A Confident Cook

Description

A new cookbook for beginners and curious cooks by Emmy Award-winning talk show host and journalist, Tamron Hall, and her good friend, award-winning chef Lish Steiling.

When Tamron Hall and Lish Steiling first met while working at the Today show, they never imagined that their friendship would lead to endless kitchen adventures filled with laughs, learning, and even tears of pure joy. In A Confident Cook, they share that same empowerment and excitement with those who are just starting to cook. Learn how to select the tools you need (and skip the ones you don’t!); how to stock your pantry; and how to cook for one, two, or a whole group. Scrumptious recipes include Baked French Toast with Berries for a crowd, Crispy Fried Chicken, Harissa Roasted Carrots with Queso Fresco, Chai Spiced Pudding, and cocktails and mocktails such as “Not Tonight, Satan.” Throughout Lish and Tamron chat, teach, learn, and inspire you to keep it going in the kitchen!“Lucky Tamron to have a gifted teacher like Lish to guide her! This is a perfect first cookbook for anyone who wants to have more confidence in the kitchen.”
—Giada De Laurentiis

“Lish and Tamron’s passion for cooking and sharing meals with family and friends comes crashing through the pages of this playful compendium of simple, delicious recipes and techniques. The book is chatty and personal, with very clear directions on how to really set up your kitchen and become a confident cook. With irresistible recipes like Big Citrus Dutch Baby with Ice Cream Sauce for brunch and Chicken Thighs with Dates and Olives for dinner, I am in. You need this book!”

—Carla Hall

“A Confident Cook is what happens when two genuine pros collaborate—in this case, a seasoned chef and an acclaimed host/interviewer. Together, Tamron and Lish get at the very heart and soul of cooking, why it matters, how it connects us, and how truly satisfying it can be when done with patience and love. Theirs is a friendship worth celebrating!”
