THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY TASTE OF HOME

If you’re passionate about food, whether you're a seasoned home cook or a complete novice, Cook This Book by Molly Baz will introduce you to a world of flavour, creativity, and efficiency. This thoroughly modern guide redefines home cooking by breaking down culinary techniques into easy-to-follow steps and engaging recipes.

Molly Baz, a celebrated chef known for her bright, bold dishes and unfussy approach, creates a playful yet educational cookbook that demystifies the art of cooking. She provides you with an arsenal of approachable recipes designed to maximise flavour with minimal effort. Dishes like Pastrami Roast Chicken with Schmaltzy Onions and Dill, Chorizo and Chickpea Carbonara, and her now-iconic Cae Sal (Caesar Salad) will make you realise that restaurant-quality food is achievable at home.

But Cook This Book is more than just a collection of recipes. Molly's aim is to equip you with the confidence and skills to improvise in the kitchen. Each recipe is designed to teach you crucial cooking techniques. Throughout the book, you will find visually compelling lessons on important topics like the role of salt, balancing flavours, and the principles of food pairing. This invaluable knowledge will empower you to create delicious meals with whatever ingredients you have on hand.

To further bridge the gap between the cookbook and the kitchen, Molly has incorporated dozens of QR codes into the pages. These can be scanned with your smartphone to access short, technique-driven videos. Hosted by Molly herself, these videos offer visual guidance on some of the trickier skills, ensuring you’re never left scratching your head over a step in the process.

Molly’s philosophy is simple: cooking should be fun and enjoyable, not a chore. As she puts it, 'Cooking is really fun, I swear. You simply need to set yourself up for success to truly enjoy it.' With Cook This Book, you’ll be guided every step of the way towards becoming a more confident and creative cook. It’s an inspiring resource that promises to bring unbridled joy and delicious home-cooked meals to your table.

Get ready to transform your culinary skills and discover the joy of cooking with Cook This Book.
