OrangeReviewStarSophisticated sides abound in this stunning debut cookbook from food writer and former corporate lawyer Smith. They're incredibly easy to browse and select thanks to abundant cross-references and "recipe directories" addressing key questions: What's your main dish? Where is the side dish prepared? How long does it take to make? If you're making roast beef, you'll immediately find 22 stellar accompaniments to elevate it, including butter-glazed turnips with horseradish, cauliflower cheese, and watercress with pickled walnuts. This is a UK title, so be ready for metric measurements and some potentially unfamiliar terms.
VERDICT Pair this with Tara Mataraza Desmond's Choosing Sides and you'll be well equipped to accessorize any meal.
