An amateur gourmet cooks side by side with America's leading chefs and shares the lessons, recipes, and secrets that will make anyone cook like a pro in the home kitchen. Some people say you can only learn to cook by doing. So Adam Roberts set out to cook with America's best chefs to figure out how any average Joe or Jane can cook like a seasoned pro.
It's a journey peppered with rock-star chefs and passionate home cooks, unified by a common passion, one that Roberts understands deeply and one that he transfers to the reader with flair, thoughtfulness, and good humour: a love and appreciation for cooking. Filled with lessons, tips, and tricks passed on from America's top chefs, plus 150 recipes adapted for the home cook, the book transports readers into the best kitchens across America so they can learn to really cook like a pro.
