NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A thoroughly modern guide to becoming a
better, faster, more creative cook, featuring fun, flavorful recipes
anyone can make.
ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR, Food52, Taste of Home
"Surprising no one, Molly has written a book as smart, stylish, and
entertaining as she is."--Carla Lalli Music, author of Where Cooking
Begins
If you seek out, celebrate, and obsess over good food but lack the
skills and confidence necessary to make it at home, you've just won a
ticket to a life filled with supreme deliciousness. Cook This Book is
a new kind of foundational cookbook from Molly Baz, who's here to teach
you absolutely everything she knows and equip you with the tools to
become a better, more efficient cook.
Molly breaks the essentials of cooking down to clear and uncomplicated
recipes that deliver big flavor with little effort and a side of
education, including dishes like Pastrami Roast Chicken with Schmaltzy
Onions and Dill, Chorizo and Chickpea Carbonara, and of course, her
signature Cae Sal. But this is not your average cookbook. More than a
collection of recipes, Cook This Book teaches you the invaluable
superpower of improvisation though visually compelling lessons on such
topics as the importance of salt and how to balance flavor, giving you
all the tools necessary to make food taste great every time. Throughout,
you'll encounter dozens of QR codes, accessed through the camera app on
your smartphone, that link to short technique-driven videos hosted by
Molly to help illuminate some of the trickier skills.
As Molly says, "Cooking is really fun, I swear. You simply need to set
yourself up for success to truly enjoy it." Cook This Book will help
you do just that, inspiring a new generation to find joy in the kitchen
and take pride in putting a home-cooked meal on the table, all with the
unbridled fun and spirit that only Molly could inspire.
