EAT BETTER

LOW-TECH For anyone who has ever opened up a recipe book, been overwhelmed by the Kanye-rant-length list of ingredients and decided to order in instead, we present Cookbook in the World Simple: The Easiest

($24, at chapters.indigo.ca). This “simple” tome has taken France by storm, seducing that nation of gourmands with its no-BS selection of recipes—from saffron risotto to roast lamb—all presented with minimal ingredients and steps. It’s not pretty, but it takes the intimidation factor way down, and, seriously, you’re more likely to cook from scratch when that chicken dish takes four steps, has three ingredients and doesn’t ask you to do anything with a spiralizer, no?
