Michael Symon, the grinning, shiny-pated genie of so many reality-food shows, hardly needs an introduction. This September, he returned to bookshelves with his eighth cookbook to date “Simply Symon Suppers,” coauthored by a Douglas Trattnera, which is a compendium of 165 recipes celebrating the time-honored formula of one simple main plus a couple of killer sides. The book is structured around the seasons, so in spring you’ll find Pan-Roasted Pork Chops with Spring Onion Gravy and a Shaved Spring Onion Salad, and in the summer a Grilled Lobster with Lime-Jalapeno Butter and Spicy Old Bay Corn on the Cob. For autumn, home cooks seeking a twist on the standard pumpkin pie might like his decadent Chocolate Pumpkin Pie.
