Dana kept a dark secret for years: from veggies to meat, baking to broiling, breakfast to dinner, she ruined just about every sort of dish she tried making. Now, in a cookbook confessional, the vaunted first lady of food and exceptional entertainer comes clean finally about her many meal mishaps.
With help from friends (including all-star chefs like Alex Guarnaschelli, Mario Batali, and Tom Colicchio, among many others) she takes on 100 recipes dear to her heart. Ideal dishes for the home cook, each one of these recipes has a high “yum” factor, a few key ingredients, and one special trick which makes it special. With each dish, she acquires a new critical skill, discovering some invaluable lessons along the way from the hero chefs that help her learn precisely where she goes wrong.
Heartwarming and hilarious, instructional and encouraging, this book is going to inspire anybody that loves a good meal yet fears its preparation. Featuring beautiful full-color photography, it’s an intimate and hands-on cooking guide from a fellow foodie and amateur home cook, designed to help out even the biggest kitchen phobics overcome their reluctance, with rather delicious results.
