"If you’ve ever cooked from a collection of recipes from different sources, you know how frustratingly inconsistent they can be. But do not underestimate the power of a firm editorial hand! In this (rather oddly titled) book, Food & Wine editor Dana Cowin adapts dishes from dozens of the country’s best-known restaurant names, soliciting pro tips and snapping a selfie or two. The end result is gorgeous, simple recipes that even a rank beginner can manage. Plus, you get to see some of your favorite celebrity chefs hamming it up in Cowin’s kitchen."
