COOK THIS BOOK

Molly Baz

Techniques That Teach & Recipes to Repeat

In this foundational cookbook, Bon Appétit star Molly Baz breaks the essentials of cooking down to its most basic parts by creating clear and uncomplicated recipes that deliver big flavor with little effort.
Dining In by Alison Roman meets How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittmann in this thoroughly modern guide to becoming a smarter, faster, more creative cook from Bon Appétit star Molly Baz, featuring fun, flavorful recipes anyone can make. Molly is one of the go-to cooking voices for millennials. From her work and video series at Bon Appétit, she has a cult following on YouTube (views averaging 1.5 to 3m per video) and Instagram (313k followers).

For those who seek out, celebrate, and obsess over good food but lack the skills and confidence necessary to make it at home, this book is a ticket to a life filled with supreme deliciousness. COOK THIS BOOK is a new kind of foundational cookbook from Molly Baz, who's here to teach readers absolutely everything she knows and equip them with the tools to become a better, more efficient cook.

Molly breaks the essentials of cooking down to clear and uncomplicated recipes that deliver big flavor with little effort and a side of education, including dishes like Pastrami Roast Chicken with Schmaltzy Onions and Dill, Chorizo and Chickpea Carbonara, and of course, her signature Cae Sal. But this is not your average cookbook. More than a collection of recipes, COOK THIS BOOK teaches readers the invaluable superpower of improvisation though visually compelling lessons on such topics as the importance of salt and how to balance flavor, giving you all the tools necessary to make food taste great every time. Unlike most cookbooks, Molly begins each recipe with prep instructions so home cooks learn how to be as efficient as possible (I don't know about you, but I've been waiting for years for a cookbook that includes prep in the instructions!).

The book rethinks the classic cookbook format and includes features that appeal to the millennial audience: a unique recipe format focused on technique and featuring ingredients broken down by category; QR codes that link to technique videos by Molly that help illuminate some of the trickier skills; and vibrant, bold photography from Peden + Munk, who have shot hugely successful campaigns for the likes of Apple, Vogue, Goop, Kellogg's, and more.

As Molly says, "Cooking is really fun, I swear. You simply need to set yourself up for success to truly enjoy it." COOK THIS BOOK will help you do just that, inspiring a new generation to find joy in the kitchen and take pride in putting a home-cooked meal on the table, all with the unbridled fun and spirit that only Molly could inspire.

Molly Baz is Senior Food Editor at Bon Appétit. She develops recipes that run in the print magazine and online, appears as talent in several of the brand's YouTube series, and contributes to the Bon Appétit Foodcast.
