The new Milk Street 365 is amazing. It is huge!! It’s a giant collection of global recipes. Each one we tried was super flavorful with the least effort possible. Delicious minimalism. Love that! It’s the book I wish I’d been given when I was younger. Totally giftable book for the beginner and seasoned foodie alike.

I will tell you all about the dishes we tried in a minute, but first I wanted to give you a recipe to try. Vietnamese-Style Meatball Lettuce Wraps. Oh my yum!!! Outstanding. All of the flavor. All of it. They are even more delicious than they are cute. Love delicious, healthy, easy, pocket-friendly dinners and this ticks all of the boxes! The fish sauce really makes the drizzle sauce craveable.

A huge thanks to the folks at Milk Street and Voracious for letting me share this and two more upcoming recipes with you!
