Cooking well is about more than just knife skills and finding a favorite lasagna recipe. It's about knowing when to reach for a nonstick skillet and when not to, why you "reverse sear" thick chops, and what umami really is. The New Essentials Cookbook presents a new approach to building skills and gaining confidence in the kitchen with a modern lineup of 200 fresh, globally informed (but very accessible) dishes, from 100-Percent Whole-Wheat Pancakes to Butter-Based Rib-Eye Steak, from Skillet Lasagna to Olive Oil-Yogurt Cake. Each is paired with an insightful, practical lesson designed to help in your larger culinary life as you tackle all kinds of recipes--that is, to help you think like a cook.
Whether you have no cooking experience or are looking to expand your skills, there's something valuable to discover on every page. Find the must-have equipment for stocking a kitchen and staple ingredients you will rely on in A Walk Through Your Kitchen, as well as the best options for upping your game. Then hone your skills in The Simplest Way to Cook Everything, which shows how to roast a chicken, fry the perfect runny egg, and make an all-purpose herb sauce; building-block recipes you'll make again and again.
From here, chapters become (slightly) more advanced as they progress. Learn how to make bakery-style muffins, the perfect grain bowl, and a smashed Sichuan-style cucumber salad. Move on to weeknight dinners such as Shrimp Pad Thai and Black Bean Burgers. Finally, graduate to dinner party-worthy dishes like Chinese braised short ribs, seared scallops, and flourless chocolate cake. As you move through the book, you'll read about broader aspects of cooking in boxes title "Think Like a Cook" (for example, the connection between salt and moisture or how to properly soften rice noodles). And to make the process as easy as possible, every recipes is fully illustrated with photos highlighting the key steps, to ensure your creations turn out right.
