Book SynopsisWith Think Like a Chef, Tom Colicchio has created a new kind of cookbook. Rather than list a series of restaurant recipes, he uses simple steps to deconstruct a chef's creative process, making it easily available to any home cook.He starts with techniques: What's roasting, for example, and how do you do it in the oven or on top of the stove? He also gets you comfortable with braising, sautéing, and making stocks and sauces. Next he introduces simple 'ingredients' -- roasted tomatoes, say, or braised artichokes -- and tells you how to use them in a variety of ways. So those easy roasted tomatoes may be turned into anything from a vinaigrette to a caramelized tomato tart, with many delicious options in between.In a section called Trilogies, Tom takes three ingredients and puts them together to make one dish that's quick and other dishes that are increasingly more involved. As Tom says, 'Juxtaposed in interesting ways, these ingredients prove that the whole can

Book SynopsisAfter a long day spent in one of his restaurants or taping a television show, what Bobby Flay craves more than anything else is … a crusty-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside burger; a fistful of golden, crisp, salty fries; and a thick, icy milkshake. Given the grilling guru’s affinity for bold flavors and signature twists on American favorites, it’s no surprise that he has crafted the tastiest recipes ever for this ultimate food trio.Though he doesn’t believe in messing with delicious certified Angus chuck (just salt and pepper on the patty-no “meatloaf” burgers here), Bobby loves adding flavorful relishes and condiments to elevate the classic burger. Once you’ve learned what goes into making that burger (from how to shape it so it cooks up perfectly to melting the cheese just so), go to town with Bobby''s favorite combinations of additions. Try the Cheyenne Burger, which gets slathered with homemade barbecue sauce and then piled high

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis book had me at homemade corn dogs. Give me a nostalgic and bready comfort food that serves a crowd, and I'm yours forever. I love this cookbook—it's both refreshing and real life. Through the stories and recipes that fill its pages, Jen reminds us that feeding the people we love shouldn't be one more thing to perfect or overdo. It's the food itself and the connection it creates that far outlasts what's on the menu. This book is just another extension of all the beautiful ways Jen shares her heart through her story, laughter, and now—luck for us—delicious recipes. — Joanna Gaines, co-founder, Magnolia Jen's a real-life mom, a fantastic home cook, and a delightfully hilarious writer, so I already knew I was going to love her cookbook. But let me tell you... I didn't expect to fall in love with it the way I did! In a word: WOW. Every page is so bright and fun, so original and fresh, and the way she categorizes her delicious recipes is both clever and approachable. This cookbook is a serious treasure—a gift to anyone who has people to feed! — Ree Drummond, New York Times bestselling author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks Feed These People reads like an invitation to Jen Hatmaker's front porch—cozy, dishy, and full of spice. Just when I think we're settling into truck stop grub (Fried mozzarella sticks! Avocado tacos!) she flips to vacation Bible school (Mushroom and Gruyère tartine! Honey mustard pecan-crusted salmon)—either way I'm singing hymns of praise and tying on my apron. — Jennifer Garner, actor, food lover, home cook First of all, I love a home cook! I am one and I learned from the best, my mom, Gwen. Second, the food looks amazing, and I can't wait to dive in! Last and most important, I love the whole vibe of this family: the love, the laughter, the lessons, the honesty. It's a beautiful, real, snapshot into my friend Jen Hatmaker's life. Like the perfect dinner, you'll show up for the food, and you'll stay for the stories. Thanks for inviting me. Love, Trisha. — Trisha Yearwood, country music legend, host of Trisha’s Southern Kitchen, and five-time cookbook author Feed These People puts people first, and then gives them a fantastic meal—and I'm 100% here for it! Jen celebrates the people around our tables. Trust me, you want Jen's cookbook! — Melissa d'Arabian, author of Tasting Grace I'm in love with Jen's no-fuss, stress-free, and big-flavor approach to feeding her loved ones.

But more important, I echo Jen's heart and how it is filled by feeding the people she loves around her table. — Danielle Walker, bestselling cookbook author and wellness expert Feed These People is for all of us scattered, hungry home cooks doing our best to trick the ones we love into thinking we're wizards in the kitchen. Jen makes us believe we really can do this and gives us the plan. Cackling and connecting and leaving the dishes until morning—this cookbook is a national treasure. I can't wait to make a mess of my copy. — Shannan Martin, author of Starts with Hello and The Ministry of Ordinary Places Finally, a cookbook for normals! The recipes are for people craving repeat-worthy, flavor-packed, very extra (without being fussy) meals. So basically, this is a book of magic. Cooking magic!

Feed These People has a permanent spot in my kitchen, it is my new go-to book of foods and flavors.

I can’t wait to make Ronnie’s Hawaiian Chicken Vermicelli Bowl, by request of my husband. We are both huge fans. His food is outrageous. But more important, he’s just fun to be around. Let me quote him, ‘You know when your mind is telling you to eat a salad and your body is begging you for some carbs? Well, that’s me every day, but luckily, I am a genius and I found the perfect solution.’ HA! I love this guy and I love his food.” — Rachael Ray “Did You Eat Yet? has everything that I love about Ronnie in one book.

I love this book!” — Justin Chapple, culinary director-at- large of Food & Wine and author of Just Cook It “Although Ronnie Woo is unquestionably proud of his Asian heritage, his cooking inspiration includes just about every other continent too. In lieu of bacon to go with his eggs, he turns a chunk of pork butt into a version of Chinese barbecued pork, char siu. Woo’s remarkable recipes have some healthy options, particularly some entree-worthy salads... Woo’s enthusiasm bubbles in every recipe’s description, and photos add to the book’s festive approach to cooking.” — Booklist “The former model and TV chef personality is dropping his most "craveable" recipes. His debut cookbook, out March 14, features over 100 recipes that celebrate American Asian-inspired dishes. From a "big ass buttermilk cinnamon roll" to gochujang grilled skirt steak, his tasty creations are cheeky and full of heart all at once.” — People “Woo is bringing his signature lighthearted, cheeky tone to his new cookbook, "Did You Eat Yet?"

Book SynopsisNow, in his inimitable style, Henry Hill tells some spicy stories of his life in the Mob and shows you how to whip up his favorite dishes, Sicilian style—even when you’re cooking on the run. Learn delicious recipes that make even the toughest tough guy beg for more…Henry Hill was a born wiseguy. At the pizzeria where he worked as a kid, he learned to substitute pork for veal in cutlets—which came in handy later when the bankroll was low. At thirteen, he got his first percentage from a local deli—that lost business when he started supplying the neighborhood wiseguys with his own heroes. And what great heroes they were.Once he entered Witness Protection, though, Hill found himself in places where prosciutto was impossible to get and gravy was something you put on mashed potatoes. So he learned to fake it when necessary (for example, Romano with white pepper took the place of real pecorino-siciliano cheese), and wherever he found himself, Hill managed to keep good Italian food on the table. He still brings this flair for improvisation to his cooking. No recipe is set in stone. And substitutions are listed in case you need them for these recipes and many more:Mom’s Antipasto • Sunday Gravy (Meat Sauce) • Cheater’s Chicken Stock • Striped Bass for Paulie • Fat Larry’s Pizza Dough • Henry’s Kickback Antipasti Hero • Sicilian Easter Bread with Colored Eggs • Clams Casino • Osso Buco • Oven Penitentiary Sauce with Sausage • Michael’s Favorite Ziti with Meat Sauce
