THE YEAR BY TASTE OF HOME A thoroughly modern guide to becoming a
smarter, faster, more creative cook from Molly Baz, featuring fun,
flavourful recipes anyone can make. If you seek out, celebrate and

supreme deliciousness. Cook This Book is a new kind of foundational
cookbook from Molly Baz, who's here to teach you absolutely
everything she knows and equip you with the tools to become a
better, less stressed, more efficient cook. Molly breaks the
essentials of cooking down to clear and uncomplicated recipes that
deliver big flavour with little effort and a side of education,
including dishes like Pastrami Roast Chicken with Schmaltzy Onions
and Dill, Chorizo and Chickpea Carbonara, and, of course, her
signature Cae Sal. But this is not your average cookbook. More than
a collection of recipes, Cook This Book teaches you the invaluable
superpower of improvisation through visually compelling lessons on
such topics as the importance of salt and how to balance flavour,
giving you all the tools necessary to make food that tastes great
every time. Throughout, you'll encounter dozens of QR codes,
accessed through the camera app on your smartphone, that link to
short, technique-driven videos hosted by Molly to help illuminate
some of the trickier skills. As Molly says, 'Cooking is really fun,
I swear. You simply need to set yourself up for success to truly
enjoy it.' Cook This Book will help you do just that, inspiring a
new generation to find joy in the kitchen and take pride in putting
a home-cooked meal on the table, all with the unbridled fun and
spirit that only Molly could inspire.
