In her bestselling debut cookbook, Cook This Book , Molly Baz taught the cooking essentials and put her love for mortadella and dill on blast. In More Is More , she’s teaching cooks how to level up their cooking, loosen up in front of that ripping hot pan, and seek deliciousness at all costs. (And yes, there will be more mortadella.) More Is More is a philosophy that encourages more risk-taking, better intuition, fewer exact measurements, and a “don’t stop ‘til it tastes delicious” mentality. The recipes in More Is More are fit for any day of the week and for cooks of all skill levels. Each recipe will teach a technique or flavor combination that takes Molly’s maximalist, “leave no flavor on the cutting board” approach. So crank your ovens! Grab a fat pinch of salt! And if you’re going to use an ingredient, truly use it. Just one lonely clove of garlic? Not in this cookbook! Start your morning with a Crispy Rice Egg-in-a-Hole , throw together a Chicken Salad with Coconut Crunch for lunch, look forward to Drunken Cacio e Pepe for dinner, and save room for a fat slice of Ooey Gooey Carrot Cake for dessert. The Only Meatloaf that Matters will teach you the power of re-frying, while Miso-Braised Chicken and Leeks will ensure you never throw away the green tops of the leeks again. Throughout, you’ll encounter dozens of QR codes to step-by-step audio tutorials for a hands-free cook-along experience guided by Molly, plus recipe videos to help illuminate some of the trickier skills and recipes. With intoxicatingly delicious recipes, vivid photographs, and Molly's one-of-a-kind playful guidance and whimsy, More Is More will inspire cooks to embrace a fearless mindset to level up their cooking—for life. Review: Flavor-packed and accessible recipes - This book delivers. It is structured sensibly, with categories for Snacks, Salad, Carbs, Surf & Turf, Chicken, Veg, Sandos (sandwiches), Breakfast, and Sweets. The ingredient lists are broken down by category, making it easy to identify the produce, dairy, protein, and pantry ingredients you need to assemble, and ingredient prep is thankfully built into the recipe directions, rather than the ingredient lists, so there's no time wasted as you cook. The recipes are mouth watering and have relatively short but impactful ingredient lists, and are written in an accessible voice that helps the reader learn why certain choices were made. For example, the recipe for "Shells, peas & buttermilk" instructs: "Stir in a small handful of grated pecorino—this isn't a cheese sauce, so don't go too crazy here. We want to really taste the peas and mint—the cheese is there more as seasoning. The sauce should still be quite loose and brothy." These small notes help the home cook understand what the final outcome should look and taste like, beyond just the ingredient list and measurements. And the videos and audio cook-along notes are an entertaining addition that make you feel like you have Molly cooking alongside you in your kitchen—definitely an innovation over the many other cookbooks I own. As Molly notes in the foreword, the recipes are all purposefully balanced with hits of fat, acid, and (for some) spice. Most of the recipes are not exactly healthy—many call for butter, cheese, heavy cream, and/or oil—but after cooking a few recipes already, I can say that these ingredients pay off in the final product. There are a large volume of recipes in this book, which I prefer over more minimal books—you'll probably find something that sounds good to you. Recipes that stood out to me include Sizzled [store-bought] Dolmas with Yogurt and Brown-Buttered Pine Nuts; Sizzled Seedy Tomato Salad; Marinated Zucch & Mozz with Fried Sunflower Seeds; Drunken Cacio e Pepe; Grandma Pizza with Morty-D & Peperoncini Pesto [using store-bought pizza dough]; Broken Noodle Bolognese; Rigatoni with Creamed Leeks & Chive Bread Crumbs; Crispy Orecchiette with Spicy Sausage & Collard Ragu; Tangled Leek Pizza; Rarebit Mac 'n' Greens [why does a rarebit mac & cheese not exist already? brilliant]; Skirt Steak with Juicy Tomatoes & Salsa Macha; Crispy Salmon with Coconut Rice & Crackle Sauce; Hot Sauce-Braised Short Ribs with Winter Squash; Miso-Braised Chicken & Leeks; Chile-Braised Half Chicken with Caper Chimichurri; One Pot Chicken Mujadara; Curried Lentil & Sweet Potato Pot Pie; Spicy Green Fregola with Spicy Yogurt; Dilly Beans [canned white beans] & Burrata with Frizzled Shallots; Spicy Coconut-Smothered Green Beans; Sunken Drunken Apple Cake; Black Sesame Rice Pudding Brulee; Maple Ricotta Munchkins; Baklava Ruffle Pie... I could go on. IMO this book is an improvement over Cook This Book, which featured good basic recipes but fewer innovative flavor combinations. I have fairly specific standards for recipes I actually want to cook—they should be doable within 30-60 minutes, include mostly ingredients I already have on hand, and promise better flavors than I could come up with myself—and nearly every page in my copy is dog-eared, which says a lot. A minor note: The serif retro header font is difficult to read, the font size of the recipe text is small, and the page margins should be larger. But it's worth breaking out your readers. Review: From Boozy