J'ai apprécié ma lecture
J'en ai retiré beaucoup de tips !
Il tape dans la tendance et est très bien fourni

If you ever asked your parent/grandparent how much of an ingredient they put in and they shrug and say "enough", this book is how you become that person. This is NOT your typical cookbook where you have exact amounts of different ingredients, times to do tasks etc. This is learning how to cook by feel and by taste. It's perfect, especially for new cooks or those who just want to cook by feel. There are great tips in here and some really interesting food essays by food scientists. I will use this for years to come.

Renowned chef David Chang (Momofuku) shares his home cooking tips in a useful and imaginative cookbook designed for people with busy lives. Unlike most cookbooks from professional chefs, Cooking at Home is made for people who don't have an army of prep cooks working for them. With the active assistance from co-writer Priya Krishna, Chang offers recipes that are flexible enough to be made with whatever is available, from canned or frozen corn to the microwave. Unlike the reminders in most chef's books that homemade is best, Cooking at Home has notes about how to keep costs down and what steps can be skipped for those short on time. A recipe unfolds into ways to use all of the leftovers. Rather than preach about the importance of using the freshest ingredients, the formerly veggie-averse chef writes about making the most of subpar produce with wit, humor, and irreverence. Cooking at Home is for the cook who shops at a supermarket and not a fishmonger or specialty butcher, but still want to eat things that taste bright and delicious.

Really liked the dynamics of the two voices in this book (David Chang and Priya Krishna). Although it's supposed to be David's stories and recipes, Priya injects her own experiences and opinions throughout the book to make it livelier and more fun to read, especially when she's providing some contradictory commentary to something David has said!

With that said, this book offers up easy recipes to recreate at home with a tool most of us have: a microwave. You'd think that makes this a great book for beginner cooks, but the lack of measurements and somewhat vague instructions in some portions probably make it better for someone who is more confident in the kitchen and with eyeballing things! As someone in the latter group, I found this book enjoyable to read and would like to try a lot of the recipes at home. I also liked how David split the sections into "bulk" recipes like cooking one chicken and using the final result in 5-6 different ways.

The photography was cute and I found the book very quick to get through!

An enlightening and unique cookbook that teaches instinctual cooking. This is the perfect cookbook for an improvisational home chef as it gives principles/methodologies, encourages curiosity, and embracing the process, as well as understanding how dishes have originated and evolved. It has recipes, but they are not nearly as rigid as your regular cookbook. For that reason, this is probably not the book for people who want specific/precise recipes in their cookbook. I loved the philosophy and execution of this book!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

This may be the best cookbook I've read in a long time, and I own a lot of cookbooks. One fun thing about getting into this book is that both authors have a great online video presence, so when you're reading you can pretty much hear it in their voices. I love that they share how different their perspectives on taste and cooking are, it makes cooking so much more personal and low pressure.

Personally their method of instinctual cooking is how my mom cooks and how I now cook, so this made a lot of sense to me and made other types of cuisine seem much easier to cook too. I love all the information they provide about ingredients and why they like those particular ones, it really helps understanding different flavour profiles and if it is something you would like investing in and adding to your pantries.

Dave provides an excellent guide as to how to layer flavours and I'm excited to really try this method when I'm cooking now. When I am cooking my own cuisine I instinctually know how to layer the flavours to achieve balance, but this guide makes me more confident to experiment with layering flavours for different cuisines like Thai or Korean without following a strict recipe.

The recipes in this book do not have and measurements, and I'm so keen to jump in a start cooking and building my confidence with flavours and instincts.

*This review was from an Advanced Reader Copy I received, however, the review is entirely my own.

Thank you Netgalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press, Clarkson Potter for this arc. This is my kind of cookbook. I never follow recipes (which is way I don't bake), but read a recipe, get the of what goes in it and how it is put together, then substitute with what I have/like and add more spice. If you're looking for a step-by-step guide to a dish, this probably isn't the book for you. If you want handy tips and hints and insights this would be perfect. The writing is engaging and easy to read. It's also beautiful and colorful.

Thank you to NetGalley, David Chang and Priya Krishna for providing this free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I am a longtime fan of both Chang and Krishna. I’m a semi regular listener to The David Chang Show and Recipe Club so I was curious what a Chang/Krishna cookbook would look like given the personalities on the show. The answer is exactly like this, and that made reading this book such a joy.

