Cooking at Home: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying About Recipes (And Love My Microwave)
by David Chang , Priya Krishna




This isn’t set up like most cookbooks course or even some by season.  This is set up taking an item and then showing what a few changes to it can make several different meals based on different cultures.  There is a lot of back and forth from both writer in the book and there is also reference titles they give of you want to learn more in-depth about certain dishes and other dishes from that culture.  This is much more of a cook at home book and a discussion of home cooking than “Let’s do recipes from my restaurant”.   I was reviewing a digital copy of the book but I do want to look at the final version because I think some stuff will be different.  This book feels like it is geared to someone who wants to be more adventurous in the kitchen but is a bit hesitant about playing with flavors. It feels more like an intermediate book, something for someone that is used to cooking a few things but is ready to take the next step in the kitchen.
