For Anne Burrell, a classically trained chef and host of
Food Network’s Secrets of a Restaurant Chef (where she
shares impressive recipes and smart techniques that anyone
can master), and Worst Cooks in America (the show that
transforms hopeless home cooks), being a rock star in the
kitchen means having the confidence and ability to get a
great meal on the table without a sweat. In her debut
cookbook, she presents 125 rustic yet elegant recipes, all
based on accessible ingredients, along with encouraging
notes and handy professional tricks that will help you cook
more efficiently at home. With Anne's guidance, even the novice cook can turn out
showstoppers like Whole Roasted Fish or Rack of Lamb Crusted
with Black Olives, which are special enough for guests but
easy enough for a weekday evening. For Piccolini (Little
Nibbles), try making Truffled Deviled Eggs, Sausage and
Pancetta Stuffed Mushrooms, or Baked Ricotta with Rosemary
and Lemon. Delicious first courses include Pumpkin Soup with
Allspice Whipped Cream and Garlic Steamed Mussels with
Pimentón Aioli. And if you're craving pasta, Chef Anne's
Light-as-a-Cloud Gnocchi, Sweet and Spicy Sausage Ragù, or
Killer Mac and Cheese with Bacon will blow you away. Whether she's telling you how to use garlic most effectively
("perfume the oil, remove the garlic, and ditch it—it's
fulfilled its garlic destiny!") or reaffirming the most
important part of cooking (it should have the “sparkle
factor!”), you will never feel alone at the stove. Anne's
effervescent personality and unmatched vitality will be
there every step of the way--as teacher, coach, cooking
partner, and friend. Organized from “Piccolini and Firsts” to “Pasta, Seconds,
Sides,” and, of course, “Dessert” Cook Like a Rock Star is
all about empowering you with the confidence to own what you
do in your kitchen, to be excited by what you're making, and
to experience the same kind of joy that Anne feels everyday
when she cooks and eats.