While most people think about cookbooks as a collection of recipes, this book provides you with an approach for thinking about how to cook and some very practical cooking advice including temperatures for meat and poultry, food storage issues and how to actually learn how to season something to taste.

This is truly a 4.5/5 because it definitely feels like Priya was a helpmate of the Dave Chang Show that is this cookbook but that’s a little nitpicky. Truly I loved it and will return to it again and again.

This book was totally fine. I would recommend it to someone interested in chef-y tv shows but who is just learning to cook. If you’ve been cooking for yourself or your family for a few years, you won’t need this book.

If you are a new cook, this book will be very useful in giving you a different and freer approach to cooking. If you want to explore Asian and Asian-inspired dishes you'll also like this book because it reflects Chang's own approach to cooking.

In addition to advice and almost-recipes, the book has several essays on assorted cooking and food topics by various experts.

Unhappily the book has some design faults that will make it difficult to use for more experienced cooks. The experts' essays are all in a small size of type making the, hard to read. Too many of the pages are in low contrast with type that is hard to read. Finally, too much of the book stinks of being overly designed with eye-catching layouts and too much negative space. When I see books like this, I keep thinking "style over substance."

This cookbook will bring you out of your cooking comfort zones for sure! I am so used to very structured recipes that seem easy to mess up, but this book is grace in a cookbook. Strongly recommend. Thank you to NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for a copy of this book for an honest review.

Do you have a friend that's a whirlwind of chaos, who's amazing at playing it by ear? If yes, this is the perfect book for them! If you like making lists and having concrete lists of ingredients, this book might not be for you. 😂

There are lot of things I like behind the principles of this book - learning techniques so that you can be flexible and adapt with what you have and in making recipes you love. Chang teaches techniques of cooking different meats and foods to help you explore and experiment with seasoning, flavors, and more. It's less a book of recipes and more a book of concepts, starters, suggestions, and tips. You might also love this book if you're practicing your cooking and want to develop more of these intuitive skills.

The design of the book is really beautiful with pictures, colorful pages, and lots of tips and ideas for cooking and changing your approach to cooking and experimentation.

I'm a big fan of David Chang and Cooking at Home is a unique cookbook. Great for those who are a fan of learning more about the science of cooking and for those who are looking for shortcuts to use what they have and not be chained to a recipe. There are good visuals and charts and strategies to cook large batches ahead of time and then to use those ingredients throughout the week. Would be a great gift to a new cook or to someone who wants to spend less time in the kitchen without sacrificing flavor.

Thank you to Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press and NetGalley for this ARC.

I did not read this book through an educator lens.

Cooking at Home by David Chang and Priya Krishna was okay. I clearly missed that the title include microwave cooking, which I am prefer not to do. The recipes looked great and were easy to create. This would be a cookbook for those starting to cook on their own for sure, but not something I necessarily need.

David Chang became very well known when Momofuku overtook Manhattan. His food was good and his restaurants were popular. Now, in this book, the well known chef addresses the home cook. He notes that he learned to cook in the classic way but believes that the best food comes without slavishly following recipes. His goal, and one that he successfully achieves, is to show how to cook without panic. He is even a fan of the microwave. This is not a traditional cookbook with precise measurements. This is deliberate.

Both Chang and his co-author Priya Krishna comes to life in these pages. Take a chance and try this different kind of book about cooking. Maybe it will work for you!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

A lot more casual than I was expecting as a cookbook, but I love how it’s structured (here is a base aspect of meal and all the variants you can use it for, and all the ways you can use your microwave) and the back and forth between Chang and Krishna. Would def pick up a digital or physical copy.

I love that this cookbook is written for real people, that it honors the microwave, and respects short cuts. The book itself is visually beautiful and wonderfully organized. My only issue is that it doesn’t feel co-written, it feels like Priya was ghost-writing for Dave. Other than that: a modern classic.

Some good tips and recipes. Could get some information out of this, but is not my type of book - can be for others. Well sectioned and set up.

I enjoyed reading COOKING AT HOME very much. It opened my mind to new meals and recipe combinations I hadn't considered before. I would recommend to others.

I love this cookbook! great recipes I'm excited to try! i love this author and I can't wait to make many of the recipes