Pasta to Epic Meatloaf — A Hit! - This was the fifth cookbook we made in our cooking club, and I would say it has been my favorite (and the most fun) so far. Every recipe felt exciting and came with Molly’s playful twist on classics. We cooked a full menu: the zucchini and mozzarella salad was fresh and flavorful, though zucchini can sometimes turn out a bit too soft or watery in texture. The Drunken Cacio e Pepe was creamy, delicious, and definitely on the boozy side! The meatloaf was an absolute hit, flavorful, juicy, and one of the favorites at the table. The chile-basted chicken was tasty, though a little too spicy for me. The clams with chili crisp and tofu were another flavorful surprise, while the cornbread was soft and comforting. One standout is that Molly reinvents classics like meatloaf or cornbread in ways that feel new but still approachable. The spicy coconut-smothered green beans were so good I’ve already made them twice, once for my family, who were hesitant about the coconut, but ended up loving them. Overall, this book delivers recipes that are exciting, delicious, and perfect for cooking with friends. For me, it’s a 20/10. Highly recommended. *Español* Este fue el quinto libro que hicimos en nuestro club de cocina, y diría que ha sido mi favorito (y el más divertido) hasta ahora. Cada receta resultó emocionante y con el giro creativo de Molly sobre los clásicos. Preparamos un menú completo: la ensalada de zucchini y mozzarella estuvo fresca y sabrosa, aunque el zucchini a veces queda con una textura un poco demasiado suave o aguada. El Drunken Cacio e Pepe fue cremoso, delicioso y bastante boozy. El meatloaf fue un éxito rotundo, jugoso, lleno de sabor y de los favoritos en la mesa. El pollo con chile estuvo rico, aunque para mí un poco muy picante. Las almejas con chili crisp y tofu fueron otra sorpresa llena de sabor, y el pan de maíz quedó suave y reconfortante. Lo mejor es cómo Molly reinventa clásicos como el meatloaf o el cornbread, haciéndolos nuevos pero aún accesibles. Los green beans con coco picante fueron tan buenos que ya los he hecho dos veces, la primera para mi familia, que al principio dudaba del coco, pero al final les encantó. En general, este libro ofrece recetas emocionantes, deliciosas y perfectas para cocinar en grupo. Para mí, es un 20/10. Muy recomendado. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #22,931 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #77 in Cooking Encyclopedias #90 in Cooking, Food & Wine Reference (Books) #113 in Cooking for One or Two | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 584 Reviews | ## Images ![More Is More: Get Loose in the Kitchen: A Cookbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XxWXUkQbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flavor-packed and accessible recipes *by H***7 on October 17, 2023* This book delivers.

So far I’ve made the marinated zucchini, drunken cacio e pepe, shells peas and buttermilk, meatloaf, italian sandwich, tahini date shake, and the best cookies ever - the pistachio brown butter halva chocolate chunk cookies (a mouthful). Everything has been delicious and is on my re-make list. Some highlights on my very long want-to-make list are her meatballs, broken noodle bolognese, chicken salad w coconut crunch & miso braised chicken. Pros: - Fun, creative recipes - Recipes are written in a way that’s approachable and doable - helps build up my confidence and encourages me to try new things. Plus I know I can trust that the recipes are well thought and will work out - Recipe pairing suggestions - this is a huge help for me personally and I’m already eating more veggies thanks to it - Molly is very talented at creating a ton of flavor from a relatively short ingredient list - The book has QR codes for audio and video follow alongs! Cons: - The header font can be hard to read, but the recipes themselves are readable - The abbreviations can be a bit much at times, sure, but they’re just in the titles/descriptions, not the recipes themselves. Not a big detractor for me I’ve seen some complaints that there are too many recipes from The Club. If the book had a bunch of recipes from a free site, I can see the argument for being mad about it. But there are only around a dozen recipes from The ($5/month) Club and if anything, I was happy they were printed in the book because I can now cancel my Club membership - was holding onto it because I didn’t want to lose some of my go-tos. Molly has helped me gain confidence in the kitchen and become a more effective and efficient cook. Everything I’ve made from More is More has been fantastic so far and I’m super pumped to continue cooking through it! ## Frequently Bought Together - More Is More: Get Loose in the Kitchen: A Cookbook - Cook This Book: Techniques That Teach and Recipes to Repeat: A Cookbook - The Wishbone Kitchen Cookbook: Seasonal Recipes for Everyday Luxury and Elevated Entertaining --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/514996397-more-is-more-get-loose-in-the-kitchen-a-cookbook](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/514996397-more-is-more-get-loose-in-the-kitchen-a-cookbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
