Cooking at Home by David Chang
NEW YORK TIMES>BESTSELER - The founder of Momofuku cooks at home . . . and that means mostly ignoring recipes, using tools like the microwave, and taking inspiration from his mom to get a great dinner done fast. JAMES BEARD AWARD NOMINE - ONE OF THE BEST COKBOKS OF THE YEAR: New York Post, Taste of HomeDavid Chang came up as a chef in kitchens where you had to do everything the hard way. But his mother, one of the best cooks he knows, never cooked like that. Nor did food writer Priya Krishna's mom. So Dave and Priya set out to think through the smartest, fastest, least meticulous, most delicious, absolutely imperfect ways to cook. From figuring out the best ways to use frozen vegetables to learning when to ditch recipes and just taste and adjust your way to a terrific meal no matter what, this is Dave's guide to substituting, adapting, shortcutting, and sandbagging--like parcooking chicken in a microwave before blasting it with flavor in a four-minute stir-fry or a ten-minute stew. It's all about how to think like a chef . . . who's learned to stop thinking like a chef.
