Learn how to make restaurant-quality dishes at home with Nothing Matters...but Delicious, an accessible, achievable, and delicious collection of 75 recipes from the award-winning chef and owner of Olmsted, Patti Ann's, and Five Acres. Much of the fancy technique you see at restaurants doesn't really matter. You can get the nearly same effect with infinitely less work, and it's more fun and you might actually do it. Many of tropes of fine dining cookbook recipes-the hyperspecificity, the rigidity of the recipes-they don't matter either. Nothing Matters...but Delicious. In this cookbook-like-no-other, award-winning chef and restaurateur Greg Baxtrom invites you into his energetic kitchen, sharing his honest and encouraging methodologies for exquisite dishes. Nothing Matters...but Delicious gives home cooks of all abilities the confidence and techniques to never quit on their culinary journey. Filled with sidebars containing helpful tips and lessons, like how to recover from cooking mistakes, and photographs and infographics to assist you every step of the way, readers will delight in this guide to culinary perfection. Recipes flow from easy to complex, with beginner recipes like Simple Ribeye with Roasted Root Vegetables and Easy Peasy Mac & Cheesy to the more complicated Bouillabaisse and Indoor S'more. With a slew of broken-down tips and easy-to-digest guidance, Nothing Matters...but Delicious has something for everyone.
