Michelin-star, but make it edgy. Joshua Weissman thinks you should actually start cooking your own food, and he knows it'll taste way better. Join him in the kitchen to cook the foods you never thought to make yourself. While you're at it, why not give it your own twist? Black garlic, homemade spice blends, lacto-fermented veggies...this is stuff only you can make. From simple staples to sophisticated curiosities and from farmhouse to deep-fried, you are the master of your own kitchen.
Food has to be built, so start with the basics. Homemade mayonnaise, fluffy no-fail burger buns, crunchy, briny pickles, impeccably seared beef patties--before you know it, you've assembled a decadent, juicy, completely homemade cheeseburger begging for a bite.
Awe-inspiring and approachable photography and detailed instructions guide you through the whole process of making your foods from scratch. From simple recipe elements such as butter, bread, and broth, to more exciting (but still simple ) creations like Ricotta Pancakes, Grilled Branzino, Banana Fudge Sundaes, and even a Popeyes Chicken Sandwich, you will have the satisfaction of totally homemade. Make your own chili powder. Pulverize your own peanut butter. Culture your own cheese...the list goes on.
If you love to host and entertain; if you like a good project; if you crave control of your food; if fast food or the frozen aisle keeps letting you down; if you desire artificial preservative-free ingredients; then
Better From Scratch is your ideal kitchen companion.
