Matt’s superpower is making things easy, not just making them look easy. Drawing inspiration from the Texas border to Asia and back again, he gives home cooks of all levels weeknight-friendly recipes with punch that can be made efficiently:
- Warm Lacinato Kale Caesar with Crispy Chickpeas
- Spicy Cold Korean Noodles
- The Creamiest, Cheesiest Mac and Cheese
- Grilled Korean Short Ribs
- OG Beef Birria
- Cold Corn Soup
- Butter-Basted Steak
- Charred Broccolini with Cotija Dressing
- Crispy Salmon with Toasted Miso Corn
- Spatchcocked Roast Chicken with Hasselback Potatoes
- Tender Biscuits with Honey Butter
- Farro Risotto with Roasted Mushrooms and Squash
- Chai Flan
Here, too, Matt shares the best tricks he’s learned in his grandma’s kitchen and top restaurants where Matt broke out in Seattle’s electric dining scene.
Anyone can do this, and Matt makes you want to learn.
