Great Just Great
I am about halfway through this little book and already reorganizing my kitchen mainly by collecting all alike items into one place such as all wooden breadboards, cheeseboards, wooden carving boards into one spot -- never realized how many I had but glad to have them in one cupboard rather than searching through the kitchen for the board I need. The biggest task is to organize all plastic containers and to get rid of potential harmful containers -- this was my biggest task. Next big task was gathering all baking dishes, pans, etc, to store in double cupboard all by themselves -- never knew I had so many. Did set a few aside to recycle. Pantry is next to reorg. As the title says, this is one great little book on how to organize your kitchen. Don't know how I got along without it.

Great Light Reading
I kept this in my handbag for reading when I have been waiting. Articles and some recipes for the price of a magazine.

Not a magical cure for kitchen clutter
Update: Not a helpful resource for planning a kitchen reno either.I once again pulled out this book thinking I might find some helpful ideas to use as I plan my kitchen renovation hoping that creating the potential "do-anything kitchen" in the title, but I didn't find anything that helped me do that at all.Original review:I was hoping this book would be the one to help me get my kitchen down to the essentials but, in fact, following all of the recommendations would have me buying even more things to find a place for. I guess that's the "Do Anything" part, but I don't really think "do anything" is the same for cooking professionals as for home cooks, and I was looking for something that would help me, a home cook, have a more efficient, pared-down kitchen.The featured kitchens are those of food professionals, who mostly live in New York and who are mostly testing recipes or otherwise not cooking like most people. Perhaps organizing it by type of cook might have helped. For instance, cooks who bake a lot need different things than cooks who mostly prepare family meals without doing a lot of baking. Likewise, singles and couples may not need all of the pots and pans that families do.That said, there are lots of very good tips in this book from the types of pots and pans to buy, to stocking a pantry, to keeping a kitchen properly tidy.So I do recommend this for a general kitchen overview, but not as a guide to decluttering your kitchen.Update: ...and not as a guide for renovation either :(

Not what I’d expected
It’s a high end catalog.Should have stuck to browsing online. Prices are too high for the most part, but I’ve enjoyed some of the recipes that are online.

I found this book by Food 52 very informative, so I bookmarked the pages I want to reference. It's a great little book, which I recommend.

Really great ideas that I kind of already knew but haven’t implemented fully. Like it very much

I have no idea who would benefit from this book.
Bought this as a part of a gift and did not use it - it is a joke of a book. Really small, and if you have any experience in the kitchen, a total waste of money .
