Cookbook Review: That Sounds So Good

By: Hannah Lee Leidy

As a longtime home cook who tackles the weeknights with stir frys and one-pot pastas and spends the weekend on slow-simmering projects, I was anxious to get my hands on Carla Lalli Music’s latest book That Sounds So Good: 100 Real-Life Recipes for Every Day of the Week. 

While other cookbooks tend to be organized by season, dish type, or ingredient, Music arranges this one in a way that makes sense to my style of cooking: “Monday through Thursday,” with stovetop suppers and big salads, and “Friday through the Weekend,” with lazy lunches, grilling, and Sunday soups, stews, and sauces. It helps me answer the questions: What am I whipping together on a Tuesday night, and then what am I looking forward to lingering over on Sunday?

Her contributions have appeared in Condé Nast Traveler, Bon Appétit, Epicurious, Culture, and Eater. She’s spent time working in restaurants in both front and back of house positions, doing everything from burning gateaux to expediting to shaking a Manhattan (don’t worry, this only happened once).

When not parenting a Bernese mountain pup named Ava, you’ll find her running or working on her lamination technique.
