"Unorthodox cooking hacks . . . This enjoyable shake-up of kitchen standards is full of what are bound to become new mealtime favorites." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Kelly Senyei, founder of the food site Just a Taste, has garnered millions of fans with a delicious hook—every one of her recipes has a secret ingredient, something totally unexpected that takes a dish from common to extraordinary. Some of the 125 tried-and-tested recipes are surprisingly simple, like her Vanilla Bean Drop Doughnuts made with Greek yogurt, or the Sweet and Tangy Baked Chicken Wings made with blackberry jam. Other recipes are nothing short of genius, such as the Kale Panzanella made with croissants, the Healthy White Chicken Chili made with hummus, or the Crispy Slow Cooker Carnitas made with cocoa powder. And just because the secret ingredients are surprising doesn't mean they're expensive or hard to find, either. Kelly is a busy mother of two, and she made sure every ingredient can be found in any supermarket. Her family-friendly recipes cover every occasion, from crowd-pleasing snacks and 30-minute entrées to make-ahead sides and holiday-worthy desserts.
"Kelly Senyei has hit the nail on the head: Her book is full of delicious recipes that are both upgraded and familiar. The secret ingredients Kelly incorporates in her everyday recipes—like ginger ale in homemade waffles—are simple but wonderfully surprising. I love this book!" —Justin Chapple, culinary director-at-large, Food & Wine
"Brilliant! Kelly Senyei's 'secret ingredient' additions are so clever and easy, they will leave you smiling and wondering, 'Why didn't I think of that?'" —Elise Bauer, founder, Simply Recipes

      Starred review from April 5, 2021
      Chef and Just a Taste blogger Senyei delivers a dynamic debut collection of family-friendly recipes, each of which features a “secret ingredient.” From simple cocktails to quick pastas, Senyei employs often surprising substitutions—such as swapping out breadcrumbs for graham crackers or using cottage cheese as a smoothie protein—to elevate her 125 offerings. She’s careful to note her modifications aren’t chosen willy-nilly; each has been selected to enhance a recipe’s flavors, rather than just adding novelty. After sharing her sometimes unorthodox cooking hacks (“the best place to proof dough: your dryer!”), Senyei dives into a delightful mix of recipes. Among the many standouts are her breakfast options, including egg sandwiches topped with strawberry jam, and pumpkin waffles with ginger ale stirred in for a “light, crispy texture.” Among the snacks are queso with sweet potato for a “touch of sweetness,” while the mains include a tempting dish of scallops with pineapple risotto. Senyei promises that none of her secret ingredients are hard to find—and she mostly delivers. This enjoyable shake-up of kitchen standards is full of what are bound to become new mealtime favorites.
