Knife Drop by Nick DiGiovanni is a revolutionary cookbook that breaks free from conventional culinary rules and invites you to embrace cooking with creativity and confidence. This debut cookbook from the charismatic chef and social media sensation promises to transform the way you approach home-cooked meals, making them simpler, more exciting, and absolutely delicious.

Nick DiGiovanni equips you with the essential tools and techniques needed to become fearless in the kitchen. Starting with foundational recipes such as basic pasta dough and homemade butter, he guides you through a delectable collection of his favourite dishes. Satisfy your appetite with New England classics like Browned Butter Lobster Rolls and Garlic Butter Steak Tips. Indulge in rich pasta creations like Smoky Mezcal Rigatoni and Sungold Spaghetti. And for a touch of fun, whip up viral hits such as Pasta Chips and Dino Nuggets, which have taken social media by storm.

This cookbook isn't just about recipes. Knife Drop incorporates expert advice on equipment, ingredients, and techniques. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned cook, you'll find invaluable tips to refine your skills. The inclusion of collaborations with famous friends like Andrew Zimmern, Robert Irvine, Joanne Chang, and Lynja adds a unique twist, bringing varied flavours and styles to your kitchen.

One of the standout features of Knife Drop is its incorporation of technology to enhance your culinary journey. A library of QR codes links you directly to video tutorials where Nick demonstrates key techniques, from holding a chef's knife correctly to making a piping bag, and even pronouncing "gnocchi" the right way. These tutorials are perfect for visual learners and add a dynamic, interactive element to your cooking experience.

Knife Drop is more than just a cookbook; it's a gateway to a new era of home cooking where the only rule is to enjoy the process. With Nick DiGiovanni's vibrant personality and practical approach, you'll be inspired to experiment, have fun, and most importantly, just cook!
