizes the way I strive to cook every night.”—Merrill Stubbs,
co-founder of Food52
“Keepers is one of the smartest cookbooks to come out in recent
years. From techniques learned at the International Culinary Center
to daily conversations about ‘what’s for dinner’ at Saveur, these
two have put together the modern day go-to cookbook. Brennan and
Campion hit the nail on the head, speaking in an honest and helpful
way while guiding readers through realistic expectations of
weeknight planning and cooking. Anyone from those just starting to
cook for themselves to newlyweds trying to find their culinary
voice to mothers in a food rut will find Keepers a real
keeper.”—Dorothy Cann Hamilton, Founder & CEO, The International
Culinary Center
“Do you need another book claiming to offer quick weeknight
dinners? Well, you need this one. Keepers is highly focused—it’s
dinner and dinner only, and not one of its recipes will set you
back more than 45 minutes. At the same time, these two former
Saveur editors make no compromises on taste or quality.”—NPR, Best
Cookbooks of the Year
“I’ve been flipping through Brennan and Campion’s great new
not-too-fussy Keepers for out-of-the-box options. Tomato and
Zucchini Gratin looks yummy, or—ooh!—Roasted Acorn Squash with
Jalapeño-Lime Butter. . . . I might just have to try
both.”—People
“The best cookbook you’ve read all year.”—Joanna Goddard, Cup of
Jo
“Kathy and Caroline have filled Keepers with practical advice on
everything from meal planning (when was the last time a cookbook
reminded you to breathe?) to shopping with kids (don’t worry, it’s
awful for them, too). They even give suggestions for families at
different stages or with kids of different ages. But my favorite
section is ‘Lifesavers,’ which is filled with versatile sauces—aka
flavor bombs—that can be made ahead, kept in the fridge for up to a
week, and make almost anything taste better. Genius.”—Cool Mom
Picks
“Along with pantry-stocking tips, weekly meal-planning guides, and
essential tool checklists, they share recipes, which are, with no
surprise because of the title of the book, keepers. These recipes
are trusted family and personal recipes, infused with years of
experience working in the culinary industry—and later the
motherhood industry, too. They’re not just delicious, but they're
also tested and proved to be easy and indispensable dishes for you
to add to your recipe box, making them perfect for a weeknight
meal.”—The Daily Meal
