"Most cookbooks are organized by category of food. Sides and salads; rice and noodles; snacks; main courses; and dessert. In her debut cookbook, "Maxi's Kitchen: Easy Go-To Recipes to Make Again and Again," writer and food content creator Maxine Sharf takes a different approach to meal planning. The chapters are organized by day of the week, with an additional section at the end for simple sides to pair with whatever you're making."
"Now Sharf has millions of followers on Instagram, Youtube and TikTok, where she shares recipes for everything from her spaghetti aglio e olio to grilled cheese sandwiches and pork wontons. Sharf brings an easygoing warmth to whatever she's cooking, with a laid-back confidence that invites viewers of all skill levels into the kitchen. Whatever she's making, you can do it too."
Recipes are organized by day of the week, moving from minimal-ingredient, low-prep meals earlier in the week to more elaborate projects later on. A final section compiles simple sides designed to pair with the main recipes. Monday emphasizes quick, healthy dinners that require little time or fuss. Tuesday features family-style comfort dishes such as a skillet chicken pot pie and a grandfather's jjigae. Later-week entries include richer, indulgent recipes like four-cheese mac and cheese and Benihana-style chicken fried rice. The collection also includes simple staples such as spaghetti aglio e olio, grilled cheese, and pork wontons.
