Adrianna Adarme
The mastermind behind A Cozy Kitchen presents 100 easy, approachable recipes for quick weeknight meals, Peruvian and Colombian family favorites, and comforting baked goods—all using common ingredients and uncomplicated techniques.
“With a distinct cozy approach to flavor and feeling, Adrianna seems to know exactly what you’re craving before you even do.”—Hailee Catalano, New York Times bestselling author of By Heart
To Adrianna Adarme of A Cozy Kitchen, “cozy” isn’t just about comfort—though, yes, comfort is very much invited. It’s also about ease, intention, and beauty. Cozy is food that tastes good, looks good, and makes you want to tie on an apron even when you’re still wearing your pajamas.
A Cozy Kitchen Cookbook is a celebration of mood-based cooking. Of cozy cravings. Of trusting yourself enough to say: “What do I actually want to eat right now?” and then making it happen without any stress. Whether you’re in lazy mode, party mode, I-just-need-to-get-dinner-on-the-table mode, or all three in the same week, the 100 recipes in this book contain the solution.
Each chapter sets a vibe and a pace. Some recipes are slow and meandering, like The Fluffiest Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing—perfect for when you want to lose track of time and end up with a kitchen full of warmth and sugar. Others are built for speed and ease, like the One-Pan Shrimp Orzo, which exists for those weeknights when your brain is a little fried but you still want something that tastes like you tried. Drawing from her Peruvian and Colombian heritage, Adrianna also includes traditional staples like Saucy Beef Empanadas and Aguadito (aka Peruvian Chicken Soup) which feel like a love letter directly from her family's recipe collection.
There’s no one way to get cozy. Some days, it’s about standing at the stove while something bubbles away and makes your whole home smell like comfort. Other days, it’s assembling something unfussy and eating it cross-legged on the couch. Regardless of mood, A Cozy Kitchen Cookbook will leave you feeling nourished, grounded, and a little more at home with yourself.
