Cook You Want to Be: Everyday Recipes to Impress

Andy Baraghani peeled hundreds of onions at Chez Panisse as a teenage intern, honed his perfectly balanced salad–making skills at Estela in New York, and developed recipes in the test kitchens of Saveur, Tasting Table, and Bon Appétit. It took him all those years to figure out the cook he wanted to be: a cook who is true to his Persian heritage, a fresh-vegetable lover, a citrus superfan, and an always-hungry world traveler. In The Cook You Want to Be, Baraghani shows home cooks on how to hone their own cooking styles by teaching the techniques and unexpected flavor combinations that maximize flavor in minimal time.

Touted as "one of the most anticipated cookbooks of 2022," this resource from Andy Baraghani combines his love of flavor with the food of his Iranian-American upbringing. He recasts well-known dishes in utterly delicious ways, bringing unexpected flair to everything from salads, vegetables and grains to pasta, meat and desserts.
