my mom bought me this book as a random gift and it’s one of the most exciting cookbooks i own; a lot of the recipes are genuinely so new to me and a reminder of how like, cool(?) cooking is
There's a bunch of beautiful cookbooks out rn that have recognization (anything from Serious Eats writers + Nosrat) BUT i have to throw this work from David in. It radically changed the way I thought about food.
I admittedly didn't buy your cookbook to learn about you or your philosophy — I just wanted that one recipe I read in the store. But now, before I even get to the sticky chilli fish, I'm here absorbed in your foreword and it's love
