I'm gob smacked that a 2023 cookbook uses a 1950's ingredient, mayonnaise, so liberally when there are healthy oils available. The Table of Contents points us to lots of basics and building blocks as well as techniques, hints and a ‘sauce library’. Chicken Scrambled Eggs- Ever take a whiff of a jar of bouillon powder and think “I want a meal that tastes like only this.

This would be a perfect cookbook for someone just starting out or looking to make more recipes from scratch. My son loves this YouTuber and asked me to read his cookbook and review it, so of course I said yes! I'll borrow just about anything from the library, but it takes A LOT to get me to give up real estate on my kitchen shelf. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH).But there are also a couple that don’t quite hit that “impressive” mark or which might be a bit more intimidating to the home cook. Nick cooks almost daily, drawing inspiration from the many chefs he’s worked with as well as his diverse extended family. 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.

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. From typical frat pack fare such as toasted sandwiches, shepherd’s pie or pimped packet ramen to a lobster roll (containing almost half a kg of fresh lobster) and chicken confit, this recipe collection is eclectic, drawing from a wide enough range of affordability and cultures to be of interest to a cross-section of cooks. In his debut cookbook, Nick DiGiovanni gives you the tools to become fearless in the kitchen and to create delicious meals.DiGiovanni is a force to be reckoned with and truly unique in his field as he blends culinary excellence with a personable TV presence and a loyal social following of over 22 million people. I had to read the receipe twice to understand the instructions and found it great during this summer time. Also the QR codes in the beginning with the videos, I feel like I'm watching the most informational tik toks I've ever seen. Explore a library of QR codes linking to video tutorials showcasing key cooking techniques, from holding a chef’s knife and making a piping bag to pronouncing “gnocchi” the correct way. Obviously everyone’s tastes are different so no cookbook ever manages to be 100% for anyone (except perhaps its own author), but this one is closer aligned to my tastes than most.
