Written as a series of interconnected essays—with recipes—Relæ provides a rare glimpse into the mind of a top chef, and the opportunity to learn the language of one of the world’s most pioneering and acclaimed restaurants. Chef Christian F. Puglisi opened restaurant Relæ in 2010 on a rough, run-down stretch of one of Copenhagen’s most crime-ridden streets. His goal was simple: to serve impeccable, intelligent, sustainable, and plant-centric food of the highest quality—in a setting that was devoid of the pretention and frills of conventional high-end restaurant dining. Relæ was an immediate hit, and Puglisi’s “to the bone” ethos—which emphasized innovative, substantive cooking over crisp white tablecloths or legions of water-pouring, napkin-folding waiters—became a rallying cry for chefs around the world. Today the Jægersborggade—where Relæ and its more casual sister restaurant, Manfreds, are located—is one of Copenhagen’s most vibrant and exciting streets. And Puglisi continues to excite and surprise diners with his genre-defying, wildly inventive cooking. Relæ is Puglisi’s much-anticipated debut: like his restaurants, the book is honest, unconventional, and challenges our expectations of what a cookbook should be. Rather than focusing on recipes, the core of the book is a series of interconnected “idea essays,” which reveal the ingredients, practical techniques, and philosophies that inform Puglisi’s cooking. Each essay is connected to one (or many) of the dishes he serves, and readers are invited to flip through the book in whatever sequence inspires them—from idea to dish and back to idea again. The result is a deeply personal, utterly unique reading experience.

Cooking is a skill that can bring great pleasure and satisfaction. Yet, it's not always easy to get it right. Many people make common mistakes in the kitchen that can affect the taste, texture, and quality of their meals. These mistakes can be simple oversights, such as not prepping ingredients before cooking, or more significant issues, such as overcooking or undercooking food. The good news is that these mistakes can be easily avoided with a bit of knowledge and preparation. In this book, we will explore the most common mistakes that anyone can make in the kitchen and provide practical tips and advice on how to avoid them. For instance, one of the most common mistakes is not prepping ingredients before cooking. Prepping ingredients involves washing, peeling, chopping, and measuring out all the ingredients you will need before you start cooking. This will make the process of cooking much easier and less stressful by ensuring that you have everything you need on hand and prepared. Another common mistake is overcooking or undercooking food. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including using the wrong cooking method, not using a thermometer to check the temperature of the food, or simply not paying attention to the cooking time. Overcooked or undercooked food can be tough, dry, or even dangerous to eat, so it's essential to get the cooking time and temperature just right. Other common mistakes include using dull knives, not measuring ingredients accurately, ignoring the importance of seasoning, not tasting food as you go, crowding the pan or oven, failing to plan, and not cleaning up as you cook. It's essential to remember that cooking is a learning process, and it takes time and practice to become proficient. You can become a more skilled cook by being aware of these common mistakes and avoiding them. The suggestions and guidance in this book will enable you to prepare delectable meals that you can be proud of, whether you're preparing them for yourself, your family, or guests.

Through 150 decadent and smart recipes, the Food Network icon explores how the relationships with her family have shaped her as a chef and home cook. “Each recipe overflows with love and purpose, technique and soul, and, most of all, genuine joy for nourishing the people in your life who matter most.”—Gail Simmons, food expert, TV host, and author of Bringing it Home NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND FOOD NETWORK Growing up with a legendary cookbook-editor mother and a food-obsessed father, Alex Guarnaschelli has always loved to cook. Now, with a daughter of her own, food and cooking mean even more to Alex—they are a way for her to share memories, such as shopping in Little Italy with her father for cured meats and aged cheeses, and tasting the recipes her mom would make from the cookbooks of the iconic authors she worked with. And, more than anything, cooking is what Alex and her daughter, Ava, most love to do together. In Cook with Me, Alex revives the recipes she grew up with, such as her mom’s chicken with barbecue sauce and her dad’s steamed pork dumplings, offers recipes for foods that she wishes she grew up with, such as comforting and cheesy baked ziti, and details dishes new to her repertoire, including sheet pan pork chops with spicy Brussels sprouts and a roasted sweet potato salad with honey and toasted pumpkin seeds. From meatballs two ways (are you a Godfather or a Goodfellas person?) to the blueberry crumble her mom made every summer, Alex shares recipes and insights that can come only from generations of collective experience. These recipes reflect the power that food has to bring people together and is a testament to the importance of sustaining traditions and creating new ones.
