How To Cook Everything (John Wiley & Sons, 1998, {{ISBN|0-02-861010-5}}) is a general cooking reference written by New York Times food writer Mark Bittman and aimed at United States home cooks. It is the flagship volume of a series of books that include several narrow-subject books about matters such as convenience cooking and vegetarian cuisine, as well as a second volume, How To Cook Everything: Vegetarian, published in 2007, and a second edition with a reduced emphasis on professional techniques in October 2008. A smartphone app for iPhone, iPad, and Windows supports that second book by making all its recipes available portably.{{Cite web |url=http://markbittman.com/app/vegetarian-how-to-cook-everything-app-for-iphone-and-ipad/ |title=How to Cook Everything Vegetarian smartphone app |access-date=2017-11-08 |archive-date=2017-11-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171109081000/http://markbittman.com/app/vegetarian-how-to-cook-everything-app-for-iphone-and-ipad/ |url-status=live }}
