Knife Drop: Creative Recipes Anyone Can Cook

Product Information

I appreciate the scope of this cookbook, and I look forward to sharing this book with my soon-to-graduate children to have references for successful cooking later in life. Nick cooks almost daily, drawing inspiration from the many chefs he's worked with as well as his diverse extended family. Since first appearing on MasterChef five years ago, DiGiovanni has leaned on the celebrity chef as a trusted adviser.

Most of the time, you can find me at my "homemade" cooking studio in Boston, which I've dedicated to all of you who allow me to do what I love every day. In addition to all of that flavorful, tender meat you get, you’re also left with perfect chicken broth bones, that delicious skin that you can utilize in so many ways, and even that flavorful juice that sits in the bottom of most rotisserie chicken bags,” he says.

In conclusion, I greatly misjudged this book and I'm making room on my kitchen shelf for it as we speak. After testing just about every online cooking trend, DiGiovanni is no stranger to TikTok tips and tricks. So, naturally, he had to include some viral dishes in the book—think pasta chips, his famous dino nugget recipe, and tuna crispy rice.

I explained the chemistry behind this to my son before doing it for the review and, as predicted, hot grease exploded all over my kitchen. It’s filled with techniques that will last a lifetime, QR codes explaining everything in detail, and great food.

One thing I particularly like, and I don’t know whether to credit the author or the publisher for this, is that every single recipe in the book is accompanied by an attractive full-page illustration so you can see exactly what each dish is supposed to look like.Home-cooked food doesn't have to be over-the-top, fussy, or time-intensive to be absolutely amazing. With millions of followers on social media, young home chef Nick DiGiovanni believes that anyone can be an inventive cook. I am always on the lookout for exciting new cookbooks--either to gift to others at the holidays or to endanger our increasingly groaning shelves of cookbooks. On that note of speaking to his audience, this might also be the perfect cookbook for the social media age because not only is the author apparently a social media cooking star of some sort, but he’s also included QR codes throughout the book leading the reader to videos demonstrating how to prepare some (not all) of the recipes.

This book will help you master the best practices, and then hopefully give you enough confidence to break them yourself,” promises MasterChef finalist DiGiovanni in his accessible debut. As funny as it might sound, placing a slice of bread in your mouth while you chop onions seems to somehow avoid tears,” he says.And despite a couple maybe not quite hitting the same theme as the rest of the book, I consider the book on the whole quite a success. This book offers good food whilst also making it not only simple to make but also simple to look at. Nick cooks almost daily, drawing inspiration from the many chefs he’s worked with as well as his diverse extended family. Recipes range from classics (buttermilk fried chicken, cozy beef chili, and devil’s food cupcakes) to original creations (blueberry Brie grilled cheese, spicy mezcal rigatoni, and no-churn Nutella ice cream).
